Handbags are getting softer, and even more anonymous than last year! As we move into 2025, the IT bag is unrecognizable and will force people to ask you what you are carrying. Love this!
Many brands and designers have been exposed for over-charging for their handbags. This has created an even bigger backlash towards logos and handbag styles which are recognizable. Even if a bag does not have a logo, but is easily named by one glance, it is over and out. This has created a vacuum which is elevating less expensive handbags, as well as everyday brands and emerging designers to the forefront of the IT bag world.
The biggest trends in handbags are silhouettes, quality of materials, and craftsmanship. Look for strong bags which can withstand your lifestyle. Also look for strong stitches and flawless craftsmanship. Surprisingly, you can find these bags for under $1000, under $500, and even under $200! All of the bags featured above are under $1000. Love that!
So, as you find your anonymous handbag for the winter season, as well as the entirety of 2025, there are a few silhouettes you will want to focus on.
Moon Shaped Bags: The moon shaped bag is still going strong in 2025. A derivative of the hobo handbag, the moon shaped bag can also double as a mini shoulder bag; another emerging trend in the new year.
Slouchy Bucket Bags: This trend is staying put. If you already have one, fabulous! If not, invest in one for the new year. It is a great “everything” bag as well as an alternative to the tote. The ones featured above are under $200. Love!
Suede: This soft fabrication is continuing well into 2025. Since soft is the fabric type of the moment, suede fits right in. Love that!
Belted Satchels: Satchels and east/west totes are getting belted. You will be hard-pressed to not see this style in stores and on the street. My favorite is the one featured above, but they are everywhere. This style can be structured or slouchy, depending on your mood.
Small Shoulder Bags: The mini shoulder bags, and baguettes, of the early 2000’s are back. If you have a vintage one, perfect! Pull it out of storage and rock it this year. If not, there are plenty in stores to choose from. I happen to love this one.
Boxy Bags: Small, boxy totes are a great alternative to regular totes, buckets, and satchels. They have a casual vibe and anonymous look. My next handbag will be this one!
There you have it! The anonymous handbag styles to rock on the streets this winter 2025 season, as well as throughout 2025. Love that!
Have a fabulous day, and thanks for stopping by!
XOXO
