1. East-West Silhouettes
In 2025, East-West bags are making a strong comeback, proving that this horizontal silhouette has enduring appeal. Creative Directors Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons have breathed new life into this retro style with their two-tone interpretations, complete with sleek double straps—we can’t take our eyes off this apple green and navy blue number for Prada SS25. The Attico and Stella McCartney presented sculptural East-West bags, adding modern sophistication to the vintage-inspired trend.
Back by popular demand: Hermès has revisited this bag trend for 2025 and reintroduced the iconic JPG Birkin, or Shoulder Birkin. Originally designed by Jean-Paul Gaultier in 2004, the reissue is scaled down to 29cm, bringing a new twist to the bag’s storied legacy. Dior, leaning into nostalgia, revived its beloved Columbus bag, now fitted with a practical crossbody strap, embodying the quintessential East-West look of the early oughts.
2. Solid Gold
These bags truly serve as jewellery, day or night. In 2025, bold gold accents offer the antidote to Quiet Luxury, drawing inspiration from the extravagant and the surreal. This bag trend traces back to Schiaparelli’s resurgence under creative director Daniel Roseberry and the house’s signature dipped-in-gold designs. For Spring/Summer 2025, Schiaparelli pairs a soft leather bag with a striking, face-shaped gold bangle, adding a whimsical element to a classic bag style. Similarly elegant and free-spirited, Chemena Kamali masters elevated Boho aesthetics for Chloé with shell-shaped gold bags to wear with anything next summer, from beach attire to evening dresses.
Chanel turns heads with an intricate, filigree birdcage bag—an art piece as much as an accessory. Meanwhile, Rabanne revives its iconic 1969 bag, infusing it with disco glamour. For those seeking a subtler take on the 2025 bag trend, oversized gold buckles, as showcased by Balmain, or hammered gold charms featured by Bally, offer an approachable yet chic entry into the golden renaissance.
3. Into The Wild
Exotic or avant-garde, animal and reptile prints adorn bags in all shapes and sizes for 2025. Gucci, under creative Director Sabato De Sarno, infused 60s silhouettes with croc-effect patterns and zebra prints–from the classic Jackie or Bamboo to the new 73 Gucci bucket bag. Adding modern energy to pared-back silhouettes, Dries van Noten, Ferragamo and Antonio Marras presented python prints for all occasions.
Bottega Veneta leans into its artisanal heritage with crocodile-embossed textures, adding depth to its coveted carryalls and clutch designs. Finally, Prada’s boxy bag style–finished in a cheetah print–is a masterclass in statement-making. From office hours to evening events, the animal print bag trend redefines power dressing in 2025.
4. Slouchy Tote Bags
In 2025, slouchy, oversized tote bags embrace laid-back luxury. Designers created effortlessly chic and larger-than-life pieces crafted from soft, luxurious leather with a special focus on suede. Oversized suede totes dominated the Spring/Summer 2025 runways at Vicotria Beckham and Zimmerman, offering both practicality and style in generous proportions.
Miu Miu and Ferragamo tap into the casual charm of this trend by showcasing slouchy suede bags tucked neatly under the arm, exuding an air of relaxed sophistication. Drawing on bohemian flair, Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini added fringed details that swayed with every step. This trend channels a sense of understated elegance, perfect for those seeking a balance between comfort and high fashion.
5. Crystal Clear
If you’re looking for bags to light up your occasion wear, look no further: This bag trend for 2025 shines with unapologetic glamour. In a dazzling showcase at Disneyland Paris, Coperni set the stage with its futuristic Swipe bag. Imagined in partnership with Swarovski, the oval-shaped bag was handcrafted from a 10kg crystal in 110 hours.
Chanel took a more classic approach, debuting an evening-ready Timeless Flap Bag cloaked in silver sequins that catch the light with every move. Louis Vuitton added a touch of contemporary opulence to its iconic Petit Malle bag, now covered entirely in sparkling rhinestones. Similarly opulent, Balmain created a jewel-like minaudière reminiscent of a perfume flacon.
6. Utility Green
No 2025 bag trends report would be complete without a defining colour. Following recent trends in chocolate brown and burgundy red, olive green now sets the tone for an understated yet stylish palette. Hermès leads the way with an unexpected twist on its iconic Birkin bag: The Birkin à l’envers, or ‘upside-down’, crafted from canvas and leather, flipping the classic Birkin 35 inside out.
Mugler complements the trend with an edgy, all-green shoulder bag, while The Row presents a subdued clutch in moss green, offering a sophisticated option. If you’re hunting for your next neutral, an olive or khaki bag offers a chic, versatile alternative to classic black. Rather sporty in its appeal, you can dress it up and down without effort.
7. Vintage Comeback
Vintage bag styles remain central in the 2025 line-up, with designers bringing back beloved handbag icons from the ‘90s and ‘00s following the trend set by Fendi’s Baguette or the Dior Saddle bag. Miu Miu celebrates its Matelassé styles—a Y2K favourite—showcasing intricate quilting that creates a distinctively padded appearance. Louis Vuitton revisited its classic monogram Speedy, adding chain detailing for a contemporary twist. After a decade as creative director, Nicolas Ghesquière also reintroduced the Louis Vuitton Neverfull tote, a true classic, in bright-red croco-embossed leather.
Beyond the Columbus bag’s return to the runway, Dior showcased an Oblique Duffle monogram bag styled nonchalantly under the arm. Hermès joined in with the Picotin, reaffirming the timeless allure of this understated piece. This revival trend signals a broader movement, blending heritage codes with modernity. The beauty of it: You don’t need to buy brand new to stay stylish–on the pre-loved market, you’ll find the OG bags to match the trend.
