For the nights when we don’t want to put effort into our clothes, show a lot of skin and most likely be underdressed, there is a bag that will veto your entire outfit choice and still make you the standout star you know you are. It’s not just about having the perfect dress or standout outfit these days, but your accessories, especially the bag, has to have a voice and it better scream “SLAY”. The party bag compliments but is regarded separately to the outfit and carries its own confidence and attitude. This is where you would be at a work function dressed very demure, but the bag is breaking all the rules and making sure you are seen and heard. We have done the work and rounded up our favourite breakout party bags everyone must try.

Velvet Crush
We’re starting the list off with a bang with this show-stopping purple velvet bag.  This is for the sophisticated, classy party where one hand is solely dedicated to your party bag and the other hold your glass of champagne while you mingle with guests.

Marble Feels
If you’re going for that futuristic sleek look, this is the bag for you. Pair it with your favorite girls night out dress and don’t be afraid to wear colour; you will definitely be a standout with a splash of drama.

Vintage Vibes
There’s something about wearing something from the past in the present that gives you ultimate street cred. We love this retro throwback wrist bag, giving all the disco diva vibes.  Throw on your LBD, sky-high heels, and gold hoops for the ultimate party look.

Boho Babe
The easy breezy boho babe is versatile and ventures out in her style while still keeping true to her relaxed roots. This is the perfect party bag for her with stone accents and a brass metal exterior giving a regal look and cool-girl vibes.

Edgy Gal
We couldn’t end the list without a fun and outrageous bag for our edgy babes. We believe there is no such thing as too much, and this clutch definitely speaks for itself. It demands attention and the spotlight everywhere it goes, and it is one to have in your closet.
