While I may have gone to a decent amount of fashion shows, and know what bag to carry if I’m on the run to catch the next show, concert bags are a whole different ball game.
As someone whose concert experiences have been fairly limited, you’d think just a sturdy bag would suffice, but according to a close friend and seasoned concert-goer, there are layers to it. Balcony seats at the opera have a different set of requirements than a mosh pit. You can’t think purely from an aesthetic point of view for these dos. So, when I shared my plan to carry my Balenciaga City bag for a Charli XCX concert with my friend, he scoffed. While for a small 500-people concert, a simple crossbody with your concert essentials like an energy bar and a power bank will suffice, for certain stadiums the norm is to carry clear bags due to security concerns.
But I am positive that for fashion girls, this does not have to be the death of good style. Your bag should stand testament to your personal codes of fashion without succumbing to the perils of practicality. Especially for a Charli XCX concert. For all the folks looking to invest in a good concert bag, we curated a Vogue-approved selection of concert bags that will service your needs.
