There's something about a crescent-shaped bag that just seems to scratch an itch in our little fashion-forward brains these days. Softer than a classic rectangular or square bag, and less cute than a fully circular bag, the half-moon or crescent shaped bag has been taking over our feeds for the better half of the year, and we're jumping aboard! There is a slouchiness that a half-moon shape lends to its silhouette, offering a slightly more relaxed feel to things, plus with Y2K style very much back in and here to stay, we can hardly be blamed for returning to the nostalgic shape.

It seems half-moon shaped bags' sales are up, and whether you're into a structured semi-circle shape or a slouchy hobo, we're rounding up our favourite selects for the crescent bag trend, below.
