The Biggest Handbag Trends for Spring 2024
Macramé totes, chain details, chic carry-alls and more.
Launchmetrics Spotlight
In the fall, the SS24 collections served up no shortage of handbag inspiration—and now, with Spring on the horizon, it’s time to work them into our wardrobes. From gargantuan totes à la Bottega Veneta and woven purses courtesy of Gabriela Hearst to soft pouched clutches by Carven and chunky chained shoulder bags from Givenchy, we’ve rounded up five runway-inspired Spring 2024 bag trends we’re currently fixated on and where to shop them at all price points.
Spring 2024 Bag Trends:
Ultra Oversized
Bottega Veneta SS24 / Launchmetrics Spotlight
This spring, the bigger your bag, the better. Swap out your micro mini purses and tiny totes for bags of XL proportions — ludicrously capacious, even. It’s the trend approved by luxe labels like Bottega Veneta, Victoria Beckham and Loewe. Whether you wear it over the shoulder or held by a top handle, it doesn’t matter— the only requirement is that it’s gigantic.
