The Top 10 Fall 2024 Handbag Trends to Have on Your Radar

If you’re like us, you probably have some go-to staples you turn to every fall, like a favorite pair of denim, a trusty leather jacket, or some statement-making tall boots. That being said, the arrival of fashion’s favorite season makes a compelling argument for refreshing your style, and one of the easiest ways to do that is via a new handbag. Whether you go with an affordable it-bag brand, a classic designer label, or another option, fall 2024 is full of statement-making trends—from slouchy silhouettes to elevated bucket bags to on-trend shades galore. Read on for the top 10 fall handbag trends to try this year, complete with product picks to shop.

Shades of Green

Thanks to Brat summer, green has become one of the moment’s hottest shades and seems certain to stick around this fall. Instead of just lime green, though, we’re also expecting to see other variations of the hue, especially when it comes to handbags in all shapes and sizes. From deeper forest and emerald greens to an abundance of sage, all it takes is a bit of green to make your ensembles really pop this season.

Slouchy Handbags

Some days call for larger-than-life handbags. When a shoulder bag simply won’t cut it, we’re on board with the resurgence of bigger, slouchier silhouettes, which remind us of the Olsen twins as well as countless late-aughts style icons. You can keep things relatively simple here color-wise by going for neutrals, or you can venture into statement territory with a metallic style.

Camera-Ready Bags

Remember a few years back when it felt like ultra-tiny, minimally practical bags were everywhere? A handful of these styles are set to come back this fall, in the spirit of occasion-specific dressing and making statements with social media impact in mind. While most of these decidedly don’t hold all the essentials, they might just be worth the hassle for all the compliments you’re sure to get on your night out.

Cherry Red

Red handbags have been all the rage since last fall, and we’re expecting rich shades of cherry and oxblood to dominate this season. From tiny shoulder bags to totes, crossbodies, and more, this deeper-than-an-apple shade is going to be an it-girl favorite all season long. Whether you make it the focal piece of your outfit or go maximalist, cherry red balances statement-making potential with easy wearability, making it an easy choice for all your fall fashion needs.

Denim Details

We’ve always had an appreciation for the Canadian tuxedo (a.k.a. wearing denim on denim), and if you, too, are a fan, try throwing a denim bag into the mix. Whether you style it with a full-on denim look or take another route, it’s hard to go wrong here as this material is ultra–versatile and acts as a neutral that looks incredible with all sorts of outfit pairings.

Furry Textures

Don’t underestimate the power of texture to take your fall handbag game to the next level, such as via the fur-forward trend that’s about to pop up everywhere. From faux fur to teddy, shearling, and more, anything that’s “furry” in a neutral hue is sure to be a hit this season.

Mini Trunks

There’s nothing we love more than a trunk moment, and while they may seem like a piece of luxury reserved for the elite, we’re here to tell you it’s officially hit the mainstream in the form of mini trunk handbags. While you can go luxe if you choose (as Taylor Swift does above with a Louis Vuitton style), we’ve sourced some stunners that are a bit more budget-friendly, as well.

Elevated Bucket Bags

If you’ve been eyeing a bucket bag and have yet to take the leap, take this as your sign to invest in one of 2024’s biggest handbag trends. One of fall’s key players is going to be unexpected, elevated takes on the bucket silhouette: From unique drawstrings to picnic basket-inspired variations, this trend is definitely here to stay.

Butter Yellow Hues

Butter yellow has completely taken over the fashion scene, so it should come as no surprise that it’s sticking around for the fall. Typically most popular during the spring, this shade has the versatility to work all year round. Whether you prefer dainty shoulder bags or a touch of unique hardware, we’ve linked a few of our faves to help you find your ideal match.

Acrylic Clutches

For a fall handbag trend that leans more towards the artsy side, allow us to introduce you to acrylic clutches. These bags can be pretty fragile, but if you handle them with care, you’re going to look and feel like a style icon. From unique silhouettes to funky textures and more, anything acrylic has our stamp of approval this fall.
