8 Major Handbag Trends We Simply Can't Get Enough Of

Handbags are perhaps a vital accessory of any ensemble — practically and aesthetically — regardless of the taste or style preferences. We've already had a preview of what's upcoming in fashion next season, thanks to the spring 2022 runway.

 

Like the return of box totes or some quirky additions like mini handbags, cushion clutches, and saddle handbags, we spent the past few days scrolling through our Instagram feeds to discover some top-notch collections. Whether it is structured shoulder bags for a boss-girl look or larger-than-life totes that will hold the gym essentials you need, this list has something for every woman.

 

Step into Summer with your brand-new sidekick, a.k.a. the hottest bag of the season. 

 

1. Baguette Swipe Leather Shoulder Bag

2. Bucket Bag

One for the bucket list this year is indeed the bucket bag. The classic silhouette made several appearances on the runway, and it's as practical as it is chic. Despite the compact appearance, most bucket bags are spacious inside, making them the perfect day-to-night bags.

3. Supersized Totes

Go big or go home is the case with this handbag trend. If you don't like to travel light, you're lucky; the supersized bag is back on the fashion radar. It can stash all your essentials, gym kits or waterproof jackets — everything.

4. Phone Bags

This season, designers have found a happy medium with phone bags—aka, a bag that fits a little more than your cell phone. Whether you're out running errands, walking the dog, or window shopping, these made-for-tech accessories allow you to go hands-free without sacrificing style. And unlike tiny bags, they fit your phone.

5. Crochet Style Bags

Crochet is a massive trend of 2022, so get this cute knitted bag. A sure-fire way to add some instant freshness to your look, this Bohemian style has got us dreaming of festivals and beach days. It's bold and eclectic with rainbow colours and fun fringing with a '70s twist. Keep the rest of your attire simple and sport it with baggy mom jeans, letting the bag take centre stage.

6. Fringe Style Bags

It's no secret that the '70s are back in a big way, and if you haven't adopted the grooviest season into your wardrobe yet, then we're suggesting you start with some fringe. Anything that moves with us fits right into our wardrobes. This trend is fun, flirty, and perfect for spring.

7. Duffle Bag

Spotted at the spring 2022 runways: a duffle bag is all one can talk about. Labels like Allen Solly and Calvin Klein have petite versions of your favourite weekenders and effectively make the silhouette excellent for everyday wear. Pair it with a cute floral dress and sneakers, and you are good to go!

8. XL Clutch

An oversized clutch can fit everything! And that's what a handful of this season's most trusted bag designers planned for spring/summer 2022. Surprisingly enough, these supersized purses aren't awkward or difficult to style. Instead, they're an exciting and eye-catching accessory to slip under your arm and add to any outfit.
