Metallic, But Make It Classy

Some metallic designer bags are everything but classic. Trendy and fun, yet most of the time you never really know what to wear them with. Luckily, this trend is taking a trip to the classic side of things—allowing you to wear them with whatever your heart desires. While there’s a world of color to explore in metallics, you don’t always have to go with the boldest. Sometimes neutrals are the best way to go when it comes to putting together your dream wardrobe.

 

That’s why we couldn’t hold back on sharing the MAISON MARGIELA Metallic Painted Leather Wallet and the BALENCIAGA Women’s Hourglass Metallized Crocodile Embossed Xs Handbag. While these are certainly still flashy enough to fit in with the trend, they’re not overbearing to wear on your days or nights out. Metallic designer bags might be scary to rock, but they’re well worth a try this year.
