The It Bags of 2025: This year’s most covetable designer handbags

Tod’s has refreshed its classic T Timeless collection with fresh shapes and innovative styles. The new T Timeless APA Bauletto is a strong continuation of the legacy range—structured yet relaxed with clean, minimalist lines—it’s built for daily use but still polished enough for a more dressed-up setting.

McQueen unveils its spring-summer 2025 campaign with the McQueen T-Bar Sling bag, each handcrafted from a single piece of textured calf leather. The signature asymmetrical bag is detailed with a statement T-Bar buckle and complete with tonal fringed leather for a decidedly modern silhouette. Available in two fresh hues for spring-summer 2025: Sky Blue and Cloud grey.

Fendi has revived the Mamma Baguette, giving it a fresh feel without overplaying nostalgia. While retaining the beloved bag’s original codes, the reimagined version is softer, more tactile, and boasts a relaxed drawstring closure.

Loewe adds to its collection of signature bags with the Madrid, a soft trapezoid purse named after the maison’s founding city. Crafted from sumptuous calfskin leather, the Madrid features delicate pleated sides and a sleek magnetic fastening with a jewel-like gold Pebble. Available in three sizes and four colourways: black, dark burgundy, olive and burnt red.

Chanel’s latest release is a variation of the emblematic bags of the house. With brand ambassador Dua Lipa fronting the campaign, the Chanel 25 revisits iconic codes such as quilting, interlaced chains, and multiple pockets in a bold yet carefree manner. Flexible, lightweight, and available in three sizes—it combines comfort and elegance with the ultimate sense of practicality.

The new Bobbin bag by Loro Piana is named for and pays tribute to the spool that holds yarn, an intrinsic part of the maison’s rich fabric-making heritage. The relaxed half-moon shoulder bag features a polished toggle closure and sophisticated contrast panelling—perfect for everyday sophistication.

Dior introduces a sleek addition to its collection with the Toujours Vertical Tote, an icon reimagined in an unprecedented elongated form. With its clean lines, structured shape, and house macrocannage motif, this piece transitions effortlessly from day to evening.

Bottega Veneta introduces the Ciao Ciao, a sleek, contemporary purse designed for versatility and those on the go. Comprising timeless knot features from the Andiamo family, Ciao Ciao maintains a minimalist aesthetic while providing a spacious interior. Available in neutral tones and bold seasonal hues.

Loewe adds to its signature Puzzle family with an ultra-lightweight construction to mark its tenth anniversary, making the Featherlight Puzzle a standout piece for 2025. The geometric lines and cuboid shape remain but are crafted with innovative featherlight nappa lambskin, creating the lightest and softest iteration of the iconic Loewe bag to date.

Fresh off the spring-summer 2025 runway presentation, the LV Biker is Louis Vuitton’s latest statement bag inspired by classic biker jackets. Drawing on the maison’s rich trunk-making heritage, the LV Biker explores the intersection of structure and suppleness through an east-west silhouette.

Fendi reinterprets its classic Peekaboo bag with a more fluid, relaxed structure. The Peekaboo Soft Small retains its dual-compartment design but features a supple leather construction for a more effortless feel. It comes in a range of colours in leather, spanning from timeless neutrals to vibrant spring-inspired hues. Our pick? The seasonal version adorned with 468 fringes, echoing predictions of a boho renaissance.

Chloé presents an elevated take on the hobo bag trend with a sculptural, rounded form with two-toned rings and a striking metal bracelet handle. Crafted from shiny grained calfskin, it drapes beautifully while maintaining a distinctive structure, offering both style and practicality for daily use.

Prada’s new Donna Buckle bucket bag merges signature minimalism with bold hardware accents. The curved silhouette, polished leather, and unique buckle closure create a striking look while maintaining a sophisticated sensibility. Designed with both aesthetics and practicality in mind, it’s a versatile must-have piece for those on the go.

Ralph Lauren’s newest calfskin shoulder bag embodies the brand’s legacy of refined craftsmanship. Its structured design and smooth leather finish are reminiscent of a vintage steering wheel, and each bag boasts a hand-carved burl-wood and metal handle, ensuring every piece is one-of-a-kind.
