Spring 2024: The biggest bag trends to shop now

If Tom Wambsgan of Succession thought that moderately-sized Burberry crossbody tote was “ludicrously capacious,” we’ll be curious to hear what he has to say on what was coming on the spring 2024 runways. With practicality becoming a primary factor for bags in recent years, this season’s offerings saw oodles of gargantuan carryalls in various styles from countless labels, including Bottega Veneta, Loewe, Schiaparelli, and Givenchy, to name a few.

On the flip side, mini bags aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. From mini versions of classic signatures to micro bags that provide just enough space for a couple of loose changes, tiny arm candies were spotted on the runways of Chanel, Staud, Versace, Fendi, and Schiaparelli.

Contrary to the one-size-fits-all convenience of giant bags, sometimes all we need is something that’s big enough to fit a phone and/or a lipstick for nights out. Other times, a bag is just an accessory that adds the perfect final touch to an outfit.

Bucket bags are officially back, and they’re better than ever. Originally designed by Louis Vuitton in 1932 as a champagne carrier, the jet-setter bag has taken on various innovative silhouettes throughout the years, but its recent reinterpretations were exceptionally phenomenal. For spring 2024, Bottega Veneta, Loewe, Ferragamo, Miu Miu, Jil Sander, and Chloé all sent their adaptations down the runway, each different from the other.

And when we thought we had seen enough of cargo trousers in the past year, the pocket invasion has now spread into the bag realm—and we love to see it! Fendi led the pack with its multi-pocket Baguettes from resort 2023, followed by houses like Miu Miu, Acne Studios, Simone Rocha, 16Arlington, and Max Mara. With multiple compartments to house all your essentials in an organised fashion, these multi-pocket carryalls are the ultimate daily style companion.

The thing about simplicity is that it goes a long way—case in point: clutches. Whether you’re heading to brunch with your friends, a date at a fancy restaurant, or a business meeting in town, the versatility of a sleek clutch will effortlessly complement any look with a refined touch.

As the quiet luxury trend continues to reign supreme in the fashion world, it’s no surprise that clutch bags have made a comeback in recent seasons. These classic bags were especially prevalent on the spring 2024 runways, with the likes of Tom Ford, Dries Van Noten, Chloé, Max Mara, and Altuzarra presenting their takes.
