Tips for the perfect Dirndl bag
You’ve found the perfect Dirndl? Great – but your look isn’t complete without the right bag! As an accessory, the handbag is the perfect finishing touch for any outfit – and that includes your Dirndl. Whether for everyday wear, the Wiesn, or the next mountain party, your choice of handbag personalizes your Dirndl and defines your style. Find out which handbag types are available and how to combine them perfectly.
Which handbag suits a Dirndl?
An accessory is considered an addition and a perfect complement to any outfit. Especially the handbag not only fulfills a practical purpose but can also serve as a true eye-catcher. Depending on the style of the bag, your Dirndl look can be individually styled. The various designs give the Dirndl that certain something and underline its style.
With the variety of designs, you have plenty of choices depending on whether you prefer something casual, sporty, or elegant. In general, there are four common styles:
“All-time favorites” are still subtle designs. They are versatile and can easily be combined with almost any Dirndl. Whether for daily wear with a simple Dirndl or for special occasions with an elaborately embroidered one – which look will you choose?
Traditional handbags for every occasion
Classic and subtle traditional handbags can be ideally matched with any Dirndl. Leather models are durable and can handle any party. They impress with their compact design and still offer enough space for all the essentials.
Those who love detail will enjoy bags adorned with delicate embellishments like edelweiss, hearts, or ornaments – small accents that turn even classic handbags into eye-catchers. To create a harmonious look with your Dirndl, coordinate the bag’s color with either the top or skirt of your outfit. If you don’t want a matching color, neutral tones like black, brown, beige, or grey are excellent options. Bags in these colors are true all-rounders and go with any Dirndl.
Turn heads with these bags
Love a bold and playful style and enjoy standing out at the Wiesn? With trendy traditional bags in eye-catching and fun designs, you’re sure to shine. Bright colors and extravagant decorations help you make a statement.
Just one thing: if you go for a showstopper handbag, your Dirndl should be chosen accordingly. Since the bag is already the main highlight, it's best paired with a plain Dirndl. Make sure the color of the bag appears in your Dirndl or go for a neutral-colored Dirndl.
Elegant in traditional style
Got a formal event but don’t want to skip the Dirndl? No problem. A festive Dirndl combined with the right traditional bag creates a perfectly elegant look.
Elegant traditional bags come in a variety of materials. Velvet or satin styles look especially refined. Embellishments like charivaris or satin cords as shoulder straps make them extra classy.
Leather models with golden accents or glossy chain straps offer a luxurious touch. For a stylish Wiesn appearance, these elegant bags are also a great pick – even with a subtle Dirndl, they’ll give you that glam factor.
Alternatives to traditional handbags
Don’t like handbags while dancing? Not a fan of traditional bags? No worries – there are alternatives. If you’re only carrying a phone and some cash, go for a Dirndl with skirt pockets. They’re perfect for concealed storage and are cleverly hidden under the apron. But heads-up – not all Dirndl brands offer skirt pockets. Brands like Alpentrachten and Krüger Dirndl almost always include two skirt pockets.
As you can see, the different styles can be freely combined – and help you shine in any Dirndl. With these tips, you’ll have no trouble finding the perfect bag to match your Dirndl. From now on, nothing stands in the way of your flawless entrance – whether at the Wiesn or in everyday life. Go rock that look, Madl!
