The Ultimate Guide: Fall Handbags

You know it the moment you see it; it stops you dead in your tracks and it’s love at first sight. It’s the bag you just have to have. That’s exactly how we feel about these amazing fall handbag selections.

This season’s handbags are more polished and elegant – we are seeing more sophisticated silhouettes than usual. But if it’s edgy you are into, there are still plenty of options for you. Whatever you desire, these are the best looking bags to compliment your fall outfit. Scroll through to view our favorite fall handbags!

Saddle Bags

The round-shaped crossbody may remind us of the Wild West, but this season the saddle gets a modern makeover.

Fringe and Tassel Bags

Fringe and tassels were welcomed with open arms in the Summer, and they are here to stay for Fall. Think suede dark tones in fringe and tassels of all scales mixed right into your favorite bodies. Time to be playful and add some fun to your look.

Boxy

First rule of the box bag: don’t think of it as a lunchbox, because it’s far from it. Count on this bag to hold all your belongings without anything inside getting bent out of shape. In this season’s most desirable colors and embellishments, you’ll be one step ahead of the fashion crowd.

Tote

Less is more here when it comes to details, and the bigger the tote, the better. No need to pick and choose what you can fit into your bag, because with all this space, everything goes. For work to weekend, choose from the sharp and structured options here.

Snakeskin

Let your wild side come out with a snakeskin bag. When you’re tired of patterns, animal prints are the next best thing.

Slip Through Clutches

Finally, a going-out clutch that’s stylish and a little easier to hold on to. With its wide front band, we have more control over the grasp. It’s redefining the meaning of arm candy, and we’re on board with that.
