Can SJP make wide-open handbags a trend? I hope not | Emma Beddington

Sarah Jessica Parker's Fendi Bag: Can She Make Wide-Open Handbags the Next Big Thing?

Sarah Jessica Parker has always been known for pushing fashion boundaries, and her latest venture is no exception. Her Fendi bag, complete with a purple sequined lining, has been making waves on the catwalk and sparking debate about its potential as a trend.

The wide-open handbag phenomenon seems to be taking center stage in Paris Fashion Week, with designs from top brands like Loewe, Chanel, and Louis Vuitton showcasing gaping leather goods. However, it's unclear whether this trend will translate to everyday life.

While some see the style as "chic and insouciant," others consider it polarizing. It remains to be seen whether SJP can convince the masses that wide-open handbags are a must-have accessory. With her Carrie Bradshaw alter ego already popularizing unconventional fashion items like name necklaces, corseted dresses, and statement shoes, one might argue that she's uniquely positioned to make this trend happen.

However, there are valid concerns about the practicality of carrying around an open-handbag contents for public consumption. The reality is often far from glamorous โ€“ think forgotten snacks, expired tissues, and crumpled up receipts. In fact, a closer examination of most handbags reveals that they contain a treasure trove of unsavory secrets, from used lip balm to stale granola bars.

In an era where personal safety is increasingly a concern, it's also worth considering the potential risks of carrying an open-handbag on public streets. One can only imagine how the usually friendly locals in small towns might react if they were confronted with someone sauntering down Main Street with their contents spilling out for all to see.

While New York may be accustomed to this kind of trend-driven fashion, in more traditional settings, it's unlikely that wide-open handbags will go unnoticed. It's difficult to envision a scenario where the general public would enthusiastically adopt this style without some carefully considered consideration of its potential drawbacks.

Ultimately, only time will tell if Sarah Jessica Parker's Fendi bag and the wider world of wide-open handbags can become a trend. One thing is certain โ€“ it'll be worth watching as this fashion phenomenon unfolds.
 
๐Ÿค‘ I think this whole wide-open handbag trend is kinda like the 2016 US presidential election all over again - lots of people talking about how hot it is, but nobody really knows what's inside ๐Ÿค”. People are either totally on board or totally against it, and it's hard to see it becoming mainstream without some careful consideration of the 'content' that comes with it ๐Ÿ˜‚. And let's be real, who wants their expired lip balm on full display? ๐Ÿคฎ It's all about the optics, folks!
 
omg u think sjp can make wide open bags cool? i'm like 50/50 on it ๐Ÿค” idk about ppl's sanity tho, carrying around expired tissues & used lip balm in public? that's just gross ๐Ÿ˜ท but at the same time, who am i to judge fashion trends? lol maybe its just a phase and we'll move on to something else soon? u think sjp has what it takes to make this trend happen though? ๐Ÿ’โ€โ™€๏ธ
 
I feel like we're due for a handbag revival, but I'm not sure about open-handbags being the next big thing ๐Ÿค”. On one hand, SJP's Fendi bag looks fire, and her influence in the fashion world is undeniable ๐Ÿ’โ€โ™€๏ธ. But on the other hand, think about it... who actually wants to show off their trash? ๐Ÿšฎ I mean, we've all been there with our leaky water bottles or crushed up coffee cups โ€“ not exactly the most glamorous things to flaunt publicly ๐Ÿ˜‚. And let's be real, in more traditional settings, open-handbags might just raise some eyebrows ๐Ÿ‘€. I'm all for taking fashion risks, but safety and practicality have got to come first ๐Ÿ’ก
 
So I'm thinking... maybe this wide-open handbag trend isn't just about aesthetics, you know? ๐Ÿค” It's like, what if we're all just so used to living our lives in a virtual bubble that we've forgotten how to deal with the messy reality of carrying stuff around. Like, remember when you were younger and had to carry a backpack or purse through school? ๐Ÿ“š It was always a hassle, but it was also like, a rite of passage or something.

Nowadays, we're all about convenience and ease, and I think that's why wide-open handbags are so appealing. We don't want to have to deal with the hassle of zipping up our bags or worrying about what's inside. But at the same time, isn't that just a cop-out? Like, shouldn't we be more concerned with being prepared for life and not having all our junk spilling out everywhere? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

I guess what I'm trying to say is that this trend might not just be about fashion โ€“ it's also about our values and how we want to live our lives. Do we want to be the kind of people who are always put together and polished, or do we want to be the kind of people who can roll with the punches and handle a little bit of chaos? ๐ŸŒช๏ธ Only time will tell if Sarah Jessica Parker's Fendi bag can make us rethink our priorities... ๐Ÿ‘€
 
I'm so down for this wide open handbag trend ๐Ÿคฉ but let's get real, who thought it was a good idea to carry around last week's snacks and crumpled up receipts in public? ๐Ÿ˜‚ the practicality thing is real, fam. i love sara jessica parker's style, but even she can't convince me to rock an open-handbag everyday ๐Ÿ™…โ€โ™€๏ธ also, what about security concerns? like, wouldn't that be kinda sketchy? ๐Ÿ˜ณ
 
I'm intrigued by this whole wide-open handbag thing ๐Ÿค”... it makes me think about how our perception of style can sometimes clash with reality. Like, I get it, fashion should be fun and expressive, but what happens when we start to prioritize aesthetics over practicality? ๐Ÿ˜Š Does that mean we're willing to overlook the not-so-glamorous parts of everyday life just to fit in? And then there's the question of personal safety - if someone's got a bag spilling out all their snacks and receipts on the street, what does that say about our collective priorities? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ I'm not saying it's a bad idea, but we need to consider both sides before making up our minds... or should I say, making our bags ๐Ÿ˜‰
 
I'm not sure about SJP making wide-open handbags the next big thing... I mean, I love her style and all but I think some people might just find it too extra ๐Ÿ˜‚. Like, I can see the potential for them to be super chic in certain situations but carrying around snacks and used tissues is just not my cup of tea ๐Ÿคข. And yeah, personal safety is a legit concern on the streets... I don't want to imagine someone getting weird looks or worse because they're rocking an open handbag in a small town! ๐Ÿ˜ณ Still, it'll be interesting to see how this trend plays out and if SJP can convince people to join the party ๐ŸŽ‰.
 
I think SJP's wide-open handbag is gonna be HUGE ๐Ÿคฉ! I mean, who wouldn't want to show off their everyday essentials? It's all about embracing the imperfections and having fun with fashion, right? And hey, if people are already talking about it, that's half the battle ๐Ÿ˜„. Of course, practicality is a thing, but life is too short to worry about that stuff, don't you think? ๐Ÿค— Just imagine strolling down the street with your favorite snacks and lip balm on full display... it's like having a personal art show! ๐Ÿ’–
 
I gotta say, I'm not sold on the whole wide-open handbag thing. I mean, sure, it looks cool on a catwalk, but would you really want to carry around all that... stuff in public? ๐Ÿค” I get that SJP's got a rep for pushing boundaries, but this one feels like a bit of a stretch. What if your granola bars go stale or your lip balm gets used up? Not exactly the most glamorous sight. And don't even get me started on the safety thing... I can just imagine some dude giving you weird looks down Main Street with his bag spilling out everywhere ๐Ÿšซ. I think SJP's got a good shot at making this trend happen, but I'd need to see it all come together before I'd start collecting my own wide-open handbags ๐Ÿ˜‚.
 
idk about SJP makin' wide-open bags the next big thing lol ๐Ÿ˜‚ those designs look more like somethin' u'd find at a rave than in ur daily life. i mean, can u imagine walkin down Main St with ur lip balm and stale granola bars spilling outta ur bag? ๐Ÿคฃ and what about them public safety concerns? ain't nobody got time for that. but hey, fashion's all about takin risks, so i guess only time'll tell if SJP can make this trend work ๐Ÿค‘
 
Ugh I'm so meh about this whole wide-open handbag thing ๐Ÿ™„, I mean don't get me wrong SJP's Fendi bag looks super chic and all that jazz but can we really see this trend catching on? Like aren't we a little tired of fashion being all about shock value and attention-seeking already? I feel like we're already bombarded with enough weird and wonderful stuff in our daily lives, do we really need to carry around open-handbags for good measure? ๐Ÿค”

And have you thought about the practicality of this whole thing? Like what if you just got a little too excited while walking down the street and your contents start spilling out everywhere? I mean can't we just stick with some basic, functional handbags that don't make us look like we're trying way too hard? ๐Ÿ˜‚

I'm all for SJP pushing fashion boundaries but this one feels like it's going a bit too far. Let's hope she can bring some sense and reason to the table because right now I'm just not feeling it ๐Ÿ’โ€โ™€๏ธ
 
I'm just saying, back in my day we didn't need no fancy bags to carry our essentials. We used tote bags or just our hands! ๐Ÿคฃ Nowadays, I see these wide-open handbags and think they're more of a novelty than something people would actually use on a daily basis. And what's with the practicality concerns? A little bit of dirt and crumbs never hurt anyone, right? ๐Ÿ˜‚ Plus, can you imagine walking down the street with your snacks and tissues hanging out of your bag like it's no big deal? I think SJP might be onto something here, but only if she makes sure to add some clever storage solutions. And honestly, who knows, maybe it'll just become a fun trend for fashionistas on Instagram ๐Ÿ˜Ž
 
I gotta say, wide open handbags are kinda crazy ๐Ÿคฏ. I mean, yeah, SJP always did push boundaries with her style, but I'm not sure if even she can make that look work in real life ๐Ÿ™…โ€โ™€๏ธ. I get why it's polarizing - some people love it, others hate it, and I'm like "same, fam" ๐Ÿ˜‚. And don't even get me started on the practicality... forget about it ๐Ÿ’โ€โ™€๏ธ. I mean, have you ever had to carry around a bunch of random stuff in public? No thanks ๐Ÿšซ. And what about safety concerns? Like, what if someone tries something sketchy because they saw your snacks spilling out? ๐Ÿคฏ Not worth the risk, imo ๐Ÿ˜’. I'm curious to see how this whole thing plays out, though - will it be a trend or just a flash in the pan? Only time (and SJP's bank account) will tell ๐Ÿ’ธ
 
I don't think SJP's bag is gonna be the game-changer we all need, tbh ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ. I mean, have you seen the contents of most handbags in real life? Let's just say they're not exactly glamorous ๐Ÿ˜‚. And what about the practicality aspect? Like, who carries around used lip balm and expired tissues on a daily basis? Not me, that's for sure ๐Ÿ’โ€โ™€๏ธ. I think this trend is more like a fun Paris Fashion Week thingy, but I'm good without the drama ๐ŸŽ‰.
 
๐Ÿค” so I'm thinking of this SJP Fendi bag and I drew a little diagram to help visualize why people might like it or not ๐Ÿ“

I mean, on one hand, it's SJP and Fendi so you know it's gonna be fire ๐Ÿ”ฅ. But on the other hand, there are a lot of practical concerns like what if you're not ready for whatever is in your bag when it spills out? ๐Ÿคฏ And also, I don't know about some places where they might see this as weird or even scary ๐Ÿ˜ณ. So yeah, only time will tell if it's a trend that sticks around ๐Ÿ•ฐ๏ธ.
 
omg, i'm low-key obsessed with sJP's new fendi bag!!! ๐Ÿค‘๐Ÿ‘— that purple sequined lining tho... i think she's def on to something here! wide-open handbags could be huge in a good way... can u imagine how stylish and chic it'll look when ur carrying around all ur fave snacks & makeup? ๐Ÿ’„๐Ÿฟ but at the same time, i do see what ppl mean about practicality... who wants to be seen with their expired gum or used tissues out? ๐Ÿคช lolol. anywayz, can't wait to c how this trend evolves! ๐Ÿ‘€
 
ugh what's wrong with closed bags lol remember when we used to use our bags just for carrying stuff not like a giant trash can? I swear back in the day, designers made functional bags that weren't just for show ๐Ÿ˜‚ anyway, i'm kinda curious about this trend but like, wouldn't it be weird walking around with your socks and crumpled up receipts spilling out? ๐Ÿคฃ i mean sarah jessica's always been a fashion risk taker so maybe she can make it work but i think it'll just end up being another fleeting trend that no one actually owns the bag for ๐Ÿค‘
