The bag trends to invest in this autumn

 
Along with the start of a new season comes the perfect excuse to mix up your handbag repertoire. With cooler climes and heavier wardrobes falling into place, now is the time to start switching out your city straws and colourful totes for an altogether more autumnal palette. This season's styles are particularly alluring and we've identified the ones that are going to have a big impact throughout the rest of the year - from chic tote bags to logo-emblazoned styles, these are the autumn/winter 2020 bag trends we can't wait to get our hands on this season.

Living it large



Micro handbag trends are great and all, but if you're the kind of person who carries their life in their bag from dawn to dusk, you need a sidekick that doesn't mess around. You’re in luck - the roomy tote bag is here to stay for another season, with the likes of Bottega Veneta, Loewe and Fendi all supersizing their bags. Not only are they back, they’re supersized enough to accommodate the woman that wants to take everything with her – and we mean everything. If the parachute-sized bags of the runway are a little OTT for your morning commute, a sizeable tote will do the trick for everyday life.

No quaint quilt


A bag we can rest our head on even if we can’t show it off to its full potential right now seems like a good idea to us. While It seems like every fashion girl has recently been snapped toting around a quilted bag (just look to Rosie Huntington-Whiteley for evidence), but we saw them descend onto the catwalks first - Tibi debuted classic-looking chain strap, stitched leather iterations while the quilted bags at Bottega Veneta were extra plush. Black and cream are, of course, a fail-safe option to add to your accessories line-up, while statement shades such as rich reds and rusty oranges will invigorate your everyday outfits.

Red alert 


Red was quite simply the colour of the AW20 shows, as seen on the runways of Hermès, Balmain and Issey Miyake (to name a few) and has quickly embedded itself into everything from knitwear to outerwear. The colour of strength and rebellion (and love), its appearance in our lives right now couldn't be more apt. Our favourite way to wear it? In handbag form. Whether you like your red rich, tomatoey or in high-shine, there's a shade and style out there to suit. Top of our shopping lists? Offerings from Mario Valentino, Lauren by Ralph Lauren and Mulberry, who all offer up their own take on the trend. Treat it as your new neutral and pair with almost anything.

Name check 


Our obsession with all things '90s is showing no sign of slowing down, with branded tops, tees and belts still taking centre stage in our wardrobes. This season, pledge allegiance to your favourite label by choosing their very own branded offering as your new seasonal arm candy. Depending on your style, go for a loud-and-proud name emblazoned across the front - leaving no room for doubt of its origin - a la Mario Valentino or Love Moschino, or dabble in bags coated in your favourite designer's logo - a key trend from the catwalks to the shops, with the likes of Tommy Hilfiger offering fun, wearable options.
