The question arises today. A handbag is carried by hand. Point. Like pants put on their legs. Like a hat is on the head. Only very predictable. Of course, there are variants: a shoulder bag adjusts to the shoulder. A banana bag fits the size. A backpack stuffs the back. Then, this season, has blown a crazy idea in many creators: carry the bag with full hand.

In the cabin, during the Céline parade for spring-summer 2015, Clare Waight Keller advocated neglecting the handle "Curved" to better capture its well-designed volume.

Disdain handles and shoulder strap. Use the fingers to grip the object, in direct contact both carnal and possessive. Celine, Carven, Chanel, Lanvin, Dries Van Noten gave themselves the word, sorry, the bag. "I did not want to fall into the trap of showing a bag at all costs, but rather something that involves a spontaneous gesture," says Barbara Bui, who adds: "I like the quick gesture, removed, who participates in the look. Even the search for instantaneity by Fausto Puglisi, the young artistic director of Emanuel Ungaro: "I find that wearing a bag with a firm hand gives a modern and determined attitude, and infuses the silhouette with more force. It's immediate, fast, it's going fast, like a Lamborghini! »Disactivate the bag.

It was exactly Veronique Leroy's desire: "To erase the attitude" Lady like ", to give more relaxation. The handbag, the last bourgeois symbol laid on the ground, as one dethrones a statue of a commander? Not yet. "It's a wear to alternate with the traditional and classic wear, especially when the bag is heavy and loaded, and needs to be supported. Myself, I do it every day, "she adds. The handbag has nothing to fear ... as long as it will have handles.
