These are the up-to-the-minute styles from ladylike luxe to hobo totes.
Spring is the perfect time to add some new handbags to your collection. Regarding your hardest-working accessory, you can never have too many spring bags! Do you have any specific style or color for your new handbags?
With a switch in season, the easiest way to update your capsule wardrobe, occasion wear, and fun, accessible favorites is with something new to hold.
Best of all, if you can’t decide which key trend to tap into, ‘bag layering’ is right up there.
“Whether you need the extra storage space or want to make a statement, the double bag trend is set to be in this spring,” says Nia Davis, designer at handbag and accessory brand Fiorelli.
To master the trend, opt for a medium-sized, minimalist base like a black tote. If you prefer designer logos, that’s fine too… “And pair it with a mini or crossbody bag for an added layer of texture, color, or shape.”
“Here is a guide on how to stay up-to-date with the latest trends in spring bags.”
1. Ladylike Shoulder HandBag
Understated luxury and pastel shades are in. A shoulder bag in a neutral hue is timeless. Peach or putty pink are great options.
“Spring acts as a soothing and elevated palette cleanser before the new summer season arrives,” says Zizi Hill, Radley design director. As she points out: “Intricate leather, plush suedes, and faux snake and croc add dimension and luxe.”

2. Elegant top handles
Due to their timeless and elegant design, Davis predicts top-handle bags will be among the most popular spring bags this season. Their sleek and simple silhouettes will complement any outfit, making them a versatile and practical choice for everyday use. If you want to update your spring wardrobe, a top-handle bag should be on your list!
“Perfect for understated and chic styling, they can be worn multiple ways, depending on the occasion.
“This season, the details are up to you, leaving room for personal expression. Furthermore, whether it’s playful colorways or refined detailing like unique handles, the classic style is bound to feel fun again.

3. Half moon
The crescent shape is here to stay, and we look forward to wearing—or holding them—with lighter layers and sheer fabrics in the months ahead.
Indeed, Thomasine Jordan, global design & product director, LK Bennett, says their chest bag has become one of their bestselling styles as the crossbody bag trend continues: “And we love the new dusky pink colour way this season.”
Meanwhile, Ria Campbell, head of PR at Monsoon, says the demand for half-moon bags has soared—and they’ve embraced the trend with a new clasp-shut crossbody bag in radiant red. It’s “a chic investment in a timeless accessory that promises to endure the ever-changing waves of fashion.”

4. Slouchy hobo
“Hobo bags are going to be one of the trendiest silhouettes to carry around this season, as the oversized tote bag has moved into a new, slouchy direction,” says Davis.
These bags are easy to carry, spacious, and perfect for daily use.
And for maximum impact, the bigger the better.

5. Woven
Building on the basket bag trend, woven and raffia styles have had an update with trimmings and ruffles…
“Usually associated with beachy escapes, woven style bags are set to be more popular than ever this season,” says Davis.
“Spring bags are all about variety, and woven bags come in so many different variations that are perfect for the season. You can find structured basket bags, rope-like designs, and woven handle detailing in materials like straw, leather, rope, and raffia. It’s no wonder why they are trending this season,” she highlights.
