Last year, celebrities and influencers embraced polished handle satchels, cute micro wallets, and even some millennial baguette bags for a nostalgic vibe. A new year may come with exciting new accessories, but we plan to move forward with some of the bags from the past year that are still hitting home hard. From fluffy bags to sleek saddles, from bold shades to smart closures: bags are getting seriously playful and our editors aren’t the only ones clinging to the past.
Let’s unpack the 7 cool handbag trends of 2024 that will take over the streets…
#1. Designer links
Compact clutches were clean and minimalist last year, but for 2024 it’s all about taking your eveningwear to the next level with high-shine geometric clutches in metallic leather or glitter acrylic. With disco likely to make a big comeback, these flashy bags are perfect to add some glamor to your night out.

#2. Sleek saddle designs
Equestriancore is constantly galloping forward, while saddlebag variations are still very trendy. But this year’s versions ditch the supercasual vibe for more refined, sculptural silhouettes. Luxe leather, curved shapes and elegant hardware: these hybrid crossbody bags add a sophisticated touch for day and night, while still nodding to that cool equestrian aesthetic.

Forget about coordinating your outfit perfectly. The new matchy-matchy game is your heels and handbag. Brands are releasing head-to-toe collections, combining statement pumps and mini wallets in the same colors and patterns. Whether it concerns floral embroidery, animal prints or bright pink leather, ‘twinning’ styling your accessories is the nicest new twist in the color game.
