If there’s one thing that’s actually fashionable in the 2000s, it’ll be the “baguette-style” bag. A shoulder bag with a short strap that allows it to be nestled just below one’s underarm (like how one might carry the French bread), this number is making a major comeback now – and it’s already seen on the arms of Blackpink’s Lisa.
Early renditions include Prada’s nylon shoulder bag and Louis Vuitton’s monogram Pochette, a collaboration with Japanese artist Takashi Murakami. And of course, how could anyone forget Fendi’s Baguette, popularised by Carrie Bradshaw in the hit series, Sex and the City?
Today, the style is It once again, with celebs such as Blackpink’s Lisa seen toting new interpretations like the Ava bag from Celine. Even high-street labels, like Mango and Zara, are jumping on the bandwagon.
Wanna look as stylish as Blackpink’s Lisa? Here are 10 options, including the Celine Ava bag that she’s carrying, for you to choose from.
This is the bag that Lisa adores. Wear it like how she did: with a black cropped top, denim jeans and loafers.

We love a good brown bag because it’s just as timeless as its black counterpart. Contest its neutral shade with a bright outfit, like a baby blue suit.
How can you say no to this fun-sized purse? Carry it by its strap for work, and by its chain for drinks with your girlfriends.
Grab attention with this buttery red mock croc upper version. The best part? It’s super affordable. Let this stand out by rocking it with a white T-shirt and a pair of denim jeans.
We don’t need to elaborate much on this iconic Louis Vuitton piece. Its classic monogram canvas upper literally goes with everything in your closet.
This bag is made for those who’re in love with this cheery hue. Let its zesty bubblegum colour shine by matching it with a neutral number.
To buy, contact the brand’s Ngee Ann City store manager Jonathan at 9788-6510 via Whatsapp.
Nothing screams “Noughties chic” louder than this piece from Zara. Juxtapose its vintage looks with a contemporary outfit like a white cotton shirt with an orange pleated midi skirt.
Pastel bags for work and the weekends? Hell, yeah! Match it with pastel and neutra coloured clothes to get that Korean look.
“It’s not just a bag. It’s Prada.” – Kevin Copeland, White Chicks (2004). Jokes aside, this purse has a unique shape that we’re obsessed with. Wear it with a black pantsuit for maximum sophistication.
Yes, we’re aware that you can’t travel to a seaside destination right now. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t channel beachy Bali holiday vibes with this purse. To achieve the look, pair it with a cotton sundress and leather slides.
