While handbags are an essential accessory all year-round, spring evokes a certain desire for new investments. As the season shifts, and one can get more creative with accessories, the urge to change bags with every outfit is palpable. A good bag should add character to your outfit, be the last piece to the puzzle. Among the stand out styles for spring/summer '25 you find the bucket bag (belted if you ask Miuccia Prada and unadorned t if you ask Nicolas Ghesquière) along with the new version of Alaïa's now day's iconic sausage bag. And what would a round-up of spring bags even be without mentioning the enduring It-bag of the warmer months: the crochet raffia bag. This season the raffia bag is reimagined with interesting shapes and details, note Chloé's top handle version, Michael Kors' clutch style The Row utilising it as a pop of colour.

Find below our handpicked selection of the eight very best handbag trends to shop and wear for spring/summer 25.

Bucket bag

After each season, there’s a brief moment of pause between the runway and the store shelves – a fleeting period before the fashion world settles on the key investments for the upcoming season. This year, it didn’t take long for the bucket bag to rise as the It-bag, with Milan Fashion Week taking the lead. Following Gucci’s and Prada’s runway shows, the deal was sealed: the bucket bag is the perfect choice for spring 2025.

Pop of colour

Though often small in size, the handbag remains a powerful fashion statement that can define your entire look. While the SS25 ready-to-wear collection trends leaned more toward fit and texture rather than bold colours, one of the season’s standout trends for handbags is an unapologetic burst of color. Whether it's Jacquemus' striking citrus shades or Chanel's eye-catching pastels, dare to infuse your spring ensemble with a striking hue.

Sausage bag

It typically takes three iterations for something to earn the title of 'classic' – and when it comes to accessory trends, the sausage bag has long surpassed that milestone, firmly establishing itself as iconic. First introduced by Fendi for SS16 and later by Alaïa for SS17, the bag has since been reinvented in countless variations. This particular design remains one of the most updated bags, with many brands adding their signature twist. Magda Butrym has infused it with their signature roses, Miu Miu has given it a sport-inspired edge, and Mulberry has incorporated its classic flap design. Alaïa, ever the innovator, continues to refresh the bag with new materials, most recently transforming it into a sleek clutch for SS25.

Slouchy bags

May this trend be here to stay. Relaxed and effortlessly put-together is a mood most people strive for when getting dressed in the morning. Now, imagine investing in a bag that effortlessly achieves this for you every time you wear it. A slouchy leather bag not only adds a fashionable touch, but it will only get better with time. There's no need to worry about it losing its shape – this spring, the slouchier, the better.

Black leather bags

Black leather bags remain a timeless staple in fashion (cue the cheer of approval from the crowd). However, this season, the creative directors have spoken, and the top handle bag is taking centre stage. The iterations vary: Louis Vuitton takes a double-handled approach, Dior is slightly distressed, JW Anderson with signature origami detailing. But one thing is consistent throughout – a top handle black leather bag will be with you for life.

Crochet raffia bags

If you prefer to make an investment in something timeless rather than trend-driven, a crochet raffia bag is an excellent choice. This classic piece makes its appearance on the runway nearly every spring season, making it a reliable investment that remains on trend year after year. Of course, fit, shape, and color vary, and this season, designers have taken a more experimental approach with the details. Think leather straps, metallic handles, and playful shapes, all adding fresh twists to this enduring accessory.
