What’s this we hear about handbags doubling as jewelry? Yes, these babies exist and they are pure genius. They might be even replacing the good old belt bags!

But let’s not get ahead of ourselves…

So necklace bags, what are they really? Call them lanyards or call them what you may, these little darlings have been invading the Spring-Summer 2019 runways faster than you can say “Wow”. Designers and big fashion houses such as Gabriela Hearst, Burberry, Dior, CHANEL – amongst others – have all been spoiling fashion endorsers with all-things glamorous and it only seemed fair that necklace bags would follow suit.

The good thing about them is that you can free your hands from all the hassle you get from your average purses and totes. Another great thing is that you don’t even have to wear a necklace anymore, they’ll do just the trick! The downside is that more often than not, they’re too small to fit all your belongings at once – maybe just make sure you insert your wallet and keys first. But that doesn’t mean we aren’t head over heels in love with them! To help you out, we’ve scoured the best runway inspos and the must-have necklace bags you can have.
