Fall Handbags That I’m Loving for 2024

As we transition into fall, it’s time to refresh your handbag collection with styles that are both chic and functional. The right handbag can elevate any outfit and seamlessly integrate into your wardrobe. These fall handbags are mostly classic in style, so you will have them for years to come. I did, however, add two trends that we are seeing this season. And these bags, the rouge red and the charmed bags are both fun styles that will blend seamlessly into your wardrobe. Here are five fall handbags I’m loving for 2024, each offering a unique blend of style and practicality.

The Structured Tote

The structured tote remains a classic staple this fall, offering ample space for all of your essentials while maintaining a polished and chic look. The bag I have below is the Prada Saffiano Galleria Tote and I have had this tote since 2011. Definitely an investment item, but when you look at the cost spread out over 10 years, it’s about $225 a year. I’d rather buy one handbag that I can have for years and years then 15 bags from Target that add up to more than $225. You can also shop consignment and save a ton.

Having said that, I get that designer bags are not everyone’s cup of tea, so I am also sharing my picks for more affordable options ranging in price from $60-$600.

My Top Picks For Fall Handbags | Totes

• Why I Love It: Perfect for both work and weekend outings, this versatile bag can hold everything from your laptop to everyday essentials, all while looking effortlessly sophisticated and chic at any budget.

The Classic Clutch

The clutch is back in style this fall, moving beyond just evening wear. Opt for an oversized clutch in luxurious materials like leather or suede for a day-to-night option. Look for unique textures, such as embossed leather or quilted patterns, providing a contemporary twist on a timeless accessory.

I love envelope clutches, also a great way to get into the designer market without completely breaking the bank. This is the Louis Vuitton Daily Pouch and I use this a ton for nights out when I don’t need to carry a lot, and it often travels with me for work or vacation. There are great deals on these on consignment here. And while I LOVE my designer bags, I also love affordable bags that I can add into my wardrobe where I have gaps in colors or styles.

This sweet little evening clutch is less than $20! And I’m pretty sure nobody would ever think that. It has the cutest ring to slip your finger through, making it look like jewelry. While I love my designer bags, you don’t have to break the bank to look like you did.

• Why I Love It: A clutch adds an instant touch of elegance to any outfit, perfect for when you want to keep your look sleek and carry just the essentials.

The Rouge Red Trend Handbag

One of the standout trends this fall is the vibrant rouge red handbag. This bold color adds a pop of excitement to any outfit and is perfect for making a statement. Choose red handbags in various styles, from structured top handles to playful crossbodies, to add flair to your wardrobe. I’m opting for bluer reds here but you can also go for bolder, brighter tones if that suits you.

For me, this season, I have my eye on a gently used Cartier bag. And for Cartier, the price is pretty good (it sold for $165). You can check out this bag style here. Sadly, I didn’t move quickly enough and it sold. But it’s on my watch list.

My Top Picks For Fall Handbags | The Reds

• Why I Love It: The rouge red handbag is a fantastic way to introduce a bold color into your wardrobe without going overboard. It’s eye-catching, stylish, and pairs beautifully with both neutral and colorful outfits.

The Top Handle Satchel

For a blend of modern style and vintage charm, the top handle satchel is a must-have this season. This structured style offers both functionality and elegance, ideal for enhancing both casual and dressier looks. Look for satchels with unique details like woven textures or sleek metal hardware to elevate your style.

This one I have had since Fall 2023 and I use it regularly. It also comes with a longer strap to wear on your shoulder or as a crossbody. It looks just like the Celine Mini Besace Cleai that sells for $2700. I loved it so much I purchased it in cream and black. You can find this bag here. It comes in black, white, tan, red and pink currently. And it’s only $29.

The Quilted Bag

Quilted shoulder bags are a timeless favorite and a major trend for fall 2024. This style combines luxury and comfort, often featuring plush, padded exteriors and gold or silver chain straps. Choose one in a deep hue like navy or black for a classic look, or go for a jewel-toned option to add a splash of color.
