This shoulder bag is hailed as the 'hottest product' of the season

And it's less than P1,000

While many ditched fashion trends nowadays, with the power of social media and other technology featured in shopping apps, the internet can easily identify what consumers today are going crazy about. And if you’re as curious as we are about people’s shopping attitudes these days, fashion technology company and premium shopping app Lyst presents its “Fashion’s Hottest Brands and Products” report for the first quarter of 2023, and you’ll be surprised by what dominated its product list.  Uniqlo’s round mini shoulder bag
According to its index, which is based on its shopper’s behavior, including searches on and off platform, product views, and sales,” the hottest piece of the season is [Uniqlo’s round mini shoulder bag](https://www.uniqlo.com/ph/en/products/E457244-000?colorCode=COL12).
“Uniqlo’s shoulder bag is the hottest product of the quarter. Retailing at under $20, it’s the cheapest product to ever be featured in The Lyst Index,” the shopping app says. “After going viral on TikTok and generating over 59 million views on the platform, it sold out multiple times across multiple colorways.”
The unisex bag, currently priced at P790, is made of polyester and has a durable water-repellent finish and piping to maintain its shape. Its silhouette is made to fit the body for an activewear look and can carry a smartphone and wallet.

Following Uniqlo’s piece in the list are Rick Owens Kriester sunglasses, Skims’ sculpt bodysuit, [MSCHF’s Big Red Boots](https://mb.com.ph/2023/02/20/heres-what-you-need-to-know-about-andrea-brillantes-astro-boy-boots/) (recently worn by actress Andrea Brillantes), and Diesel’s denim maxi shirt. Completing the top 10 hottest products list are Bottega Veneta’s drop earrings, Adidas’ Gazelle sneakers, Weekday’s Astro loose baggy jeans, Alaia’s Le Coeur Bag, and MM6 Maison Margiela x Salomon Cross high sneakers, respectively.
