Spring is in full swing, this means we all need to make sure we have current IT bags within our reach. This spring 2023 season, the handbag trends reflect the overall trends in handbags for the year, making it easy to rotate our handbags from our closets. Love that!

Mini Satchels

The mini satchel is continuing its popularity in the spring 2023 season. This cute little bag offers a top handle and a shoulder strap which you can choose to wear on your shoulder, or cross body. Although, this year, it’s way cooler to wear it on your shoulder.

If you have a mini satchel in your closet from a past season, fabulous! Pull it out from your archives and rock it! If not, look for one in a neutral hue you can wear with anything, such as this black satchel. Love!

Denim handbags

Denim handbags are a hot trend. If you love ultra-trendy looks, this is your bag of the season. If you are more of an investment bag person, then this is a trend to pass on. I love the casual look of the denim handbag. Such a fun trend!

Top handle bucket bags

The classic bucket has a twist this season! Bucket bags with top handles are hotter than hot this season, and they are also a classic style. So, if you want to invest in a bucket with a handle, look for a neutral color or black so it has staying power in your closet. Love that!

Hobo bags

The hobo bag is still going strong! Chances are, you already have one in your closet. If not, go ahead and invest in a clean, chic hobo bag.

Neutral or bright or metallic

Neutral handbags are hot this year, but if you want to mix things up, metallic and ultra bright pastels are hot for spring. Look for bright lilac, neon yellow, bright medium pink, and neon light green. Fire!

Straw handbags

Straw and natural fiber bags are still hot this season. If you have one from last year, you are all set! If not, why not invest in a medium size, straw or natural fiber bag you can wear daily. The tropical vacation vibe is everything this season. Love!

Shoulder bags

Shoulder bags are still going strong. Look for a chic, simple bag in a neutral hue. Classic Chesnut brown is huge this year as well as beige, white and classic black. Love a good investment bag.

Sustainable handbags

It’s cool to be sustainable. After all, you are saving the planet. Love that! Look for handbags made from non-leather, sustainable materials such as this cute little bio tote by Tory Burch. Love it!

Anonymous bags

The golden rule this season is to wear and purchase bags which are anonymous. They can have a single logo which is understated, or stamp of the designer’s name in a small, discreet manner, but no loud logos or bags which shout at you. It’s all about clean lines, and quiet luxury. Those who know, know!

There you have it! The hottest handbag trends of spring 2023. Which handbag trend is your favorite?

Thanks for stopping by!

The spring 2023 season is all about shoulder bags, hobo bags, small top handle bags, and the anonymous handbag. While I am on the hunt for the perfect top handle bag, my spring handbag capsule is full of my shoulder bags and hobo bags which are small or medium in size. They are also my bags without obvious logos.

While many handbags have a logo on them, since designers and brands like to identify themselves, the idea this season is not to wear a bag which screams the designers’ name. If the logo is large, and part of the design, then it is too loud for spring 2023. The idea is to have a bag people will have look closely at to identify, or even ask you about. That is the anonymous handbag.

In addition to the anonymous handbag, the size this season is small to medium. While the runways have also shown oversized bags you can fit the kitchen sink inside, the streets have not taken to the trend. If you want to try and bring it to the streets, power to you, but remember, you will need to allocate extra time in your schedule for finding your car keys. Those bags are huge!
