It’s hard not to think of Miranda Priestly’s iconic Devil Wears Prada monologue about how runway looks trickle down into everyday closets when looking at this season’s trends. One day it’s a high-concept runway moment, the next, it’s part of your group chat’s fit check selfies. Whether it’s the soft surge of purple that’s suddenly everywhere or the surprising resurrection of polka dots, spring 2025 is serving up statement after statement—and bags are no exception.
This season, handbags are getting bigger—both literally and figuratively. A mix of silhouettes, materials, and textures came down the catwalk, and while they all differed in their own way, the one overwhelming theme was how personal the accessories are meant to feel. Yes, these are statement-makers, but whether your unique style leans boho or you’re a throw-everything-in tote type, spring’s bag trends are all about wearability.
From slouchy oversized clutches that Carrie Bradshaw herself has approved to structured East-West bags that add a touch of elegance to any look, there’s a bag to match every mood and style.

To some, the oversized clutch might be polarizing, but for those of us who need to fit our entire life into a bag, it’s finally our time to shine. Coach’s nostalgic slouch kisslock bag is a fun and whimsical way to wear this season’s trend (count Sarah Jessica Parker as a fan). And if you’re looking for something that feels a bit more polished and sophisticated, turn to inspo from Bottega and Rokh.

Don’t you love it when your accessories have accessories? On the runways at Prada, Miu Miu, and Tibi, belted bags pleaded their case to be your new spring bag. Well, the jury’s in, and we’re sold. These beauties are both functional and a fun way to make your purse lineup feel a bit more elevated and chic.

There’s something about fringe, woven details, and seashells that instantly transport you to the carefree spirit of spring. Think woven purses as displayed at Bottega that double as the perfect beach bag, edgy fringe and metallic accents like at Valentino, or bags embellished with seashells, as showcased by Chloe. With these accessories, you can carry a piece of bohemian bliss wherever you go.

Alaïa’s Le Teckel bag ignited the east-west bag revival, and the spring/summer runways made it official. With their long tubular straps and rectangular bodies, these purses are easy to carry and give a wearable art type of oomph to them wherever you go. Keep it sleek like Prada, or add some bag charms like Stella McCartney.
