The Fall Handbag Trends That Are Already Taking Over

by Nicole Kliest

Despite our valiant efforts to hold onto summer, we're finally resigning to the fact that we're quickly heading into fall. But aside from the fact that we'll soon be left longing for rosé and the beach, we have to admit we are actually excited about this shift in seasons. While we're slow to admit it's because we're excited to have a reason to do some shopping, well it's true. Currently topping our list are the fall handbag trends we're ready to consider adopting now (and wearing on repeat for months to come).

The usual suspects have all made their way onto the scene. Top handles, minis, and backpacks. However, when it comes to the fall bag trends that are really making a splash, there's a select few (Psst! See below) that have really caught our attention. If you're an accessory fanatic or just a dedicated follower of bags, scroll down for four standout purse picks for autumn.

Thanks to mega brands like Balenciaga, Céline, and Gucci, oversize totes are all the rage. Bonus: You can totally stuff your after-work yoga clothes in there.
