Now that the Peacocks have returned from a month of preening for the cameras, it’s time to take a look back on the fashion weeks. First up: the many street-style bait bags. Like all of the seasons before, the choices were an equal mix of weird, wonderful, and chic. As usual, Céline was a big hit — especially the giant totes first spotted on the fall 2015 runway. Another popular choice was Anya Hindmarch. Her kooky totes, stickers, and clutches made it easy to spot the street-style stars. And to round things out, it seems like a new “It” bag designer is emerging to challenge Céline’s current supremacy. Who could it be? Click ahead to find out, and to see the other best, worst and craziest bags from the month that was.
