Bags are the bread and butter of the fashion industry—so naturally, designers are keen to present shoppers with a range of new and exciting styles. Fall 2023 was no different; and, like the shoe trends we saw on this season’s runways, purses, clutches, and carryalls corresponded with fashion’s return to elegance and practicality. There were plenty of pervasive accessories styles we loved from designers like Louis Vuitton, Proenza Schouler, and The Row—including a notable brooch revival; cinched waists with simple belts; and hats made of soft, touchable materials. But there was no doubt that the new, fresh interpretations of classic bag silhouettes were the real star of the shows. Below, we’ve zeroed in on four bag trends that we saw on the fall 2023 catwalks, which will surely be everywhere by the time September rolls around.

You can’t actually pack your life in these purses, but you can certainly get pretty close!
