It's Official: Big Bags Are in This Season—Shop Our Current Faves
"Bigger is better" is seemingly the motto when it comes to handbags this season. As much as we enjoyed every last bit of carrying itty-bitty micro-bags over the last few years, luxury designers are thinking big again with supersized purses. Louis Vuitton, Bottega Veneta, and Chloe were just some of the few fashion houses that sent reimagined jumbo silhouettes down the runways during Spring/Summer 2023, and now It-Girls around the globe are catching on to the trend. Everywhere you look on the streets or scroll on social media, there's an influencer or a stylish star lugging around a Mary Poppins-esque style.
The reintroduction of big bags into the trend cycle makes sense when you think about it: they're practical in that they can basically hold everything under the sun, convenient as heck, and reliable when you're on the go. Oh and if you're traveling? Even better—they make great personal item bags. All of this to say: this is one spring fashion trend we're expecting to stick around for a while. From leather totes to raffia hobos to beach bags, here are our favorite big bags to carry now and forever.
