10 Winter 2022 Bag Trends to Start Shopping Now

When a new season like fall arrives, it’s easy to think about trading in your swimsuits for base layers or your kitten heels for knee-high boots. And while you may not rush to replace your purse the moment the weather hits 60 degrees, there are tons of winter 2022 bag trends to start considering.

“I think one of the biggest seasonal changes will be in textures and overall styling and usage of handbags,” says sustainability-first stylist Cassandra Dittmer. “Trends will shift from the rattans to mixed media, chunkier hardware, faux furs and shearlings, and more substantial sizing and architecture.”

Handbag trends tend to move a little slower, making them great investment pieces. In fact, stylist Seppe Tirabassi says he’s most excited about variations of existing trends we’ve seen in recent seasons, like the crescent bag and the ever-stylish mini. Still, there’s a lot of newness to get excited about. Ahead, find 10 of the biggest handbag trends for winter 2022, plus the exact stylist-approved bags to shop now.
