From chic hardware to sculptural designs and the one shape everyone is clamoring for, these are the bags you’ll want to add to your fall/winter wardrobe.
What’s the most thrilling aspect of fall’s hottest handbag trends? Without question, it’s that there’s truly a bag for every personality, style and occasion. From the mini bag in a bright hue that you’ll carry to Sunday brunch to the extra-large tote that stores everything you need Monday through Friday, the latest designs blend fashion and function beautifully.
But it’s the details that elevate the season’s best designer bags to must-have status. Whether you’re seeking fall’s most coveted shapes, irresistible statement handles or textures that are wonderfully tactile, the newest standout pieces transcend the idea of “accessory” to become the key element around which to build a stylish look.
With that in mind, we selected five of fall’s hottest trends and a trio of the latest offerings from each to ensure your handbag game is on point this season.
If there’s one shape that’s dominating fall handbag styles, it’s the crescent bag, the curved, chicly simple design that’s either easily carried or fits comfortably on your shoulder. With micro bags hotter than ever, the crescent-shaped mini is the season’s most sought-after accessory.
Several handbag designers opted for unique metal treatments this season, from the hefty chain handles that have been dominating recent designs to sculptural handles and other artful details. Whether you’re seeking a bag that feels a bit edgy and biker-esque or a piece that evokes a sleek, minimalist vibe — or perhaps a lush metal fringe that adds a swish to an evening look, each feels wholly modern while adding a touch of subtle shine.
Many of the season’s best top-handle totes seem to be on steroids, as designers adopt an oversized approach that not only ensures your daily needs can be carried with ease, but they also make a grand statement of luxurious scale. Details are also key, from handle treatments to a multitude of pockets or styling that also results in a bag that’s ultra-light, ensuring you look chic and not weighted down.
Sculpted details are also mega-hot this season, offered in a variety of treatments. A day bag might take on an unusual shape that feels thoroughly new, especially when it’s combined with a brilliant hue, while a small sculptural detail also can transform a bag from simple to sensational. For evening, it’s all about unique shapes in minaudières that create an entrance-making statement.
Shearlings, faux furs and other plush treatments continue to rank high among sought-after bags during the fall/winter season, yet they’re far from alone in the latest textured handbags. Crocodile, either genuine or crafted from an embossed leather, is also hot, especially in top-handle styles that also boast classic structure. Whether you love the touch of shearling or the instant elegance of an exotic texture, a tactile bag is ideal when you want to instantly communicate luxury.
