Whether you fully embraced the subtlety of the quiet luxury era or patiently waited for maximalist palettes to return, there’s no denying that we can all appreciate the space it made for new names. With bold branding out of sight, focus shifted to composition and creation, and in particular, we saw a series of mid-range handbag brands come to the fore.

Glancing across the globe, Liffner is one such brand that has nestled into the forever wardrobes of tastemakers everywhere. And whilst vibrant shades and bold patterns gradually return, the infatuation with the brand’s intricately created pieces continues. Years after its release, stylish people are still carrying Liffner's Belted Bucket Bag.

True to its Scandinavian origins, the designs follow clean lines and minimal aesthetics, each with a distinctive twist that makes them identifiable to in-the-know insiders, while retaining the under-the-radar feel that makes them so coveted. The focus isn’t on a mass of styles, but a curated collection of totes, clutch bags and over-the-shoulder options that have been meticulously designed. Then the handful of exquisite designs are finished in a series of sleek colourways, textures and finishes to suit a variety of personal preferences.

Whilst some bags will rise in favour for just a season, Liffner's Belted Buckle Bag has held its place in the hearts (and wardrobes) of fashion people since its release in late 2024. As we ease into autumn once more, we're marking two years since the bag was first unveiled, but the new sightings continue to roll in.

It's easy to see why this bag has managed to outlast the moving trends. The single strap and spacious interior create a refined look that easily translates every single season, with a distinctive buckled strap cinching the silhouette and bringing a modern refresh to the classic form. The classic bucket silhouette is not only timeless but practical, whether you're filling the regular size with your daily essentials or have opted for the larger silhouette for all those last-minute additions. If you're looking for a bag that has all the hallmarks of a designer style, from the look to the construction, but without the matching price tag, you'll want to scroll on.

September has only just arrived, but already autumn's hit bag has been unveiled. Dedicated to creating sleek, timeless and understated bags, DeMellier's new collection sees a new style in the spotlight. For now, the Brooklyn bag is the insider bag on every fashion person’s autumn wish list, and I’m snapping it up before everyone else does.

Named the Brooklyn, there are clear familial links to the brand’s iconic New York tote. It follows the signature metal closure across the front and spacious size, but distinguishes itself with an east-west silhouette and flap closure. As with each of the brand's creations, practicality and look are considered in equal measure when approaching the Brooklyn bag. Long straps allow the bag to sit neatly over the shoulder or be carried in the crook of an arm, whether you're wearing a light knit or bulky coat in the cooler months. A zip pocket and card slots keep treasured items close at hand, whilst the overall look of the bag is high-end, without the matching four-figure price tag.

The first unveiling of the Brooklyn bag sees two distinct sizes: regular and midi. Each is spacious and offered in a series of sleek colourways and various finishes, from suede to grained leather to croc-effect. Like all of DeMellier’s creations, this bag was designed to go the distance. The shape feels current yet enduring, the leather is high-quality, and the finer details of metal feet on the base support the longevity of the style. It’s the kind of bag that will induce compliments every time you wear it and encourage onlookers to ask, “Where did you get that?” as the understated appeal isn’t based on bold branding, but immaculate craftspersonship.

Already, some of the most stylish fashion insiders have added this to their autumn rotations, paired with soft knitwear and tailoring, smart blazers and capri pants and just about everything else. Whilst it remains an insider favourite for now, this bag is sure to be a sell-out success. Trust me, autumn 2026 will be all about the Brooklyn bag.

There's no denying high-street brands have been upping their game lately, Gap in particular. In the last few months alone, Gap has partnered with the ultimate It girl, Hailey Bieber (hello, The Hailey Jean), revived the '90s classic Gap Beauty, released a fall 2026 GapStudio capsule, and is now launching its debut handbag collection.

The fall 2026 GapBag Collection is nothing short of iconic, designed by Reed Krakoff, Gap's executive director of accessories and a three-time CFDA Accessory Designer of the Year recipient. The brand has been influencing American fashion for decades, so I'd expect nothing less. "The GapBag Collection draws on that legacy: iconic American style, simple, never plain, built on the idea that form follows function and that luxury is the coming together of style, unity, and design," said Krakoff in the press release.

Launching today, September 8, the collection features five new styles that capture Krakoff's ideals: The Five-Pocket Tote, The Hoodie Tote, The Favorite Tote, The Crescent Bag, and The Shoulder Bag.

First impressions? The collection's denim incorporation should not be overlooked. After all, denim is what Gap does best. The Five-Pocket Tote clearly steals the show; it's an almost Birken-like silhouette poised to overtake the current tote I use for work. Not to mention the everyday style is perfectly in line with accessory trends we're eyeing for fall 2026 (ahem, the Alex Mill canvas tote). And despite the fact that this collection introduces five new pieces, pay close attention, and you'll recognize familiar motifs and fabrics synonymous with the Gap brand.

It's no coincidence that the collection launches at the perfect time for fall closet prep and just ahead of New York Fashion Week. Its reasonable pricing, ranging from $40 to $148 (with the exception of the limited-edition Five-Pocket Tote), is just a reminder of Gap's dedication to creating functional pieces that deliver on luxury and affordability.

In addition to the GapBag collection drop on September 8, here is a highly curated list of editor-approved new arrivals from the fall 2026 GapStudio collection. Below, you'll find elevated everyday basics (ahem, the Double-Pocket Denim Jacket) and fall hero items like the Printed Denim Terry Dress.

Every season, it feels like there's a new ludicrously capacious tote for the fashion set to fall in love with. Don't get me wrong, I love a beautiful designer bag, and yes, The Row’s Margaux is still sitting pretty at the top of my wish list, but lately, the bag I can’t stop noticing in New York isn't particularly precious at all. It's colorful, slightly slouchy, covered in hand-painted initials, and being thrown over the shoulders of some of the coolest women around.

Enter Alex Mill’s Perfect canvas totes. Available in Daily, Weekday, and Weekend sizes, the sturdy carryalls have quietly become an It-girl staple, spotted on everyone from Emma Chamberlain and Kaia Gerber to Gwyneth Paltrow. The real draw, though, is the personalization: Each can be finished with a colorful hand-painted monogram that makes an otherwise simple canvas bag feel entirely your own.

If you’re familiar with Alex Mill, the rise of the cool girl tote probably tracks. The New York brand was founded by Alex Drexler in 2012 with the goal of perfecting those deceptively simple wardrobe staples you actually want to live in. Today, with former J.Crew and Madewell designer Somsack Sikhounmuong at the creative helm, that same slightly preppy, slightly downtown, I just threw this on sensibility runs through everything it makes—including its totes.

Right now, it feels like fashion is craving exactly that kind of personality. After years of quiet luxury and anonymous, logo-free minimalism, getting dressed is feeling fun again. We’re tying scarves onto handbags, piling on charms, hunting down vintage keychains, and choosing pieces that look like they could only belong to us. A perfectly pristine bag is nice, but one painted with your initials, stuffed with your laptop and lip glosses, and a little beaten up from carrying it everywhere? Much, much cooler.

As Who What Wear editors, we spend a lot of time analyzing upcoming trends—seeing them months early during fashion week—and shopping online. Given this, we're all very well-versed in what's to come for fall 2026.

A few trends from fall 2025 will carry over: capris, faux-fur coats, Flore Flore basics, high-V-neck tops, high-vamp shoes, and satin and silk pants. There are even items that feel less like trends at this point and more like timeless fall staples, such as button-down shirts, knee-high boots, and trench coats.

Looking forward, newer trends for fall 2026 include croc-effect bags, flat tote bags, opera shoes, satin ballet flats, and suit skirts. We're eyeing pieces from Almina Concept, Rixo, Suzanne Rae, Tory Burch, and Valesque.

After a long, hot summer, there's a back-to-school feeling in the air, and the fashion world is preparing for a reset. Whilst the languid days still roll on, slowly we're starting to compile our autumn wardrobes. Loafers are laid out to be polished, wool trousers ready to be pressed, and the first jacket is hanging by the door, in preparation for the looming shift in weather. Moving through the core updates that will ease us into autumn, next on my list is to brush the sand of my basket bag and nestle it into the back of my wardrobe, making space for something a little sturdier, a little fresher. And if you're currently considering which bag will take over from your raffia tote, a fresh wave of inspiration has rolled in as the first It bags of Autumn 2026 have been unveiled.

If you kept a keen eye on the autumn/winter 2026 runways, then you may already be familiar with the new season lineup. Whilst last year saw a focus on revived heritage bags, this autumn is all about subtle signatures applied to new releases, with each one feeling like an in-the-know discovery.

Bottega Veneta's Giorno reinforces the significance of an identifying weave through its clutch style and reminds us how the brand reinvented the clutch once before and is about to do it all over again. At The Row, silhouette and form still guide designs with the curved, clean lines of the Alma Baguette, whilst Miu Miu's playfulness comes through by way of the Vivant silhouette, nodding to the bowling bag with a soft trapeze shape and rich colourways.

The takeaway from the autumn It bag lineup is balance. House signatures are paired with fresh silhouettes; heritage is subtly dispersed alongside fresh colourways and new designs, working in tandem with practicality to cement the staying power of each. With autumn on the horizon, it's time to dive into the 7 designer It bags of 2026.

7 Autumn It Bags That Should Be On Your Radar This Season

1. The Row Alma

Style Notes: A new bag has joined The Row's stellar lineup, and already celebrities and fashion people are adding it to their baskets. Following the clean lines, smart proportions and understated design that have become a signature of the brand, the Alma Baguette is already a hit.

Shop The Row Alma Baguette:

2. Bottega Veneta Giorno

Style Notes: Following its name, this bag is designed to be a perfect everyday bag. The soft silhouette can be tucked neatly under the arm for a clutch, or you can secure the drawstring closures to create a strap to wear over the shoulder. Bringing together versatility, a sleek design and Bottega Veneta's signature Intrecciato weave, this feels like a 2026 update on the brand's iconic clutch bag.

3. Gucci Horsebit Duomo

Style Notes: If polished and sophisticated are key desires in your autumn bag, then you'll want to take a close look at the Gucci Horsebit Duomo. The structured shape makes this bag feel like a heritage style already, with Gucci's iconic Horsebit motif serving as the closure. Adding a touch of versatility, the shorter strap can be swapped out for a longer version if you prefer to wear your bag crossbody.

4. Ferragamo Cara Bag

Style Notes: From Rihanna to Anne Hathaway, Karlie Kloss to Monica Barbara, the Cara bag has already had a series of celebrity outings. Whilst the understated designs exude luxury, the nod to branding comes from the subtle Gancini buckle closure, nodding to the brand's heritage, along with the wrapped leather around the sides, which echoes the design on the Hug bag. Just wait, there will be plenty more sightings of this bag to come.

Shop the Ferragamo Cara Bag

5. Prada Buckle Bag

Style Notes: Since its unveiling on the 2024 runways, the Buckle Bag has cemented its place in Prada's permanent lineup. Whilst the original took on a bucket bag form, the new style is a tote shape, with a short handle to carry in hand or over the shoulder, and a longer strap for various ways to wear. For in-the-know people, the style is recognisable from the decorative belt around the top.

6. Miu Miu Vivant

Style Notes: There's a vintage charm to Miu Miu's Vivant bag. Inspired by bowling bag silhouettes, the shape is incredibly striking, and the style has already been spotted on a series of celebrities and fashion people. The supple form adds to the heritage feel of the bag, and with the new season comes a host of new colourways, each of which feels exceedingly refined.

7. Loewe Amazona 180

Style Notes: The Loewe Amazona 180 has spent the past few months settling into the chicest wardrobes around. The original Amazona was released in 1975, and to celebrate Loewe's 180th anniversary, the brand brought back the iconic style with an updated silhouette but still retaining the history of the original. Designed to be worn slightly open, even the inner lining is a key feature of the design, with the Loewe anagram on the lining to nod to the bag's origin.

Fall is right around the corner. If you're looking to gear up for the coming months, you've landed in the perfect place. Transitional dressing can be a little tricky, as most people find it difficult to manage the switch between seasons. I utilized my fashion and shopping expertise to help you carry your current summer favorites into the new season seamlessly by finding the top transitional-weather picks to focus your closet refresh on.

It doesn't take a lot to achieve peak between-season fashion, so I'll tell you exactly what you should buy and where to buy high-quality, editor-approved versions of each item. I recommend investing in versatile jackets, flat shoes, lightweight knits, tall boots, and a beautiful leather tote to really step into the fall vibes. Keep scrolling to shop summer-to-fall transitional clothing today.

Shop Summer-to-Fall Fashion

Versatile Jackets

An easy jacket is the perfect way to make your go-to pieces fall-friendly. For fall 2026, funnel-neck silhouettes have been trending in various fabrications. However, you can't go wrong with other timeless styles.

Flat Shoes

Trade your favorite sandals in for a solid flat-shoe style. Whether it's loafers, Mary Janes, ballet flats, or mules, there's endless potential for styling with this shoe category. I love wearing fun socks to give my outfit a little extra personality.

Lightweight Knits

As the leaves turn, sweater weather ensues. Having go-to lightweight knits can make the biggest difference when weather conditions start to shift. You can't go wrong with cashmere, and either a cardigan or crewneck is a perfect place to start.

Tall Boots

Boots are quintessentially fall, and I'm partial to taller styles. Pair your favorite boots and tights with cute trouser shorts, skirts, and dresses from the last few months to give them that autumn treatment.

Leather Tote

It's officially time to retire your raffia and straw carryalls for a fall- and winter-friendly leather or suede tote. Classic colorways, like luxe black or warm, rich brown, won't disappoint.

As someone who works in fashion, it should come as no surprise that I have a pretty long list of designer items that I hope to one day invest in. And as we slowly move out of summer and into the transitional season, I’ve started to think about the It bags that will define the next few months. But as someone who prides themselves on their minimal and polished style that will stand the test of time, I have to be honest and say that I’m not really looking for ostentatious logos or easily identifiable shapes. In fact, I want the very opposite: an It bag that, of course, comes loved and coveted by the chicest dressers, but that also remains under-the-radar, pared-back and most importantly, timeless.

Well, after spotting one of minimalist fashion house The Row’s lesser-known bags on Kendall Jenner this week, I think I’ve found just that. Enter The Row’s Astra bag.

Spotted in LA wearing the brown hand-embroidered leather iteration with a classic black T-shirt and straight-leg jeans, Kendall proved just how much this bag lends itself to everyday styling, meaning you’re sure to get your money’s worth of wear out of it. With a soft elongated body and long flat handles, this understated bag has long been known by the chicest dressers as the "IYKYK" style to invest in. So much so that when I first discovered it, it was completely out of stock. However, now that a few of the colours have restocked online (with hopefully more to follow), now is the perfect time to snap up yours before it inevitably goes again. Its sleek yet effortless appeal makes it easy to dress up or down for any occasion, and in true The Row fashion, you’ll never have to worry about it going out of style.

And don’t just take it from Kendall; the bag is loved by both elegant dressers and editors alike, firmly proving its place as one of the it bags that will dominate autumn 2026 (and well beyond this, of course).

If I had to choose a specialist subject, it would be handbags. I’ll admit, I’m pretty picky when it comes to totes and shoulder bags, but that doesn’t mean my criteria is simply skewed towards designer offerings. Of course, I can appreciate an enduring investment bag or a rising cult favourite, but I also have a soft spot for incredibly well-made, more affordable styles. The draw is that these are harder to find. Whilst the high street occasionally excels in the expensive-looking bag department (think Anthropologie’s recent woven style or basically any bag that comes out of COS), there's also an array of mid-range brands dedicated to creating elevated styles with sumptuous leather at a fraction of the price of designer styles. Now, everywhere I look, stylish people are carrying exquisite bags by The Horse, in particular, the Clementine bag.

Let me introduce you to The Horse. The brand was born in 2009, specialising in refined leather footwear, quickly cementing its credentials and expanding its offerings to include beautifully made handbags too. Focusing on anti-trend designs, a high-end appeal, and quality fabrics allowed these mid-range styles to break through the noise and nestle into the wardrobes of the most stylish people around. Across the globe, The Horse's understated bags can be spotted throughout the year, complementing all aesthetics from the bold to the minimalist. At the top of my wish list is the beloved Clementine.

The Clementine bag is an easy everyday style with a structured silhouette contrasted by supple grained leather. The top handle allows you to carry in hand, or add the detachable strap for shoulder and crossbody wear. Personally, I love that the softened forms also allow it to look at home nestled in the crook of an arm. The style comes in two sizes, regular and mini, with magnetic closures to keep your treasured possessions in place whilst also being easily accessible. The structured base ensures this bag is surprisingly roomy, ready for all your daily essentials. Each Clementine bag is crafted from 100% leather and available in an array of sleek colourways from classic black to deep khaki to rich navy. The sophisticated look of the bag sets it up to outlast moving trends and bring a touch of sophistication to any outfit, whether you're headed out for a casual coffee stroll or an elegant evening.

When it comes to the best designer bags, The Row is always part of the conversation. Since its inception in 2006, the brand has built a stellar roster of It bags, ranging from the capacious Marlo to the newly ingratiated Peggy Clutch. With timeless appeal, refined form and an in-the-know feel central to every design, The Row's bags consistently impress and, in turn, sell out. As the very best The Row bags can move quickly, I keep a careful eye on new releases and restocks, and I just know that these The Row summer bags will be flying off the shelves in no time.

From sharp tailoring to summer sandals, The Row's hold over the fashion sphere sees dedicated shoppers avidly watching for new arrivals and restocks of the best pieces. Last year, the brand introduced a bold striped Barn Tote, which instantly became the insider bag of the summer, void of bold logos but identifiable to keen-eyed fashion people. Now, the style has returned in understated black and brown colourways, along with a fresh intake of new summer bags.

In line with the arrival of sunshine, the brand has bolstered its bag category with new styles for the summer months. The newly arrived Georgica is already proving to be an instant hit, formed of intricate woven raffia in a classic tote silhouette. The Alma offers a more relaxed form, with a spacious interior and a long handle for added ease. Alongside the new styles come summer-ready updates to the brand's best-sellers. The Idaho shoulder bag has landed, updating the beloved style with elongated handles and a more everyday shape, but still retains the understated appeal that we've become accustomed to with The Row's designer bags.

From woven raffia to canvas updates, I've rounded up the best The Row summer bags to shop now before they sell out.

For a few months now, I've been keeping a secret. As part of my job as shopping editor, I get to preview collections well before they launch, and a few of these secrets are harder to keep than others. Finally, I can share that DeMellier has a new bag. One that has already made its way into my wish list and those of fashion people everywhere, even though it just launched today. Trust me, the DeMellier Stockholm Shoulder bag is about to be the cult buy of summer 2026.

Stepping into the DeMellier showroom a few months ago, I honed in on a sleek, structured shoulder bag with designer appeal and clear craftspersonship ingrained in every stitch. The form is a striking east-west shape, sure to bring a touch of sophistication to any outfit, whether you're heading out in a simple T-shirt and jeans ensemble, throwing on a pretty dress and flats or taking a more elevated approach for evening. This new style is an evolution of the instantly beloved Stockholm bag. Whilst the original has a curved silhouette, the shoulder style offers a more streamlined take on the line, with clean lines and a more structured form.

We've long sung the praises of DeMellier's designs, from the renowned New York Tote to the more recent Florence bag. Every new style takes the same considered approach, resulting in an unprecedented roster of best-selling bags for the brand. What draws us back to DeMellier's sleek bags is the consistent balance. First, there's the harmony between timeless and contemporary, achieved through an understated design accented by an eye-catching shape. Next, DeMellier spends equal time considering the refined look of the bag and the practical appeal. Elongated handles ensure the bag fits comfortably over the shoulder, with a spacious interior and pockets to make it practical for your everyday adventures. Finally, the colourways. For many of us minimalists, we're drawn to the enduring neutral shades in supple leathers and smooth suedes, but alongside you'll find a joyful yellow iteration that I can already see accenting crisp white and deep brown outfits this summer. As we know, DeMellier's pieces become instant favourites, so I wouldn't wait around before adding this style to your collection.
