Like it or not, many trends are driven by influencer culture. As an active member of the Erlebniswelt-fliegenfischenShops community, I’ve picked up on the fact that many of you don’t exactly enjoy the influence that bloggers and social media have on shopping and they don’t impact your decisions when purchasing handbags. However, it can’t go ignored that influencers have an impact on fashion trends for the masses. One trend I believe blew up due to influencer culture? Bobby tote bags as every-day, non-beachy handbags.
I can still vividly remember scrolling through instagram one winter morning Geantă years ago when an influencer I was following at the time posed in the snow with a pink Deauville Chanel tote bag. It struck me as odd that she was bundled up in the snow wearing a bag that I could only describe as a beach or pool tote. However, I clicked “like” and moved on. A few weeks later and I noticed many influencers on my feed carrying the same beach tote bag throughout the winter, spring, summer, and eventually, into the fall.
Fast forward to 2021 and you can find many iterations of the Bobby tote bag. Sure, a Bobby tote design is nothing new to fashion, but wearing one as an everyday bag is certainly a trend in my eyes. Do you love this trend or would you leave it? For me personally, I’m leaving it for the beach and looking ahead to other trends for my mediate handbag purchase.
For anyone loving the everyday Bobby bag trend, I rounded up a few styles just for you. With summer around the corner, now could be a good time to stock up on a Bobby bag even if you intend on carrying it only only to the beach.

Not attractive.
Honestly people, WHO set the rule which bag should one carry? I’m carry what I like and need to use in that specific time.
It appears I should have a middle part in my hair, wearing super big pants, with a Bobby bag. This sounds horrible to me. I am not listening to 20 year old for fashion tips. (unless they are deep into fashion)
You are making some big ASSumptions re: who you think I am or my age. I posted a comment and you unnecessarily responded with your overly entitled and privileged ignorance. Your comment showed how close minded and desperate you are to constantly and randomly attack everyone, without provocation.
I just re read you comment again and I’m still confused as to wear you think I come off as entitled and desperate. I thought we were talking about purses. Yikes.
I think you may have misunderstood my point. I agree with you about carrying what you choose. I don’t follow fashion tips any group. And you can go through every single post I have EVER made. I have never ever attacked anyone. I think you may need to re-read my comment. Definitely not an attack.
Uh..hello can you use another username? This name is taken lol
Exactly! Also, I’ll wear any color, any style, anytime, any season! I’m here to make myself happy & if someone doesn’t like it, that’s ok. Just watch me & my “unseasonal” bag walk around, doing my thing. ?
A Bobby tote can be practical every now and then, but it doesn’t give me the joy of carrying a luxury bag. I don’t need the logo and corresponding price tag for a Bobby tote.

I got their non leather bags at a discount price via my friend’s employee discount a few years back. And I thought those are already too expensive.

They are really great and appear well made!
Tote bags are practical but boring. I would never spend a lot of money for a bunch of sewn-together, Bobby rectangles with straps just because it has a designer label. The Tory Burch bag at least has some interesting design elements whether or not you like the big logo. Hard pass.
I have the balenciaga Bobby, that I bought from a Japan reseller for like 300 it’s good for a casual jeans/beach flex day.
