While we definitely don't need a new bag [1] every few months, that tiny fact doesn't stop us from wanting one. There's just something about carrying the latest It style that gives us a thrill like no other, but while our bag habit can get a tad pricey, a new accessory trend could potentially solve that dilemma. Removeable guitar straps have been flooding our favorite stores, and the Spring '17 runway [2] is hinting that this little — and more affordable — extra is here to stay. Just add a cute embellished option to your old satchel or tote and voilà: it's instantly revamped and ready to rock.
Scroll through for proof that this small swap is next big thing, then shop a strap for yourself, ASAP.
Straps Are Being Spotted All Over the Runway
