A chic bag is your best friend. You carry it everywhere to house your essentials and act as a brand ambassador for your personal style. In 2024, we see oversized, structured, and slouchy chic handbags with muted, metallic, and earthy color palettes, embossed or woven textures, and eye-catching silhouettes.
Crescent purses, clutches, totes, hobo bags, and bucket shapes are back – in an array of natural or vegan leather materials, pops of pastel or metallic, and even snakeskin shades.
Check out these top 10 exciting and trend-defining bags to carry into 2024.
