What's The Flap?

Well, that would be the flap-front handbag, the latest trend among celebrities and "street style stars" alike. After viewing many of the recent fashion week pictures, I noticed that the much coveted Mansur Gavriel bucket bag had been upstaged by the recent crop of  flap-front shoulder bags. Chanel, Saint Laurent, Chloé, Louis Vuitton, J.W. Anderson, and Gucci were the most prominent.

As we know, in the world of fashion, it's all about the latest trend. One day you're in, one day you're out, with the exception of the classics such as Gucci and Chanel. See a few well-known names and their bags, along with designer offerings, and similar styles. I've included a particular Chloé bag which retails for $1,090 on netaporter.com, for $799 at tjmaxx.com.
