We’ve tied them round our necks, looped them through belt loops and knotted them onto handbags, but now the humble scarf is getting a promotion. According to Nicola Peltz Beckham, it’s officially time to let it carry the load - quite literally.
Enter the scarf bag - adding another chapter to 2026's ongoing love affair with this endlessly versatile accessory. If the fashion set have given a polished spin to this whimsical accessory, you best believe that I am swiftly following suit!
© @nicolapeltzbeckhamThe appeal? Well, it’s part bag, part styling trick. Sling it over one shoulder, or let it hang casually from your wrist - the scarf bag oozes nonchalance to its core, making it perfect fodder for those of us who lean towards Boho dress codes in the summer months.
Nicola's bag is the highly covetable Pucci Marmo print cotton bag (we can thank our Fashion Features Editor Tania Leslau for that nugget of fashion intel), and thankfully for us fans - there are plenty of amazing pieces out there to get our mitts on and copy the look right now.
