As the leaves begin to turn and the air grows crisper, the fashion world pivots to embrace the new trends of Fall/Winter 2024. If you're looking to refresh your wardrobe, now is the perfect time to invest in a statement handbag that will see you through the colder months in style. From bold new shapes to nostalgic throwbacks, the Fall/Winter 2024 bag trends are all about blending luxury with function. At Labellov, we've curated the ultimate guide to help you navigate the season’s key looks.
1. Structured and Sculptural Silhouettes
This season, handbags are more than just accessories—they're works of art. Designers have been experimenting with exaggerated shapes, angular lines, and geometric designs that push the boundaries of form. Whether it's a boxy tote or a circular mini, structured bags are making a statement. Think of Louis Vuitton’s oversized trunks or Bottega Veneta’s sculptural pouches. These bold designs are perfect for those who want their bag to be the centerpiece of their outfit.
Labellov Picks:
- Hermès Kelly Bag in stiff leather for a timeless, structured look.
- Chanel's geometric flap bags for an architectural edge.
2. Luxe Textures: Shearling, Velvet, and Suede
As temperatures drop, soft, tactile materials like shearling, velvet, and suede take center stage. These luxurious fabrics not only add warmth to your winter wardrobe but also an irresistible touch of coziness. Look for bags that incorporate these plush textures to make your outfits feel more seasonal and rich. Whether it’s a shearling-lined tote or a velvet crossbody, these materials create a beautiful contrast with winter knits and outerwear.
Labellov Picks:
- Fendi shearling Peekaboo bag for the ultimate blend of texture and luxury.
- Gucci’s velvet Marmont bag to add a splash of opulence to your look.
3. Nostalgic '90s and Y2K Revival
Nostalgia reigns supreme in Fall/Winter 2024, with a significant nod to the '90s and early 2000s bag styles. Expect to see mini shoulder bags, baguettes, and top-handle styles reminiscent of the Y2K era. Designers like Prada and Dior are leading the charge, re-releasing their iconic early aughts bags with a modern twist. These compact, sleek designs are perfect for adding a retro flair to your everyday style.
Labellov Picks:
- Dior’s Saddle Bag, which has made a massive comeback with modern updates.
- Prada’s nylon re-edition bags for a sleek, minimalist vibe.
4. Oversized Tote Bags
As much as we love a cute mini bag, oversized totes are making waves this season for their practicality and bold size. Whether you're headed to work, the gym, or a weekend getaway, these large, slouchy bags combine fashion with function. The key is to find one that’s big enough to carry all your essentials without overwhelming your look. Designers like Loewe and Balenciaga have released versions in soft leather and monogram prints, making these bags perfect for layering over heavy winter coats.
Labellov Picks:
- Celine’s Big Bag in natural leather for a minimalist yet spacious option.
- Loewe’s oversized Puzzle bag for a versatile, high-fashion touch.
5. Jewel-Toned Bags
Color trends this season are leaning toward rich, saturated jewel tones like emerald green, sapphire blue, and deep amethyst. These bold colors bring life to neutral winter outfits, providing an unexpected pop against classic black, grey, and beige coats. Jewel-toned bags are also versatile, effortlessly transitioning from day to night.
Labellov Picks:
- Balenciaga Hourglass bag in emerald green leather for a bold statement.
- Saint Laurent’s Loulou bag in deep plum velvet for a striking evening accessory.
6. Chain Straps and Metallic Accents
While chain straps have always been a staple in the fashion world, Fall/Winter 2024 sees them getting chunkier and more prominent. Gold, silver, and mixed-metal chains are being used not just as handles but as key design elements, adding an edgy, industrial vibe to softer styles. Metallic finishes, including patent leathers and glossy hardware, also add a sense of glamour, perfect for the holiday season.
Labellov Picks:
- Chanel's classic flap bag with chunky chain detailing for a timeless, yet on-trend option.
- Valentino Garavani’s Roman Stud bags featuring oversized studs and metallic chains for an ultra-glam look.
7. Monogram Mania
Logomania is alive and well, with iconic fashion houses continuing to showcase their heritage through monogrammed bags. From LV’s timeless canvas to Gucci’s GG Supreme print, these bags make an instant statement. For Fall/Winter 2024, expect to see more muted, tone-on-tone monograms, perfect for those who want subtle luxury without too much flash.
Labellov Picks:
- Louis Vuitton’s Neverfull in the classic monogram print—a staple in any luxury collection.
