Coach is having a moment. They have always been a classic and iconic American handbag brand, but their spring 2022 handbag collection is out of this world. Coach has branched out, pushed the envelope, and hit a home run. I am loving it!
Last September, when Coach first showed their spring 2022 collection on the runway, I snapped up an early release of their small Cashin 22 tote. I absolutely adore this bag and enjoy wearing it often. There were several other bags on the runway I spotted, and I am still waiting for a few of those to appear on store shelves. For example, there is a brown version of the Cashin 22 tote I need in my life as well as a purple version. You cannot go wrong with a classic square tote which is small in stature yet large on the inside. Love that!
In addition to the small Cashin 22, Coach has a larger carryall for spring 2022 named the Cashin 32. I am in love with the green version as it will fit daily handbag essentials as well as a laptop. The green offers beautiful color saturation as well as that traditional Coach quality we have all come to love. It’s a clean looking bag and the green hue gives it a little bit of pizzaz. Love!
See that yellow shoulder bag in my collage? It also comes in a minty green. The leather is amazing, and it has two straps, much like my little swinger bag, which makes it quite versatile. I know I will buy one of them, but I am torn on color. It’s a fabulous bag in an edgy color, love that! There are more neutral versions of the bag, but they don’t offer that fun, alternate color cross body strap, only a matching cross body strap. Which is fine. . .but there is something about that fun pink strap. . .
What do you think of the Coach spring 2022 handbag collection? Are you snapping up at least one of the bags?
As you know, spring 2022 is all about smaller handbags, and lots of colors! In addition to small and colorful, we are looking at handbag styles for spring 2022 which can be found in many of our closets. The hottest handbag trends for spring 2022 include the bucket, the small tote, top handle bags, the continuation of the pouch and the hobo handbag.
Since I was a huge bucket bag fan seven to eight years ago when the Mansur Gavriel bucket bag reached its insane IT bag status, I knew I had this trend in my closet to shop. While spring 2022 is bringing us new versions of the bucket bag, I prefer to stick with the classic that I already own. I decided for spring 2022, I would pull my pink bucket bag out of the back of my closet. I have found myself reaching for it often already! It’s so easy to wear and has fabulous interior capacity. Plus, the light pink hue freshens up a foggy day and adds a touch of spring to my overall look; even in my workout cloths. haha Mansur Gavriel has a lot of really pretty colors in stock for spring, just in case you didn’t invest in one the first time around. You can see them all here.
The small tote bag is a great returning trend too. I had this blue tote bag in the back of my closet, and it’s still in stores! I love how small tote bags give the illusion of being a small handbag but are actually quite roomy inside. The cross body strap on most small totes comes in handy too. Love that!
This fabulous yellow tote was from Coach’s spring 2022 runway. They released a small batch right during New York Fashion Week, but plan to release more very soon. I will keep you updated for their in-stock return! In the meantime, they do have larger versions of this classic tote online. I love the neutral hues and the green.
The hobo bag and the pouch are continuing to be hot in 2022. So, if you already invested in these two styles, keep wearing them! If you don’t have a hobo yet, you can still invest in one, they will stick around awhile. Love!

Which handbag styles are you wearing for the spring 2022 season?
The 2022 IT bags are here, setting the handbag trends 2022 in motion. We are seeing a mix of continuing IT bags from previous years, a few classic handbags, and newcomers for 2022 which will knock your socks off. Ready? Let’s go!
The year is giving us small handbags which offer a simpler silhouette than we have seen in previous years. IT bags for 2022 are also offering retro vibes from the 1990s through to 2022.
Here’s a snapshot: The pouch; modern and continuing from the last few years. The bowler; retro vibes and new for 2022. See that small black Dior bag? It’s a classic IT bag you might have invested in years ago, it’s hotter than hot this year. There’s an IT bag for everyone this year, and I am here for it!
So, without further ado, here is a breakdown of the 2022 handbag trends:
Hobos bags: Hobo bags are a huge classic style from the late 1900’s, and they started to finally have a comeback last year. In 2022 you can expect structured, soft and slouchy, as well as moon shaped styles which will offer architecture and geometry. Look for circles and fun, rounded styles that aren’t exactly circle bags from five years ago.
The Pouch: this daytime clutch style is still running strong! Look for large, medium, and small sizes. Simple pouch bags and pouch bags with cross body straps or chain straps are also still hot. Keep wearing your pouch!
Bucket bags: The classic bucket is back, and there are two styles to covet this year. Look for classic buckets such as the iconic Mansur Gavriel bucket bag, or look for bucket bags which mimic a pail. There isn’t one standout, must-have bucket. If you have a Mansur Gavriel bucket in your closet, go ahead and rock it this year.
Small Square Tote: The tote bag is a classic which is always in style, but for 2022, look for small, square tote bags. All the designers are coming out with their own version of this iconic style. They are the perfect size for daily use without being huge work bags. Many square totes also include a cross body strap. Love that! The Dior style is the IT bag in this category but look for some fabulous affordable versions coming from Coach this spring!
Bowler Bags: The bowling bag is back! Dior launched a collection of bowlers for the cruise 2022 season, and they are already sweeping the streets. If you have the cash, this is the IT bag to invest in for 2022. I will watch for more affordable versions as the year progresses, and I will definitely share them with you! This is a great style which isn’t too big, yet still offers a good amount of interior capacity. Bowler bags are also less bulky than those large canvas statement totes everyone has been rocking the last few years from Dior.
Micro-mini bags: I’m not sure why this trend keeps on trending, but it does! The smaller and less practical your bag, the better! Look for small and nano sized bags from most designers this year. If you don’t need a place for your phone, then these are great bags. If you need a bag for your phone, go with the small size instead of nano or micro. Just sayin’.
Lady Bags: The Lady Bag is back, and she never really left. This is the single top handle bag which is a classic satchel or tote style. The Balenciaga Hourglass top handle bag is a big one for 2022. There are also plenty of choices in this style if the Hourglass isn’t your thing. Love this classic and chic style!
Well, those are the handbag trends 2022 we are watching this year. Now, in addition to handbag trends, we have the ultimate IT designers to carry around in 2022. After all, anything from these designers is considered an IT bag and can be deemed gold.
IT designers of 2022: Not interested in the exact IT bag from the streets, but want to carry an IT designer? Here is the IT list! Look for anything by Bottega Veneta, Balenciaga, Gucci, Dior, Chanel, Prada, Coach, Jaquemus, Louis Vuitton, and Hermes.
Of course, there are IT colors too! Luckily 2022 is all about a rainbow of hues. You can rock neutral hues such as black, shades of brown, beige, tan, ivory, and white, or you can look for bright colors from the rainbow. Pastel bags are good too, but the brighter, the better.
The biggest IT bags of the year are pictured in the collage above. Which one if your favorite?
