20 Designer Bags Worth the Splurge This Fall

In search of an update to Prada’s iconic Tessuto nylon, we found this a style we can’t stop thinking about. Done up in a plaid velvet, this silhouette retains the same ’90s feel but with a graphic touch.

If it’s not baroque, don’t fix it. Chanel gave its little black bag a vintage touch with an embellished front worthy of royalty.

Bottega Veneta has a reputation for churning out the hottest bags each year. 2020 is no different with the drop of The Fold, a bag that fuses the brand’s iconic Intrecatio textile with creative director Daniel Lee’s contemporary eye.

Still in love with Louis Vuitton’s throwback multicolor monogram? Try its latest rendition, complete with hearts, that is bound to be a future icon.  

Available at select Louis Vuitton stores

We’ve taken a break from going out this year, so evening bags haven’t been on our mind. Let Oscar de la Renta’s beautiful beaded top handle serve as a reminder that to update your collection. 

If you’re on the for a statement, try Valentino’s rose-shaped cross body. 

Worn by the likes of Jennifer Lawrence and Jessica Alba, we suspect that Celine’s new 16 Bag is about to be huge. We suggest copping the style in hunter green too, an under-appreciated neutral that the Parisian house beautifully executed. 

Checkerboard is the print du jour, but this refined take by Salvatore Ferragamo is timeless. 

For a classic handbag that will never go out of style, look to Gucci’s line of Cuir leather bags. Freshly released just this week, the material feels both vintage, but refreshingly modern. Expect to wear this one for decades. 

Grasping a ladylike bag changes the way you walk. Miu Miu’s newest Belle style will make you strut. 

File this bag under “Reasons to go back to the office.”  Made of aged leather, this work-ready tote was inspired by Mr. Lauren’s personal travel bags. 

This playful tote by Fendi will put a smile on your face. It’s a spin on a classic structured bag, with a slouchy front that drops down to reveal a satin lining in carnation pink. 

Hermes scarves are legendary, but they can do more than be draped around your neck. Pair one with the brand’s leather accessory, which can be used in conjunction with your favorite silk to create a chic, lightweight bag. 

Items sold seperately. Available at Hermès stores nationwide.  

Not everyone needs a basic black handbag. Chloé superimposed a print by Rita Ackermann, an artist from the ’90s whose work informed the brand’s fall-winter 2020 runway. 

Fanny packs live on with Max Mara, whose shearling, handsfree option is the coziest bag in our edit. 

Be a lady in red with Dolce & Gabbana’s newest handbag. They reworked the brand’s iconic Sicily bag in red matelassé leather, offering the silhouette supple texture.  

Maybe classics aren’t for you. If that’s the case, look no further than Thom Browne’s leather animals. From elephants to giraffes to hippos, the brand recently launched a zoo’s worth of styles that double as chic home decor. 

If  your celebrity style crushes include Beyoncé, Jennifer Lopez, and Rosalia, look to Balmain. Each star has been spotted in brand’s  1945 print, and this bag can serve as a reminder for you to follow in their lead. 

Dior did not come to play with its newest bag, the St. Honoré. It’s business in the front, and downtown party in the back, with ’30 Montaigne’ embossed on the posterior. 

Versace’s bag takes its name from the Roman god of virtue, strength, and courage. You’ll encompass all of those traits while turning heads with this electric shade of green.
