OK, for those still on the sidelines about this controversial big cat motif, let us remind you about that time our Head of Content, Eliza Sorman-Nilsson, wrote about the many, many compliments she got while wearing a $40 leopard print set from Big W. The people went crazy for it! 

And it doesn't look like this trend is dying down anytime soon, because the next it-girl bag to buy is — you guessed it! — a leopard print one. 

Seen on runways, streets, social media and in the glossy pages of magazines, this 'loud bag' is celebrating its moment in the spotlight. 

But while a leopard print bag is certainly a statement piece, it's surprisingly versatile and easy to wear. From casual weekend outfits to dressed-up looks and office attire, you can pair a leopard print bag with pretty much any ensemble and instantly look a little more put together.
