The Fall Handbag Trends That Are Already Taking Over
Despite our valiant efforts to hold onto summer, it dipped below 50 degrees in New York this week, making us come to grips with the fact that it is, in fact, officially fall. But aside from our longing for rosé and the beach, we have to admit we are actually excited about this shift in seasons. Of course, we’re most thrilled with the fact that we can now start adopting our favorite fall trends—especially when it comes to the bags.
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.
