Themes of practicality and made-for-real-life dressing dominated the fall ready-to-wear collections, and the fall 2024 handbag trends of the season were no different. While you can still find personality in the season’s defining styles, there are a few common denominators like wearability and versatility that make these new season silhouettes a worthy investment. Speaking of good investments, one surprising trend that surfaced was in fact not quite a trend at all.
Designers positioned a handful of bestselling styles alongside their new collection presentations: Gucci showed a Jackie, Prada a Cleo and Galleria, and to no one’s surprise, The Row featured a Margaux tote in its fall 2024 collection lookbook. Vogue ’s Must-Have Bags for Fall 2024: For those looking for newer styles, there’s something on every end of the spectrum, from overtly practical to kitschy and fun. On the more blatantly obvious side, were utility pocket-adorned cargo bags at Acne Studios, Chanel, and Chloe.
Practicality at its finest! More subtle options came by way of a new cylindrical shape of shoulder bags from covetable brands like Alaia, Staud, and Khaite. It bag alert ! We would be remiss to not mention the return of bohemian dressing on the runways this season, which has given us a selection of extra-large shoulder bags to thrown on over your fall wears from Chloé to Bottega Veneta. From bags dripping in charms and keychains à la Balenciaga and Miu Miu to decorative wristlets at Gabriela .
