Spring is in the air! This means the spring 2024 handbag trends are in the air too, and on the streets; and hopefully on your arm! Love this!

The spring season is all about lighter hues, investment dressing, and easy, breezy styles. Your outfits should not be fussy, and your handbags should be equally effortless. So, if you have been collecting investment bags over the years, you are in luck! If not, then this is the time to start your investments.

Spring 2024 is all about the anonymous handbag, and classic styles. If you have been keeping your Chanel bags in boxes in the back of your closet, pull them out! The chain bag is back with a vengeance; not that it ever went out of style, but you get my drift. So, check out this list, pull from your archives, keep what you wore last year, and invest in what you know you will love for years to come.

Chain Bags: The chain strap shoulder bag never went out of style, but it definitely is having a starlight moment. Pull out your chain bags from the back of your closet if you stored them, and rock them on a daily basis. If you don’t own a chain bag, here are a few in various price ranges which are both classic and fabulous. Love!

Hobo Bags: The hobo bag is still going strong. You can wear soft hobos, structured hobos, large hobos, small, hobos, and everything in between. It’s all about the hobo!

The Anonymous Handbag: Keep on storing your logos, they will return eventually. In the meantime, this is the moment for timeless beauty made from high quality materials, expert craftsmanship, and chic style. People who don’t know, will need to ask. Those who know, will know!

Happy Colors: If you are bored of neutrals and black, this is the season to have a little fun with color. Look for happy colors such as green, yellow, blue and pink. A classic style, with anonymous branding and a fun color will be the perfect pairing to your spring ensembles. I’m a yellow handbag fan myself. Love!

Small totes: The small tote continues to be a favorite handbag style on the streets. It is small in stature yet offers a roomy interior for its size. Plus, small totes are easy to get in and out of while going through a busy day. I recommend one with a zipper for safety on public transportation and in busy areas. My go-to is pictured above. Love it!

Satchels: This classic handbag style is hot in every imaginable version. You can go structured and doctor-bag-like, or soft and slouchy. Also, this includes top handle bags you cannot define, as well as Lady Bags. A satchel with a shoulder strap is the ideal workhorse. As always, I am huge fan of the Givenchy Antigona, but there will be more affordable styles hitting store shelves soon. So, stay tuned if you don’t already have the perfect one!

Here are a few of my favorite, on trend handbags for spring 2024 which also happen to be classic styles you can wear well past spring and 2024.

What is your favorite spring 2024 handbag trend? Stay tuned for more spring coverage, I am just getting started!

Satchels for spring 2024

Classic, duffle-style satchels are hot this year, and chances are, you have one hiding in the back of your closet! Whether you call it a satchel, a small duffle bag, a small weekender, or a doctor bag, this roomy handbag is a great everyday choice for carrying around everything you might need in a day. Love that!

Designers and brands such as Coach, Kate Spade, Tory Burch, Khaite, and more, showed these roomy satchels on their runways for the spring 2024 season. You can choose a structured style such as the Givenchy Antigona, or a softer style from Khaite. The type of fabrication you choose will be both classic and timely for the spring season; just don’t pick the logo fabric, that’s not really “in” right now.

The good thing about this so-called trend, is that it is also a timeless handbag style which you can feel good about investing in for the spring season and beyond. While there are plenty of trendy colors, especially pastels, available for spring 2024, if you are looking for longevity, I would recommend a neutral hue or black. This handbag style will take you well past the spring season and become a staple in your wardrobe for many years. I have had my Givenchy Antigona for close to a decade and I still reach for it often.

Designer or Deal casual tote

affordable version the row margaux

Designer or deal casual tote: designer tote / affordable tote (under $1000) /

This beautiful, soft tote bag from The Row is hotter than hot right now. The catch? It is really expensive! If you don’t mind the price, go for it. The Row Margaux is a beautiful, investment handbag which can be worn for a lifetime. But, if the price is a bit of a shock, there is a similar version in suede which is priced under $1000. Love that!

While the suede version looks floppier in the photos, keep in mind the handbag from The Row is soft leather which gets floppy after being worn for awhile, so they are more apples to apples than the photos suggest.

Which one do you prefer? Designer or deal?

Thanks for stopping by!
