Why not supersize it? Go on - make it bigger and bigger. And while you’re at it, make the handles as small as you can. That’s bags this season: oversized holdalls that are made to only be held in the hand. Practical? Wait to see how many bags actually get into production, you’ll probably find that in-store, the proportions change to a far more manageable state of affairs. The key message though is that the bag is being used as a punctuation point to your outfit, and that the clothes are meant to be left unhindered - there’s something snappy about the silhouette with the bag held in the hand. Even more so when, as at Prada, the handles are ignored and the bag is held in a curl.
