Across all the bag trends to emerge from the spring-summer 2025 shows, practicality reigned supreme. Scaled-down mini bags were usurped by capacious totes that came in various shapes and fabrications. Doctor holdalls – with the same characteristics as those historically carried by physicians – were one of the most functional accessories on the runways, seen at Miu Miu, Jil Sander, Hermès and The Row.
On the slightly less practical end of the spectrum, there were swathes of suede bags. Jonathan Anderson introduced his brand new Loafer bag – named for its likeness to the smart penny shoe – while curvaceous versions also arrived at Stella McCartney and Miu Miu (the latter’s came with horsebit hardware).
Then, there were the slimline, horizontally-proportioned east-west bags, a trend that was kickstarted by Pieter Mulier’s Alaïa Le Teckel, which won over fashion insiders in 2024. Khaite, Versace and Prada were among several brands to present their respective new-season takes; slung over shoulders or nestled in the crooks of models’ arms.
Here, a glimpse at the spring-summer 2025 bag trends set to take over the accessory landscape.
