The streets of Paris and NYC have been flooded with one specific handbag style recently: pouch bags. This was immediately apparent at Paris Fashion Week outside of the Celine runway show, where attendees were clutching one of the brand's latest bags, the Crystal Pouch. The leather lambskin bag features a drawstring and gold-finished Triomphe closures, printed with the brand name in the corner, and comes in vibrant shades like ultra blue, as well as more subtle safari beige and black.
Prada, too, debuted a pouch-shaped bag for spring 2026 with its Wish Bag. The Italian fashion house’s version is executed in satin with a small logo tag and the center. Other cool style insiders brands including Sophie Buhai also have takes on the buzzy pouch bags in their collections. All signs point to the pouch bag as the fresh bag trend the fashion set will wear in 2026. Ahead, shop the standout styles.
