They say fashion is cyclical – and the current round bag trend is the most satisfying case in point yet.

There's something so inexplicably pleasing about a bag shaped in a perfect circle – and plenty of accessory designers couldn't agree more. With its origins stemming from the vintage 'hat boxes' women used to carry on their travels to keep their headpieces safe from damage, the circular bags may have become smaller in size but are still an easy way to add a certain touch of old-Hollywood glamour to an ensemble.

Round bags first rolled onto the runway a few years ago at Chloé. The brand debuted its Pixie bag which featured a sophisticated circular silhouette – two flat round pieces bound together using a curved gusset, constructed from an exquisite blend of leather and suede.

Gucci was another of the trendsetting fashion houses which chose to air its take on the catwalk, taking the bag style to new, spherical heights. The Italian luxury label exhibited chic globe-shaped accessories in smooth black leather, paired with opulent beadwork and richly textured crêpes.
