The most exciting bag trends for Spring 2025 feature luxe textures, soft pastel hues, and sumptuous suede. Practical, durable bags made of canvas and structured leather are still mainstays, too—perfect for your daily commute.
Warm-weather textures like raffia are a big trend thanks to Chemena Kamali’s boho resurgence at Chloé, where raffia bags dominated the runway. Ralph Lauren and Bottega Veneta also showcased oversized raffia totes. “With warm temperatures on the horizon, raffia bags are a spring essential,” shares Rickie De Sole, VP, Fashion Director, Nordstrom with Bazaar. “Chloé’s soft raffia tote effortlessly transitions from the city to the beach, adding a hint of bohemian charm.” For those seeking more day-to-day utility, De Sole recommends Balenciaga’s City bag. It’s “a versatile bag that’s both practical and stylish, seamlessly combining function and fun.”
In this vein of stylish practicality, doctor bags are a key trend this year. Their structured, boxy shape hides whatever your work commute may require (spare flats, chargers, gym clothes, etc.), and the top handles make it easy to tote.
Belted bags are still going strong. Prada, Miu Miu, and Hermès all showcased bags in their spring ’25 collections that feature belt details—from literal belts looped around to smaller belt buckle details.
Then there’s the enduring East-West bag, which originated with Alaïa’s “Le Teckel” bags (the French term for “dachshund” in English)—a cheeky reference to the dog’s elongated body shape.
Ahead, the top 10 spring 2025 bag trends to know and shop this season.
Pastels
Chanel, Fendi, Ferragamo
Ballet pink, butter yellow, and pistachio green—pastel-colored handbags ruled the catwalk in 2025, spotted at Chanel, Ferragamo, Fendi, Coach, and more. For a dose of dopamine, consider adding a sweet-colored bag to your outfit.
Canvas
Ralph Lauren, Gabriela Hearst, Proenza Schouler
Practical and utilitarian, canvas bags have become essential for running errands, beach day carryalls, and pulling double-duty as laptop bags during morning commutes. It’s time to say goodbye to your flimsy canvas freebie tote. This spring, canvas gets a modern upgrade in sleek shapes like boxy crossbody bags, bucket bags, and totes with luxurious leather trims.
Snakeskin
Dries Van Noten, Louis Vuitton, Khaite
Quiet luxury, what? Bold maximalism has entered the room. Python and other snakeskin bags were spotted at Dries Van Noten, Louis Vuitton, and Khaite. If you’re still keeping things minimalistic, an exotic-print bag is the perfect way to push yourself out of that comfort zone.
Raffia
Chloé, Bottega Veneta, Ralph Lauren
It’s all about raffia this Spring and Summer. Raffia shoulder bags, crossbody bags, and tote bags can carry you throughout the week—and not just for your next vacation. For this season, Caroline Maguire, Senior Fashion Director, Shopbop, agrees that “Raffia and macrame bags are the standouts—they feel really unique and artisanal, perfect for warmer days.” For dressier summer nights, consider Mango’s metallic ring-stitched raffia bag in lieu of a traditional clutch that nods to the trend, while still being appropriate for a summer wedding or special occasion.
Doctor
Miu Miu, Hermès, Carven
Evocative of structured physician bags, these boxy leather totes and top-handle bags have become a standout style from this year’s spring lineup. From Carven to Miu Miu, these doctor-style bags look and feel professional, making them great work bags.
Fringe
Michael Kors, Gucci, Valentino
It’s going to be a fringe summer! These textured bags will look great against a backdrop of crochet tops and white dresses. From Gucci’s swishy tote to Michael Kors’s fringe-meets-raffia tote, or Valentino’s studded It-bag (spotted on both Bella Hadid and Alexa Chung), fringe is the thing this season.
Suede
Stella McCartney, Miu Miu, Coperni
From Stella McCartney to Coperni, this sumptuous fabric is a key trend for the months ahead. There’s something so luxurious about a suede bag. While it’s not ideal for unexpected spring showers, it will look great when paired with a white button-down shirt and black trousers, or just as elegant with a tank top and satin slip skirt for the weekend.
Belted
Prada, Hermès, Balmain
Thanks to Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons, belted bags have made their way to our shopping carts and our hearts. Contemporary labels like Manu Atelier and Veronica Beard expand on the trend, offering bags with belted details. Further fueling the trend was Tibi’s viral collaboration with L.L. Bean, which featured a simple leather belt looped around a classic canvas boat and tote—selling out not once, but twice.
Croc Effect
Toteme, Gucci, Loewe
Just like snakeskin, croc-embossed bags showcase the dominance of rich textures this spring. Seen at Toteme, you can still be a minimalist and try the croc trend. It adds an extra luxe feel to a traditional tote.
East-West
Prada, Stella McCartney, Ralph Lauren
“The east-west handbag trend continues strong this spring,” says De Sole. “Alaïa’s latest shoulder bag, Le Click, has quickly become a favorite. The elongated silhouette remains a standout on runways, from Prada to Khaite.” With its longer straps that make it comfortable to wear around the shoulders to its surprisingly spacious interior, the east-west bag looks chic no matter how you choose to style it, whether it’s a t-shirt and jeans or dressed up.
