News flash: Subtlety is out. At least when it comes to purses. Our bags are going to be making major statements this fall. The fashion gods have decided we're saying goodbye to quiet luxury—at least for a lil bit—and we're making the glam loud and proud. But also v cool and unexpected! Let me explain (and also convince you that you absolutely need to find a way to make these trends work in your closet).

This season, we saw the return of east-to-west bags (more on that later), wristlets (remember those?!), and we're getting a lil indulgent with metal-handle bags (just you wait and see). Also on the runways, across fashion, shoes, and bags? Leopard print and lots of it. Bags are not only the perfect investment piece if you want to up any outfit, but they are a v important aspect of one's personal style. What you carry speaks to who you are, ya know? And allows you to get experimental without a whole outfit level of commitment—just dipping your toes in, you know? So I went ahead and rounded up the best trends for you. Scroll to find your new It Bag.

East to West Bags

The east-to-west bag (essentially a long, rectangle shaped bag) is having a resurgence this season. These bags were everywhere on the runways, from Proenza to Gucci.

Metal Grips

This season, it is all about metal details in our handles. In particular, we're going circular with the silhouette. I had my sights on them, especially watching the Alaia and Chloe shows.

Leopard Print Designs

Leopard print is a prominent trend for both clothing and accessories for fall 2024. And, don't forget, it can really be paired with anything—it IS a neutral, after all!

Wristlets

Remember these from the early aughts? Well, they're back. And, looks like the new take on them means we've got ourselves a practical bag for a night out! I, for one, am very excited for this comeback story.

Travel Bags

Oversized duffles are the perf travel bag. This season, it is about finding the best one in different colors or with cool details, like grommets. Oh, we're also v into adding bag charms in general right now, so maybe stock up on a few? They add so much personality!
