What’s in your bag? If you’ve been on YouTube in the last decade, you’ve probably watched celebrities and influencers reveal the exclusive contents of their handbags. Lipgloss, designer wallets, a loose Polaroid, and a strategic sponsored brand placement are all fair game. This year, however, the question is not a matter of what is in your bag, but which bag trend for 2024 you’ll be carrying. Plus, how you’ll be accessorizing your accessories—bag charms seem to be everywhere for spring 2024 bag trends.
If you’re concerned about having room in your bag for your own haul of celeb-worthy essentials, I’ve got good news for you—the 2024 bag trends are bigger and better than ever. The micro-mini bag trend made popular by brands like Jacquemus and models like Bella Hadid is on its way out. You can go ahead and store yours in one of the large bags trending for the new year. Don’t worry, you’ll have plenty of space.
Extra large clutches, spacious bucket bags, and oversized totes are just a few of the trends you’ll be carrying all year long. If you still love the look of a smaller bag, there are always still trendy options. A bright red handbag or quilted leather are both excellent ways to give the old mini-bag trend a new life.
The Baby Bag
It’s been in since Jacquemus’ splashy viral campaign, but the baby bag is innovating. No longer is it absurdist and niche to have an impractically small, pocket-sized purse—if anything, it helps us keep it down to the essentials.

Butterfly Bags
The Ganni butterfly bag is more of an abstract geometry of a butterfly, but it nods directly to the playful, hyper-girly fashion of the 2000s. In the wake of the Y2K resurgence, versions of these blew up on sites like eBay and Depop. But here these bags are, taking over the 2020s like air in the atmosphere.

Elevated Totes
Maybe it’s the merch of it all. But totes are in. Canvas totes with your favorite boutique tinned fish brand’s logo. Designer totes crafted in leather. Call it a rival to the baby bag, but we need space for our stylish books, makeup bags, weed paraphernalia, and jacket in case we get cold, and we want that space to be sexy.
Rag and Bone Remi Shopper Tote
Heart in Your Hands
If you’re the kind of person who wears your heart on your sleeve, you may want to consider moving it to your shoulder or hands. Heart-shaped bags are an untraditional shape we are loving for 2024. Designer brands like Alaïa have popularized the kitschy shape and infused the luxury bag market with a little romance. Luckily, this shape can be found at so many retailers now so you won’t have to drop major cash to fall head over heels for the look.

Woven Bags
We can thank Matthieu Blazy, creative director of Bottega Veneta, for the resurgence of the weave. Bottega has always had that trademark woven textile, but under Blazy, the house found new life, and the rest of culture got swept up in that wave. That signature tapestry weave is everywhere.
Kimchi Blue Mini Marie Tote Bag
Fish Bags
We’ve talked about the fish-shaped purse before, and like it or not, the fish bag is kind of perfect. They feel both like an inside joke and something very sincere. The Bottega Veneta runway AW24 runway show showcased this little number, and trust that by year’s end, your fashion friends may have invested in something like it.
Staud Cleo Fish Basket Bag
Quilted Minis
While puffy handbags were popular in 2023, Miu Miu took a more refined approach to the trend for 2024. Quilted handbags are a part of the brand’s Fall/Winter ’23 collection and have already quickly become a celeb favorite. Accessible brands like COS, Coach, and Stand Studio have similar versions of the bag available in stores and online right now. If you’re in search of a trendy new statement piece, this is the style for you.
Clare V. Midi Sac Crossbody Bag
Too Red Hot to Handle
Red accents are everywhere right now and that includes the handbag category. If you’re looking to add a pop of red to your wardrobe, a bag is a great way to start because it’s a piece you can use on a daily basis. Whether it’s a small handbag or an oversized leather tote, red will elevate your entire look.
Jil Sander Tangle SM Bag
Oversized Shoulder Bags
When it comes to shoulder bags in 2024, the bigger the better. The teeny tiny handbag trend is being overshadowed by the oversized shoulder bag trend. As someone who is constantly carrying a laptop and a minimum of 10 accessories around, I’m so excited about this change. Brands like Loewe have embraced the oversized trend with the sold-out Squeeze Bag. There are also chic suede and leather tote options from brands like J. Crew and Banana Republic.
