There are so many fabulous handbags to covet for the fall 2023 season! Of course, I cannot get all of them, but I sure do have a wish list! haha

As you know, there are many handbag trends for the fall 2023 season which are timeless and chic. I love a beautiful investment bag sans logos. All of the handbags on my wish list are impeccably made with top craftsmanship and the highest quality materials. I love handbags which test time and last forever. These all do that!

My wish list offers a fall 2023 color palette as well as reflects the current trends and offers timeless style. I don’t want to invest in a one season handbag! That is a huge waste of money! I want to be able to reach for my handbag for years to come, and investment styles will allow me to do just that.

This fall 2023 season is all about the anonymous handbag in autumn hues. Totes, satchels, lady bags, shoulder bags and hobos are hot for the fall season. I have wanted a grey handbag, a dark green handbag and darker red handbag forever. I am still hunting for a darker red handbag I can fall in love with, but I have my eyes on a grey one and a dark green one! Love! I do have a classic red handbag on my wish list. It is such a pretty style.

How chic is this slouchy black tote? I am obsessed. I feel like I need it in my life. Love it! The dark green handbag is a classic IT bag which has been around for years, and it will be around for many more! The quality is amazing.

Happy August! This month is going to be very busy! School is starting and my college student will be heading back to the dorms for another year. This means I will be on the go! When my life is busy, I don’t have time for fussy handbags. For August, I will be rotating through my small handbags so I can wear them cross body if need be. I will only be carrying my purse essentials and keeping myself hands free. Busy busy!

August is also a transitional month. It is still summer, yet the stores are stocking beautiful fall merchandise. This makes us all yearn for cooler weather, cozier ensembles, and, at least for me, pumpkin spice. Don’t hate! I love a good pumpkin spice latte, cookies, muffin, etc. Go ahead, call me basic, I don’t really care. haha

Since fall styles are surrounding us, I like to integrate fall trends while still dressing for the weather. The easiest way to do this is with handbags, nail polish, and color. Shades of green are still hot for fall as well as neutral hues, black, and shades of blue and red. I am on the hunt for a forest green handbag, dark brown bag, and a burgundy handbag. In the meantime, I am loving what I have in my closet. They suit my life perfectly right now.

The fall 2023 handbag trends have arrived! While the runways offered many fun handbag styles for the fall and winter seasons, the streets are shying away from kitschy shapes, faux fur and fuzzy bags, as well as overly oversized totes and hobos. Instead, the streets remain slightly more understated and anonymous, as well as classic.

As interest rates rise, shoppers are tending to reach for timeless styles as opposed to one-season-wonders. This is helping to drive the trend towards eschewing trends. Instead, the fashionable set is favoring high quality handbags which are timeless and durable, i.e. high quality, sustainable and offer style longevity.

Therefore, we are eyeing five front runners for IT bag status from the current range of handbag trends. So, without further ado, here are the top five fall 2023 handbag trends to invest in and love well past the fall 2023 season. Love that!

The Anonymous Handbag: Groundbreaking right? You already knew this before you opened this article, so keep your head high and continue to rock your anonymous handbag for the rest of the year and beyond.

The Lady Bag: The top handle handbag is a tried and true classic, which could be why it is exploding this fall season. If you prefer two handles over one, you can rock that too! They are both relevant. Look for an investment style in a neutral or black hue. This is a handbag you will wear forever. Or, perhaps you already own one! If so, take it out of the archives and get it into rotation stat!

Slouchy bags/Hobo bags: The hobo bag is still going strong! You can continue to wear your structured or slouchy hobo bag. When looking at slouchy styles, look for thick and buttery leather which feels like it could melt in your hands. It’s all about high quality and longevity.

Shoulder bags: The classic shoulder bag continues to go strong! You can look at adjustable straps which can be worn cross body as well as embroidered straps, classic leather straps and chains. The chain strap is a classic and popular strap for the shoulder bag. Look for thinner chains, the chunky chain is over.

Slouchy tote bags: A structured tote is all well and good, but a slouchy and luscious tote is best. Look for high quality, butter-like leather in a large and slouchy tote. You can wear it to work, for travel, or anything! Totes are amazing and versatile. Go slouchy!

There you have it! The top five handbag trends for the fall 2023 season. Also, keep in mind the popular fall handbag colors are neutrals, black, shades of white, shades of green, shades of pink, and shades of red.
