The last two years have pushed us to get creative with our wardrobes. We came up with the concept of “waist-up dressing,” which kept our statement earrings and pretty blouses from collecting dust by putting them to good use during virtual meetings. We also introduced “nap dresses”–a trend that was welcome because it gave us an excuse to wear our summer dresses around the house. However, there were still several items that we couldn’t find a purpose for at home and one of them was bags. Now that we’re slowly moving towards some semblance of normalcy and our calendars are filling up with social commitments yet again, we are making up for lost time by stocking up on bags in every shape and size from our favourite homegrown sources. These are some of the names on our list.
