From essential wicker bags to oversized clutches, and from the disorganized appeal of stuffed bags to soft, shapeless silhouettes, we've explored the most popular bag trends for 2024. Reds, crystals, and metallics continue to be favorites each season.

A new season brings new trends and a refreshed wardrobe! While bags are often staples we grow attached to, adding a few seasonal pieces to our collection is a fun and stylish way to update and elevate our look. Accessories, in particular, offer a playful and risk-free way to experiment with our style.

This season's bag trends present a rich array of styles, emphasizing variety, functionality, originality, and creativity. Traditional spring/summer staple wicker bags are back with more sophisticated designs, while changing sizes and silhouettes transform bags into fashion statements. From classic designs to bold, dramatic forms, and from minimalism to exaggerated details, this season’s bags cater to every taste, reflecting the fresh and vibrant spirit of spring.

Stuffed to the Brim

If you're tired of the recent trend towards quiet luxury and clean, orderly aesthetics, and crave a bit of chaos and excess, this trend will excite you! Inspired by Jane Birkin's famously overstuffed basket bags, these bags exude a carefree attitude and rebellion against the serene and orderly. Featured on runways from Miu Miu, Bottega Veneta, Hermès, to Balenciaga, these bags reflect the chaos of daily life, emphasizing that bags are still meant to be used. These well-worn, lived-in bags are all too familiar—after all, aren’t our bags always a bit too messy?

Oversized

Oversized bags, a favorite for the past few seasons, remain a staple on the fashion scene for spring/summer. Dominating the collections of major fashion houses like Ferragamo, Loewe, Victoria Beckham, Balenciaga, Prada, and The Row, these bags combine elegance and functionality in the most striking way. Symbolizing powerful style and confidence, oversized bags are set to be standout pieces this summer, embracing excess and boldness.

Soft Forms

Rigid, boxy bags are taking a backseat this season as larger bags become softer, lighter, and almost shapeless. From pillow-like clutches and large totes to shoulder bags, the ‘formless’ bags seen on runways from Dries Van Noten, Acne Studios, The Row, to Loewe, epitomize effortless and relaxed chic.

Double Bags

What’s better than one bag? Two bags! Spring runways clearly advocate that more is better, with practicality and a touch of disorganization reigning supreme. Adding a second, or even a third bag as seen on Versace runways, not only serves as a fashion statement but also enhances functionality. Ease of carrying is just one of the many reasons to embrace this trend!

Clutches

Is every bag a clutch if carried that way? Clutch bags, which have made a comeback over the past few seasons, are now among the most versatile styles on the runways. From the elegant and structured clutches by Tom Ford, Max Mara, and Chloé, to the transparent versions by Tory Burch, there’s a clutch for every hour, occasion, and outfit. Brands like The Row, Victoria Beckham, Ferragamo, and 16Arlington offer oversized, slouchy clutches, while Fendi and Brandon Maxwell feature handle-equipped, folded-looking models, making clutches one of the season’s must-have items.

Wicker and Raffia

Wicker and raffia bags are hardly a surprise for the spring/summer season. Despite being a staple for warm weather, they continue to excite with new designs every season. From Carven’s market bag-inspired design to Gabriela Hearst’s fringe-tipped tote, Loewe’s chain-detailed hand bag to Chanel and Valentino’s leather strap additions, there’s a wide variety of wicker bags to choose from, suiting your personal style perfectly.

Chain Details

Chain handles and details are one of the season’s most nostalgic trends, taking us back to various eras. From Tom Ford’s '70s-inspired chain-handled shoulder bags to Rabanne’s signature chain-strap bags made of metal discs, and Loewe’s iconic Squeeze bag with small chain details to Givenchy’s chain-handled envelope bags, these elements, though modernized, retain their classic appeal.
