👀 What's the Vibe?


📦 1. Bags are having a main character moment


Over 80% of the top 10 products are bags. That's not just a trend, it's a lifestyle. From slouchy totes to metallic moon bags, students are clearly after styles that are both practical and polished. The recurring themes? Big enough to carry your life, and cute enough to flex on the 'gram.


✨ 2. Metallic = the new neutral


Several of the bestsellers have metallic accents — from the Cesia Shoulder Bag to the Leslie Slingbacks. Whether it's a silver buckle or full-on sheen, students are loving a little flash. It's giving quiet luxury meets campus core.


💼 3. Mary Janes and slingbacks are the shoe crushes of the year


While bags dominate, two sleek shoes made the list: Mary Jane flats with satin bows, and slingback pumps with metallic accents. It's a solid nod to vintage-meets-modern styling — comfy enough for all-day wear, cute enough to wear on a date (with someone or with yourself, we don't judge).
