9 Best Handbag Trends for Fall 2020
This fall, handbags have definitely taken an interesting turn. Designers have gone all out with new and fresh ideas as well as new takes on classic handbag designs. There really is something for everyone!
Fall 2019 was all about snakeskin and while that’s still relevant, this year we’re looking more at quilted leather in rich earth tones. You’ll see Chanel, Gucci, Tory Burch, and department store brands offering similar quilted bags, with options for every budget. I personally like to shop more affordable luxury brands like Tory Burch, Kate Spade, Michael Kors, and Coach. with an occasional splurge on a more luxe designer bag. Satchels are always trending because of their practicality, but saddle bags and hobos are also really hot this season. More structured bags (lady like) with convertible straps that can be carried by either a top handle or a removable shoulder strap are something you’ll see everywhere. Large logo print bags in neutral colors are also trending for fall. Here are the top handbag trends and some of my picks for this seasons best bags at every price point (just keep scrolling)
Bags with Chain Detail
Croc Embossed Bags
The Ladylike Bag
Who doesn’t love a little something ladylike? Miu Miu, Dior and Erdem all showed classic pocketbook shapes on their Fall/Winter 2020 runways, using bold colors and fun materials to give the vintage-inspired style a modern upgrade.
Geometric Shapes
Geometric shapes have been gaining ground for a while, with numerous contemporary brands rolling out shoulder bags that are striking for their angular qualities. Some of these bags have a distinctly vintage vibe such as Dior’s sturdy tan snap-fastened varieties, or Paco Rabanne’s embellished bags. At Marc Jacobs, bright color ways gave styles a retro ’50s mood, and Jil Sander’s designs were more avant-garde.
The fall runways proved that striking shapes reminiscent of the ones you used to agonize over in school are now one of the most coveted handbag trends of the season. Featuring triangles, circles, and rectangles aplenty these shapes are shifting the scene and we're so ready for it. ~ Who, What Wear
