Indulgent is the best descriptor for fall 2024 bag trends. In the same vein as fall's maximal accessories (the season's best bangles are worn in stacks of two, three, and, in the case of Fendi, four), these handbags encourage a more-is-more mentality. Some designers meant it literally: Bottega Veneta's models carried two totes at one time, while Undercover's clutched sequined shoppers and grocery bags stuffed with produce.
The bags that clocked in as fall 2024 trends weren't necessarily novel—the crescents, buckets, and carry-all tote bags were all familiar favorites. But in place of minimal hardware and smooth neutral leathers were material twists, like long-haired lap dog-looking clutches at Jil Sander and faux shearling shoulder bags at Stella McCartney. Bag charms also jingle-jangled across the circuit, urging you to forgo a quiet luxury sentiment and make some noise instead.
