Now that we know how we’ll be dressing this year according to the Fall/Winter 2024-2025 trends, it’s time to review accessories, specifically the most coveted of them all: the bag. This item that ignites passions with each launch and whose novelties are as valued (or more) as those in clothing, faces the seasonal change accompanied by vibrant colors and designs that make a statement. With all the possibilities presented in the fashion shows, we gather here how this accessory will be worn, going hand-in-hand with boho-chic dresses, boots, and capes.
One shape: the rectangle. The geometry reflected in bags during spring, which took cylindrical forms with the ‘barrel’, finds a new path to slip into autumn. This time, through rectangles. A recognizable silhouette that finds its leitmotif in the most classic colors, designed for everyday wear and, due to the outfits it accompanies in the collections of Miu Miu, Givenchy, or Chloé, perfect for the office as well.
‘Double bag’. Carrying two bags at the same time has become a recurring practice on the catwalks. A habit that adds capacity and increases the possibilities of what we can combine. Bottega Veneta, Fendi, and Coach demonstrate this, using bags with different shapes, colors, and sizes to dress them together. The key to the trend, which seems to be precisely that mismatched effect, has a formula that is easily replicable: use a large, bright-toned bag along with a smaller, neutral one.
Shopper bag. Large bags, essential in the wardrobe, lower their oversized trend to find balance in the shopper model. With its discreet appearance and the ability to include everything we set out to do, it becomes an element worthy of the ‘old money’ most faithful to elegant fashion and elevated basics. This time, with timeless classic lines that combine with brown and leather, a combination that meets all the requirements of silent luxury is created. In this way, as a handbag, it is incorporated by brands such as Ralph Lauren or Coperni.
Citrus colors. The chromatic coexistence between tones like black, white, and beige with others more striking, makes this fall/winter wardrobes become an ode to color. Specifically, those citrus fruits that we usually avoid because of their difficulty to include in styles successfully and where green and yellow stand out. Both, added as pops of color or to highlight them if they are found in garments that contain them. Examples of this are the fashion shows of Chanel, Ferragamo, Gucci, or Carolina Herrera.
‘Animal print’. Animal prints confirm their reign during this season, being one of the most viral trends and present in all areas of fashion. However, beyond the leopard (which according to Versace and Michael Kors creates the definitive accessory), brands like Loewe or Ganni propose options in which other ‘animal prints’ are contemplated and where the crocodile texture stands out.
Fur bags. All possible moderation in terms of size is left behind with this design, giant and furry, which Saint Laurent or Marni added. Thus, we return to maximalism and oversized bags that immediately position themselves as the protagonists of any look. In addition, although there are versions of this with a handle for comfortable transport, the most repeated option is to treat it as if it were a clutch and by hand. That yes, XXL version.
Trapezium. One of the most repeated silhouettes is that of the trapezium bag, with a wide base that narrows. This creates a practical bag, with a zipper that runs practically the entire length of the edge and very versatile. Smooth, easy to carry, and hassle-free, as demonstrated by Alaïa and Acne Studios.
