Well, the headline is pretty self-explanatory but be our guest if you need a little more context. In the past year or two, we have been feeling OTT and feeling ourselves by dressing all extra 'cause Covid had stripped us all of dopamine dressing but now, it's finally back!

We have seen everything from bling bags to glass acrylic bags rule the runway in the past year and so. So we decided to curate a list within our reach that don't cost an arm and a leg that are perfect for occasion wear, are funky, and quite quirky,. These bags have so much personality and of course make for the perfect (better) arm candy.

Sequinned Bucket Bag From Zara

Bucket bags have become a rage in the past few years and are usually associated with casual dressing because of the slouchy silhouette, but this one from Zara seems to be going in the opposite direction with its sequined style and bold red colour. We love how fun and un-serious the vibe of this bag seems, perfect for your not-so-formal night outings or when you want to pep up an otherwise somber outfit like a black pant suit or a white T-shirt with denims.

Butterfly Rhinestone Clutch Handbag From Frenesi Fashion

Not to sound unhinged but this bag gives us the feeling that if Alice In Wonderland and Maleficent had a crossover, then this would be the bag the lead would carry. It's cute, but the black adds a grungy element to the look, which we like. I love how the bag's frame is embellished with chunky stones, which adds oomph to it for being arm candy on special occasions and would even pair well with black ethnics.

Marble Clutch From Cult Gaia

Cult Gaia's bamboo Ark bags were the hottest vacation bags to own but if they are too simple for you, get your hands on one of their marble bags which like nothing short of a piece of art. We love this black acrylic one that features marbled paintbrush effect with specks of white and is perfect for carrying the day as well as night. The different-sized balls adorning its boundary add that element of quirk that will add just the right amount of playfulness to your accessory game.

Doux Amour's embellished and embroidered bags have been doing the rounds of Instagram for quite some time, and have quickly become a must-have for pairing with Indian wear. We are currently eyeing their Cosmos Grab bag which features a pattern inspired by serpent scales. Each scale is embroidered with Japanese beads that are coated with metal for that shine. Equipped with a detachable chain strap, this mini bag can be worn as a crossbody or shoulder bag or carried as a grab handbag as it is.

if you have been wanting to hop on the PVC bag trend then this half moon bag from Ozzaro makes for a great budget-friendly purchase. The gold one is quite loud but if that's the look you are going for, then there's no space for doubts. It kind of reminds us of the Bottega Veneta Drop earrings that went viral last year and we can't help but be charmed by its futuristic and contemporary design.

Acrylic Clutch From Crafty Clutchz

The shape of this one and the previous bag is somewhat similar but this one's made of acrylic and comes in this pink candylike marble effect. It's a cute summer bag if you are into experimenting with different colours and shapes. If barbiecore is still on your mind in 2024, then let this bag be your next purchase.

Unique shape? Check. Beautiful colour? Check. Stunning detailing? Big check! This paisley-shaped bag from Fizzy Goblet has everything to qualify as a unique but fun bag purchase. Inspired by the buta, an Indian design motif used in textiles, the colourful intricate embroidery adorned with sequins make this boho bag hard to resist. Imagine pairing this with a simple white kurta set or top and jeans for your daily errands run. Since it's quite spacious and also comes with a zip closure, we are sure you will be able to get more use out of it!

Okay, a lot of us have seen this bag in a number of IG influencers GRWM videos. Well, this heart-shaped bag with a strap with bedazzled strands is actually quite compact and perfect for your nights around town. The bag looks super cute when carried with Indian or western formals, or simply when you want to dress up a simple outfit. It's available in seven different colours too.

AISPI is the one-stop shop for shopping hidden gems from international designers. They sell pieces from a variety of European designers but the bags tend to be the most popular. We are currently eyeing this straw woven bag from THEMOIRè which is an ethical and ecologically responsible brand. the clutch-styled bag features these chunky weaves in a shell and caramel hue along with a Nappa vegan leather top that makes it convenient for holding. If you are looking for a summer bag taht's equal parts sophisticated and expressive, and this one makes for a strong contender.

Thanks to Judith Leiber making rhinestone-studded sculpture bags a thing of prestige, all of us were back to chasing sparkles and shine but didn't have the means (and guts) to spend lakhs on a tiny figurine bag, and so, dupes were the only solution. Luckily, we found House Of Bling, a brand that does similar rhinestone-encrusted bags but at a slightly more affordable price point like this fish one that looks nothing short of a piece of art.
