Handbag picks for fall

Shopping for a new handbag?

We've got our eye on trending handbags for fall: People are searching for suede bags, for example, now more than they have over the last five years. Suede bags are taking over our TikTok feeds as content creators style everything from The Row's signature Margaux bag to more affordable options from brands like Madewell and Gap. Scroll through your favorite retailers' fall lookbooks and you'll likely see suede incorporated into their collections.

Beyond suede, we're also drawn to neutral fall handbags in rich colors like burgundy and chocolate brown, and large slouchy bags, which we think will continue to trend well into the coming months.

25 sweaters we're eyeing for fall

To help you find your next fall handbag, we're rounding up some of our favorites: J.Crew's large Berkeley tote in brown suede, Madewell's Essential Bucket Tote in olive suede, new Charles & Keith bags in plum, Coach Tabby bags and more. We have options should you need a formal handbag for a fall wedding or a more casual, everyday bag you can style into a capsule wardrobe.
