And it seems the chunkier, the better. Many brands stormed the SS22 runway with bags at the ready, slung over shoulders or skimming the floor in a loose grip. From Chanel’s queen-sized quilted handbags to Chloé’s big basket bags, the season is anticipated to be larger than life (in more ways than one).
