The Most Popular Bag Trends in 5 Different Countries

The change of the season brings about a massive wardrobe shift. This includes everything from swapping tank tops for sweaters, trading sandals for boots, and everything in between. Some of that in-between also entails is a massive accessory overhaul, specifically in the handbag department. This fall, there are ample amounts of fresh handbag trends to choose from, but instead of looking right under our noses, this time, we went global. We reached out to one of the most diverse retailers in the industry for an inside look at five handbag trends blowing up all over the world. 

Farfetch, a beloved shopping platform, brings together designers and boutiques from all around the world. If there’s anyone who’d be able to give us an inside look at what’s trending worldwide, it would be one of the e-tailer’s experts. Enter Celenie Seidel, senior womenswear editor at Farfetch, who was kind enough to fill us in on the biggest handbag trends in five different countries. 

Ahead, check out the results of Celenie’s research, and shop her picks within each trend.

Every Fall Trend Our Editors Care About Is at Target

Now that Labor Day has come and gone, it’s time we shifted our attention to all things fall fashion. At this point, we’ve covered all the big trends, and now it’s time to start being picky about which ones we’re really adding to our wardrobes. Just like we do at the top of every month, we just dropped a fresh collection from our Who What Wear line, and this month, it’s filled with all the season’s most important trends to get your closet ready for the season ahead.

With so many new arrivals to choose from, we’re not being shy about playing favorites. From the leather trend everyone’s talking about right now to the puff-sleeved pieces that will earn you so many compliments, these are the only fall trends our editors have eyes for. If you’re familiar with our line, you’ll know that everything from the collection is (as always) available in sizes XS to 4X and under $60 (er, under $50 in the case of this drop).

Yep, utility-inspired pieces are still at the top of our shopping lists for fall. The trend has proved its staying power, and we’re doubling down on our commitment to the cargo pieces because 1) they look super cool, and 2) their neutral tones pretty much go with everything.
