Maxi bag, maxi style

After the advent of micro bags in which we struggle to fit our phone, it's the return of large volumes! Resolutely practical with their XXL size, they return to their primary function: that of carrying as many things as possible on one arm. Maxi bag, maxi style!

The messenger bag

The messenger bag is a staple in the realm of XXL bags. "A long bag, opened in the middle, whose ends form pockets when worn on the shoulder" (according to Le Robert), the messenger bag was once the ideal accessory for carrying food. Made of soft material, its volume and large handles give it a slouchy ("unstructured") look that is both relaxed and trendy.

With its casual and timeless design, the messenger bag is a classic in women's wardrobes: it pairs well with both a chic urban outfit (cargo pants, shirt, polo...) and a casual look (jeans, sneakers, t-shirt...). Made of leather, it adds a touch of elegance to the most austere outfits; in canvas, it is perfect for carrying sports gear or everyday items.

What we love: its shoulder or crossbody carry. Super practical when you want to keep your hands free!

The tote bag

If there is one maxi bag that you must acquire, it is the tote bag! Commonly referred to as a "catch-all," it is as practical as its name suggests – it will especially delight all parents carrying their children's belongings! Originally, the tote took the form of an XXL woven straw basket to transport harvests from the fields. It was then appreciated for storing provisions found at the market. And while it gradually abandons straw for more modern materials (leather, canvas, synthetic materials…), it still retains its major asset: its capacity. Today, the tote is indeed THE spacious bag to have in your wardrobe. Comfortable and functional, it can be worn on the shoulder or on the forearm and transforms according to the day's activities: a business bag thanks to its A4 format, stylish for shopping, sporty for going to the gym… The tote takes on a thousand and one forms to meet your needs.

Our advice: be careful, although it is a cult item in our wardrobe, the tote bag is not suitable for all body types. It should be avoided if you are petite or curvy!

The travel bag

Last but not least: the travel bag! A staple of large volume bags, the travel bag historically took the form of heavy trunks (wood, metal, bronze). From World War II onwards, they became lighter to turn into more manageable suitcases; the democratization of air travel confirmed the usefulness of lightweight luggage that conforms to the dimensions of holds and cabins. Since then, the range of luggage has continued to grow: everyone has their own luggage according to their tastes and needs!

While the suitcase is ideal for long excursions with its wheels, the travel bag stands out with its chic design and its ability to be carried by hand or over the shoulder. Perfect for a romantic getaway or a weekend with friends, the travel bag combines advantages thanks to its multiple compartments, numerous interior and exterior pockets, and its large central opening for easily organizing your belongings.

Our tip: choose your travel bag in a water-repellent material, such as nylon, to protect your belongings in case of bad weather!
