Even if you’re not exactly 30, flirty and thriving (yes, Jenna Rink, I’m quoting you), you’d know that getting into baguette bags isn’t like rocket science. These accessories aren’t just fashionable—they’re also pretty handy and functional.
If you wanna ride on the same philosophy as a 2004 rom-com character (even when you’re just off to the grocery store), then we have a cheat code for that. Here are five local online shops where you can cop cool and stylish baguette bags on Instagram, your holy grail for your next Y2K serve.
COPPER
A complete look that exudes both indie and street vibes? You’re on COPPER territory. Their cute gingham-inspired “Where U At” baguette bags will definitely polish your comfy and modish look. Like what they say on their bio, the brand stands for the “modern girl personified,” which is “bold, fun-loving, unafraid, sweet, in-command”—and their collection definitely has something for everyone. JSYK, they also have micro mini bags, a.k.a. their baguette bags’ siblings.
Bondi Studios
Plain baguette bags aren’t bad at all—they just need a little shaping. Thanks to Bondi Studios, there’s a unique squiggly-shaped baguette bag for your every mood, whether you’re feeling playful or totally chill.
“We came up with the squiggly shape and played around with fun colors to really inject Bondi into it. Each bag also comes with a reusable moon tote that can be used separately,” Bondi told us. They’ve also partnered with local suppliers to highlight Filipino craftsmanship in their pieces.
Aesthetically Stitched
FYI, crochet-based ’fits are still a thing. Designer Catherine Dioquino’s brainchild Aesthetically Stitched is heavily inspired by ’90s fashion—the type to make you stand out. Injecting minimalism and modernity, the shop is particular with colors to produce dainty picturesque and charming designs to gloss some sweetness on your flavor. Tip: You can also cop customized baguette bags starting at P500.
The Knifty Club
Mixing both her customers’ fancies with her personal vision is the main goal of Eunice, The Knifty Club’s mom. In the collection, boldness and maximalism are big not just in the tiny baguettes, but also in their lovely totes and purses that have soft hues and hippie aesthetics. The Knifty Club’s crochet baguette bags are truly convenient pieces that could add more character to different fashion tastes.
Puffs
“Knoguettes” exist, and they’re part of Puffs’ collection. These attention-grabbing braided-style bags are your instant bestie, with their pastel colors that will brighten up your (secretly) dark aura in no time. Plus, they also have vintage and leather baguette bags available for dibs.
