The fashion scene is bracing for a serious bag revolution in 2025, all thanks to a season of unforgettable fashion weeks. If you’re as obsessed as we are, then get ready: Next year, it’s all about extremes. From puffy pillow purses to bucket bags with personality, 2025’s bags aren’t just accessories—they’re calling the shots in the style game.
Here are the bags that’ll define your style in 2025:
Bucket bags are back with a twist
Once upon a time, the bucket bag was Louis Vuitton’s clever solution for carrying champagne bottles. Fast forward to 2025, and Gucci and Hermès are putting their spin on this classic with chic. Spacious designs that go from office elegance to evening allure. If you opt for sleek leather or a textured, sculptural masterpiece, bucket bags are more than functional—they’re fashion in a bucket!
Big clutches: Drama meets daytime
Clutches are no longer reserved for evenings out. This year, Miu Miu, Gucci, and Coach introduced us to the oversized clutch—a perfect union of drama and daytime wearability. Think big, soft silhouettes in unexpected textures and colours. Bringing a fresh, playful edge to your daily looks. These clutches are fun, bold, and let’s be for real, a little extra. But isn’t that what we all need sometimes?
Large & slouchy: The effortless statement
Roomy bags are taking centre stage in 2025, and brands like Kai Collective, Chloe, and Phillip Lim are making sure you’ll be stylishly equipped for any occasion. The new slouchy bags are less about strict structure and more about freedom. Embracing fluid shapes that drape comfortably against your body. Newly launched Kai Collective’s London bag, with its soft, oversized silhouette, captures the laid-back essence that makes these bags a fashion staple. That effortlessly makes a statement while fitting in all the essentials with ease.
Padded & puffy: Bags you’ll want to hug
The puffer trend has moved from jackets to bags, and it’s a look we can’t resist. Designers like Heliot Emil, and Issey Miyake are embracing padded, cloud-like bags that scream comfort without sacrificing style. These plush beauties invite you to go big on cosiness, bringing warmth and whimsy to any outfit. They’re tactile, eye-catching, and undeniably fun. A perfect remedy to boring handbags.
Straw & fringe: A summer love story
Nothing captures the essence of summer quite like straw and fringe bags, and this year’s runways at Hermès, Zimmerman, and Michael Kors proved the trend has serious staying power. Add fringe into the mix, and you have bags that move with you. With a beachy, boho flair, these bags bring a breezy, carefree vibe to your wardrobe. Whether you’re jet-setting or just dreaming of a getaway.
Charm it up
Bag charms are no longer an afterthought. In 2025, they’re an essential part of the bag itself, giving you a unique way to make any bag your own. Coach and Coperni are leading the way with charms that range from playful pom-poms to edgy metal details. Personalise it, add a splash of whimsy, or make a bold statement—whatever your vibe, there’s a charm for it.
So, if you’ve been waiting for a sign to treat yourself to a new bag, consider this your cue. From big and slouchy to padded and cosy, or refined yet playful, there’s a bag ready to be your style sidekick this year. Time to get carried away!
