Unlike fashion trends, there's hardly ever a common throughline in accessories. Seasonal ready-to-wear drops typically follow a shared theme (this year has undeniably centered around real-world wearability), while accouterments can run the whole gamut. Winter 2024's Handbag Trends are no exception. Maximalist flair is prominent and found in snuggle-worthy textures and bright chrome colorways. But so is the understated, quiet luxury effect; you can very easily see an Ashley Olsen-type traipsing around downtown with a massive carryall hanging on a shoulder or a slouchy, lived-in hobo bag tucked into her elbow.
