This is the golden era of handbags. We are no longer bound to expensive designer handbags adorned with recognizable logos and wannabe status silhouettes. The current IT bag is not recognizable. It is made with quality materials and craftsmanship, and it is an investment which will withstand the test of time. Love that!

Spring 2025 is all about quality, and the handbag styles we are loving right now include slouchy bucket bags, east/west bags, belted totes, studded handbags, boxy bags, mini baguettes, and hobo handbags. In addition, suede, neutral hues, shades of mocha, and flat studs or grommets are hotter than hot right now. So, look in your closet and pull out what you have stored and what you have been wearing for the past few years, because they are still hot!

When it comes to investing in a new handbag this season, this golden era of handbags is offering us plenty of options priced well under $1000, $500, and even $200. Love that!

So, without further ado, here are my favorite spring 2025 handbags priced under $1000 which also make fabulous investment handbags.

What is your favorite handbag this season?

Thanks for stopping by!

Loving that the anonymous handbag is still hotter than hot. This year we will see a continuation of logoless IT bags. The silhouettes of the season will continue to be east/west bags, slouchy buckets, hobos, studs and grommets, belted totes, doctor bags, shades of mocha, and classic black.

Although I have a spring handbag wish list, my spring capsule wardrobe continues to be my investment bags from last year, and farther back in time. These silhouettes continue to be popular in 2025 and show no sign of slowing down. I love a high-quality handbag without an obvious logo!

In 2025, the new IT bag is one that people cannot recognize and is also reasonably priced. Gone are the days of paying for a name and not quality. IT bags are all about high quality, fair pricing, no logos, and an “If you know, you know” vibe. Seen as IYKYK on social media. haha

So, this spring season and beyond, look for high quality, unknown handbags. Love that!

Handbag wish list 2025

There are so many fabulous handbags out there for 2025, it is really hard to narrow them down into a shopping list! So, I picked six handbags I feel like I would get a lot of use out of and would also fit into my California Casual style. Of course, the anonymous handbag is hotter than hot, so that makes it easy for me to create a fabulous handbag wish list sans logos. But, it also gives me way too many handbags to choose from! I love so many!

This year, I am going to try and stick with neutrals and smaller to medium sized bags. I don’t really carry a lot, and if I do, I already have several large totes to choose from. Um, when I type that it seems like I have a shopping tote problem, but I don’t. You can never have enough totes! They always come in handy at some point!

The handbag trends this year include timeless styles which are truly investment handbags. We are looking at slouchy bucket bags, suede handbags, east/west silhouettes, the return of studs and grommets, boxy bags, small baguette styles, neutral colors, and quality without logos. Love that!

I already feel like I have some handbags which fit into these trends, so this year, I am filling out my collection with at least one more east/west bag, a boxy tote, and I need a grommet bag in my life. Love!

Which handbag styles are on your wish list this year?

Thanks for stopping by!
