What are crochet bags?
To all the craftcore junkies out there: happy to report crochet is officially cool. For anyone unfamiliar, crocheting is a craft technique where loops of yarn or other materials are interlocked using a hooked needle. Nowadays, the art of crochet has evolved from a niche hobby your grandmother may have enjoyed to a worldwide fashion phenomenon. Crochet accessories have entered the ultra-luxury scene embracing their roots in needlecraft – particularly handbags and they’re stunning.
Why do people love crochet bags?
Crochet designer bags are soft, lightweight, and stylish making them easy to carry around on warmer days. Another benefit to crochet bags is their open weave making them ideal for the beach as they can sift out any lingering sand that’s inside.
Crafted from natural fibers such as cotton or raffia, crochet bags are durable and water resistant which make them popular choices for sun-drenched days by the shore. Think beachside escapades and soirees under the stars.
Crocheted knit bags are perfect boho chic additions to your collection. Anyone who watched in awe at Chemena Kamali’s debut show for Chloe is well aware that the ‘70s French girl vibes are vibing this season.
