9 Bag Trends Taking Over This Fall

One of the key bag silhouettes of the mid-2010s — who could forget Mansur Gavriel's iconic design — bucket bags are making a long overdue comeback. Whether large and belted, retro and makeup-bag-inspired, or mini and structured, this season's designs come in all shapes and sizes.

For fall, handles are more than just a practical element. They're a statement, an extension of your jewelry collection that gives new meaning to going hands-free — and it only took for Chemena Kamali's debut collection for Chloé to cement bracelet bags as one of the key styles of the season.

This fall, bags are begging to be touched. Designers have embraced all things tactile, with fuzzy fabrics, fluttering feathers, and fabulous fringe taking center stage. These textured treasures add depth and dimension to any outfit, turning a simple errand run into a sensory experience.

Burgundy for fall might not be the most groundbreaking trend, and yet, this hue has already emerged as the undisputed star of the season. This rich, deep color adds a touch of old-world elegance to modern silhouettes, making it the perfect choice for those who want to elevate their look without going full-on festive.

The hobo bag is staging a triumphant return, and it's bringing '90s nostalgia along for the ride. These slouchy, crescent-shaped carryalls are the perfect blend of laid-back cool, and practical spaciousness. Updated for 2024 with luxe materials and refined details, the new hobo is less 'boho chic' and more 'effortlessly elegant.' It's the bag equivalent of your favorite oversized sweater – comfortable, chic, and capable of holding all your essentials — and then some.

Minimalism? We don't know her. This season, designers are embracing the 'why have one when you can have many' philosophy with bags that are accessorized to the max. Think dangling charms, swinging tassels, and enough hardware to set off metal detectors. It's excess in the best way possible — because sometimes, subtlety is overrated.

Who says high fashion can't be practical? With a nod to Y2K style and a wink at workwear, fall 2024 is all about the rise of cargo-inspired bags, complete with multiple pockets and utilitarian details. These bags are perfect for the organizationally challenged among us, offering a place for everything from your phone to your lip gloss to that random receipt you're sure you'll need someday.

Olive green bags offer a fresh alternative to traditional autumnal shades. This versatile hue pairs effortlessly with everything from bold prints to muted tones, making it the perfect choice for the fashion-forward minimalist. Whether it's a structured olive tote or a soft suede pochette, this color adds a touch of understated sophistication to any ensemble.

While the FW24 runways were full of new ideas, a handful of designers also chose to highlight some of their bestselling styles, from Gucci's Jackie to Prada's Gallerie and The Row's Margaux. You know the saying: if it's not broken, don't fix it.
