| Thom Browne circular shoulder bag in red, white, black leather $1245 More info/purchase |
There’s no question that the old adage “what goes around comes around” applies to fashion, which is nothing, if not cyclical. Yes, it all comes back but contrary to what many think or say, new is not always improved; sometimes, the original was far better! But regardless, that’s not the only area of fashion where the word ‘round’ applies. It’s been hard not to notice a plethora of round, circular shaped bags in the market, and I’ve become somewhat obsessed because of the sheer variety. Here’s a ’round’ up (wink wink) of some of my favorites (a few are even on sale).

While I have focused on bags, there are also several notable circle printed items worth a mention:

From the way I see it, it’s hip to be round!
