According to British Vogue , practicality dominated the runways this fall and winter. This also affected handbag trends. With their versatility and ease of use, some bags are worthy investments.

Ladylike style clutch

On many Fall - Winter 2024 runways, clutches were designed with a strong feminine style, expressing the elegant style of high-class ladies (ladylike).

Clutch designs this season are extremely diverse, from small envelope-shaped shapes to hold in hand, to large rectangular shapes to clip to the body or place under the arm (Photo: Ferragamo, Proenza Schouler, Versace).

Decorative handbags

In Fall - Winter 2024, the Birkin bag with decorations that Jane Birkin used is an inspiration for many designers. The bags look new and unique when decorated with jewelry, accessories or small, pretty items (Photo: Fendi, Coach, Burberry, Miu Miu).

Cargo bag

Cargo bags (a bag with many compartments in a boxy shape) have "made waves" on many Fall - Winter 2024 runways. Many compartments mean increased storage space, as well as the practicality of the handbag (Photo: Chloé, Chanel).

"East-West" handbags

The “East-West” bag, with its elongated horizontal shape (stretching from East to West), is all the rage this fall. It looks sophisticated when worn on the shoulder or tucked under the arm (Photo: Jil Sander, Alaïa).
