8 Major 2025 Bag Trends You’ll Want to Wear Everywhere in Spring

The best spring 2025 bag trends are worthy of pairing with every outfit—and they’re also all about functionality. This season’s most popular picks will upgrade your current lineup: roomy totes and satchels with space to schlep all your stuff, extra-long handles and slouchy silhouettes for effortless wear, durable canvas and leather to keep you moving season after season.

So while it’s fun to keep up with the latest fashion trends—and our editors certainly are—this season is all about investing in what’s right for you. Want a work bag that’ll keep up with you? Miu Miu, Bally, and Bottega Veneta agree you deserve one, and we found the perfect pick at Coach. In the mood for something soft and indestructible? You’re in good company with this super-popular Amazon gem or Katie Holmes’s beloved Madewell bag. But whether you go for a designer label or an under-$50 find, wear it with confidence and purpose; that’s the most important handbag trend this spring.

1. Dramatic drops

Following the success of Alaïa’s Le Teckel bag—a viral hit that’s been tough to find in stores for months now—east-west bags are having a major moment. Characterized by rectangular bodies that are wider than they are tall, the silhouette also features exaggerated handle drops, which make them easier to carry as shoulder bags and add a sculptural je ne sais quoi to any outfit. These options range from Amazon steals to proper designer investments from Coach and Tory Burch.

2. Belted bags

What’s the easiest way to make an everyday bag feel special? Easy—just add a belt. Miu Miu, Hermès, Toteme, Prada, and Ferragamo all showed belted accessories for spring, all of which deliver on form (chic visual intrigue) and function (modular designs that expand and contract with your day’s load). No matter how unruly your bag’s contents get, don’t worry: This little design trick turns an overflowing tote into a status symbol.

3. Bowling bags

Bowling bags, satchels, medicine bags—whatever you call them, they’re absolutely everywhere for 2025. Featuring tall top handles and roomy, boxy silhouettes, these accessories add retro charm to office outfits, contrast nicely with going-out clothes, and make weekend travel that much more luxurious. Pretty much every runway label (Hermès, Bally, Stella McCartney, Dior, Louis Vuitton, Miu Miu, Jil Sander) showed its take on the style for spring, meaning these finds will keep you organized and ahead of the curve. These picks run the gamut from minis to weekenders.

4. Preppy canvas totes

Coastal prep is one of spring’s most talked-about fashion trends, and classic canvas totes make the easiest (and most practical) way to buy in. If you’ve somehow gone through life without L.L.Bean’s iconic Boat and Tote or one of its many descendants, we suggest you remedy that right now; they last for years, go with everything, and make perfect beach and farmers market bags. Plus, paired with a simple white button-down, some straight-leg jeans, and a pair of fisherman sandals, these options will transport you directly to Nantucket—mentally, at least.

5. Boho bags

Boho’s big return has been powered by labels like Chloé and Isabel Marant, and it’s clear that other brands are starting to take notice. Fendi and Michael Kors went big on laid-back fringe bags for spring; Bottega Veneta and The Row gave us raffia accessories; studs and tassels abounded at Valentino and Zimmermann. The mood, clearly, is bohemian, although it’s up to you whether you go in the direction of beachy or rockstar. Pick up one of the boho beauties below to pair with flowy tops and trendy jeans as spring fades into summer.

6. Pillowy quilting

Puffed-up quilting is exactly the kind of technique we’d expect from Chanel, but with luxury brands like Issey Miyake and mass-market retailers like COS also getting in on the fun, it’s clear that there’s a real interest in the technique in 2025. COS, specifically, kicked off the current iteration of the trend with its quilted bags, staples beloved by Glamour staffers (and on the mood board at pretty much every other brand). If you’d rather invest in leather, no worries—Coach and Tory Burch have you covered.

7. Big, unstructured bags

Big ol’ bags with attitude—what one Glamour writer has dubbed bratty handbags—are back in vogue after a heyday in the late aughts and early 2010s. The Balenciaga City bag, a silhouette made famous two decades ago by the likes of the Olsen twins, is enjoying a major street-style resurgence right now, while soft, oversized accessories also popped up this season at Balmain and Bottega Veneta, among many other brands. Clearly, the look is here to stay. This is the kind of bag that looks best with some wear and tear, so don’t be afraid to throw your leather, canvas, or suede around like a rich lady with money to spend—it’ll pay off.

8. Suede for spring

Yes, suede is traditionally reserved for fall and winter. But with this season’s collections, labels like Miu Miu, Victoria Beckham, JW Anderson, Stella McCartney, and Chloé proved that the soft, slouchy material (especially in earthy neutrals that contrast spring’s brighter shades) are cut out for year-round wear. Street style is onboard, too, with The Row’s suede Margaux bag reaching new heights of popularity—and countless other brands introducing their own spins on the roomy, minimalist design. So whether you’re in the market for a shoulder bag or an everyday tote, it’s worth challenging yourself to style suede. (FYI, Katie Holmes carries that exact Madewell tote all the time.)
