Join us on a journey through the captivating bag trends of 2024.

Bid farewell to bag dilemmas – 2024 is all about big designer bags. Bottega Veneta's slouchy carryalls and The Row’s oversized shoulder bags stole the show. Practicality reigns supreme, making it a season of larger-than-life styles. No more fuss with tiny purses; this year, it's all about bigger shoulder bags, leaving crossbody silhouettes behind. Extra points for effortlessly tucking it under your arm.

Soft slouchy bags take the spotlight this season, marking a Serena van der Woodsen-like comeback. These cool, roomy bags become a staple for the on-the-go look on the spring/summer 2024 runways, exemplified by Miu Miu and Bottega Veneta. Soft leathers, especially suede, are predicted to shine in 2024. Carrying your bag under one arm is now a coveted look, seen on runways where roomy everyday bags are casually clutched under arms – proof that it's not just about the bag, but how you carry it.

Red continues its reign as the standout shade, seamlessly transitioning from 2023 into the next year. Countless eye-catching handbags in fiery burgundy hues have made a lasting impression. Celebrities are embracing the "pop of red" styling trick, infusing vibrant color into understated outfits. Following the viral success of burgundy Miu Miu heels and the red tights trend, burgundy bags are poised to be the next big thing. The timeless charm of this classy color makes it a day-to-night essential – imagine a full black outfit paired with a cherry red bag; it's perfection.

Practicality takes the spotlight once more with the ongoing Cargo trend making its way from popular cargo pants to bags in 2024. Embracing functionality, bag designs feature multiple compartments reminiscent of cargo pockets, detachable straps, and versatile styles seamlessly transitioning from business meetings to weekend getaways.

Designers are reshaping handbags into stylish accessories, introducing gold and silver handles for a jewelry-inspired touch. While not entirely new, chain details in 2024 exude refinement, showcasing delicate chains and elegant metallic finishes inspired by Celine, Loewe, and Louis Vuitton runways.

Summer 2024 welcomes the revival of crochet bags, a nostalgic trend from the '70s reimagined by designers in refreshing ways. What began with crocheted tops and dresses ruling the runways has now extended to the realm of accessories, with woven bags taking center stage. Woven accessories, ranging from structured basket bags to totes featuring a rope-like construction and touchable loose-knit textures.

Handbags break free from traditional shapes, venturing into sculptural and avant-garde designs. Designers are pushing boundaries by experimenting with unique shapes, moving beyond traditional considerations like color and material. From distorted proportions and imaginative objects to out-of-the-box designs, there's a playful exploration of shape and size that promises to extend well into the new year. These artistic creations serve as conversation starters, seamlessly blending with the understated minimalist aesthetic without redundancy.
