7 Fire Handbag Trends We’re Tapping Into This Season
You can tell a lot about a woman by the bag that she carries.
Much like the spaces we live in, taking stock of what you’ve been using to make your way about the world can be a pretty accurate indicator of where your headspace is.
Are you on the move and reaching for a hands-free crossbody that lets you move freely?
Piling everything into one huge tote and constantly looking for keys (but also being ready for literally anything life throws at you?)
Or are you somewhere in-between? Going for a chic shoulder bag to make it to that exhibit you keep hearing about?
Wherever you lie on the spectrum, it’s time to check-in to see if you actually like what you’ve been lugging around. If you’re on the market for something new and fresh, you already know Black designers delivered the goods and we’ve done the work to find them.
We’ve rounded up some trending handbags by Black-owned brands that’ll also stand the test of time for the win-win bag update you didn’t know you needed.

The Puffer
There’s something so effortlessly cool about the puff bag trend. It gives “I’m hip and I know how to pull off pretty much anything.” We’re pretty much dreaming about this Telfar tote and waiting for the second drop which is coming November 1st (insert googly eye emoji) and this Sincerely Tommy option is not only cost-effective but super cute for a run to the store or a chill night out with the girls.

The Shearling
Shearling, like pretty much every other classically cozy material out there (looking at you Cashmere) is having a moment. Anything that gives us warm, comfy vibes is a winner and this sentiment carries over to our bags. Brandon Blackwood gives us fuzzy yet structured option while Brother Vellies delivers a stunning investment piece complete with a Yin Yang symbol (which is also very on trend).

Croc-Embossed
Let’s talk about the automatic sophistication of a croc-effect bag, Sis. It’s one of those prints that never really goes out of style. Your mom and grandma will understand and nod with approval and your girlfriends will want to copy. It’s giving timeless and au courant. Mateo’s gorgeous green take on this trend is everything we could have hoped for while

The Phone Bag
One time for no-fuss, no-hands bags that carry everything you absolutely need and nothing more. We can’t help but to stan. ASHYA is famous for its gorgeous bolo bags that carry everything from your phone to your passport, while this white, fringe Ree Projects pouch is sure to be your best friend on your next night out to the bar with your girls.

Bold Buckles
It’s really all in the details when it comes to bold buckles. These stunners were already solid, stand-out bags in their own right but adding that bold buckle takes things to new heights. Brother Vellies comes through with a classic shoulder bag silhouette, the previously mentioned, super on-trend snake print and wooden, looped buckles for a knock-out purse. EDAS is giving us major cool-girl vibes with this structured body, and it’s oversized turtoise buckle. We stan.

The Baguette
Ah, the baguette. It delivers the early aughts vibe you didn’t know you were missing. Tony Childs and Joan Clayton would certainly approve and there are so many ways to nail this trend. This classic tan EDAS bag will pair perfectly with your wide-legged jeans, ankle boots and trench while this super fun cow-print Rooper bag will add a pop to pretty much any outfit.

Python Print
The python print — yet another classic theme that’s making it’s way back into our wardrobes in full force. We love the fun colorful plays that Joel Lani and Anima Iris deliver with these forest green and turquise options. Either of these beauties are sure to play up a neutral look and give a chic and sophisticated pop of color.
