Wimbledon's old money handbag trend loved by Nicole Scherzinger and royalty - did you notice?

September 2024 ยท 3 minute read

We don't know about you, but we are so obsessed with Wimbledon at the moment. The world famous tennis tournament has fast become THE place to be over the years, and it's quickly become synonymous with style.

Strawberries, Pimm's, sunshine and what you wear to watch the tennis are big news. The royal family arguably set a precedent in dressing super smart for the games, after all, sitting in the Royal Box means you are in the line of fire!

Wimbledon whites are always in style, but smart, tailored looks are also loved by all. This year, we have noticed that top-handle bags - which are part of the ever trending 'Old Money' aesthetic - have been all over Centre Court.

 What is the 'Old Money' aesthetic?

The term is pretty simple. It's pretty much luxurious, classic items that ooze class and elegance. Think chic blazers with vintage buttons in classic tones such as navy or camel. A pair of black stiletto high heels, a crisp white shirt and well-tailored suits. These items will last throughout your life - you will be wearing them in twenty years time as they just don't date. No bold patterns that can go out of style, and certainly no zany logos. Subtle displays of luxury.

Fiorella's 'Nova' bag in black is giving us some serious Hermes mini Kelly vibes, and the 'Iris' bag from luxury vegan brand Mashu has a gorgeous boxy feel and the gold hardware is beyond debonair.
