Soft and slouchy wins the race! The winter season, and as we move into 2024, is giving us soft and slouchy handbags. While the anonymous handbag is still king, the appreciation for high quality leather, which melts in your hands, is all the rage.

This winter 2024 season, and as we move into 2024, look for soft and slouchy bags, as well as east/west satchels. Doctor bags, such as the Givenchy Antigona, are also relevant.

So, without further ado, here are the main, emerging handbag trends for the winter 2024 season.

Slouchy hobos: While not pictured above, the slouchy hobo is hotter than hot. Look for soft and squishy hobo bags you can hug.

Slouchy tote bag: Soft and slouchy totes can be any size from small to extra large. They just need to be squishy and huggable.

The north/south tote: The north/south tote is ideal in a soft leather, but structured versions work too.

The east/west satchel: This emerging trend is expected to pop in the new year. Why not hop on the trend early? Look for both structured and slouchy versions of the east/west satchel. Pro tip: Coach has one coming out in the spring if you want one that doesn’t break the bank.

Slouchy satchels: The Row Margaux is the hottest slouchy satchel in town, and it is usually sold out. If you can spare the cash, and find one in stock, you are gold. If not, look for any satchel with a slouch.

Trends which are staying put:

The anonymous handbag: logos are still out. Look for beautifully made handbags which are logo-less or have a small brand stamp you need to move up close to see.

Hobo bags: Structured or slouchy, anything goes. Hobos are going strong in the new year.

Structured satchels: While slouchy ones are hot, structured satchels are still important. Think Mulberry zipped Bayswater, Saint Laurent Sac du Jour, or Givenchy Antigona. Keep those classic satchels on repeat!

The classic shoulder bag: Beautiful shoulder bags, both structured and slouchy, which bear a high-quality clasp and are logo-less, are still hot. Look for shoulder bags by Savette, Mulberry, Toteme, Bottega Veneta, The Row, Ralph Lauren, Coach, and more.

That’s it! For the winter 2024 season, look for soft and slouchy, anonymous, high-quality handbags you can cherish for years and years.

Thanks for stopping by and stay tuned for more winter coverage!

Mulberry Zipped Bayswater mini review

mulberry zipped bayswater review mini size

How pretty is this mini Mulberry Zipped Bayswater! This small satchel has been on my wish list for roughly a year, and I finally snapped one up! I love the neutral color, thick and luxurious leather, impeccable craftsmanship, and timeless style. Love!!

The Mulberry mini Zipped Bayswater is part of Mulberry’s Bayswater family which includes several styles and sizes of satchels and totes. The Bayswater style offers a more relaxed version of a structured handbag. It can drift easily between a formal office environment and weekend casual looks. I love the versatility!

This particular style is a mini satchel style which is more like a small handbag. It can fit much more than your average mini, making it easy to carry during any season. I can fit my wallet, phone, lipstick, and keys. In addition, I can add gloves, a thin scarf, and snacks. As you can see from the photos below, it is quite roomy for a mini bag!

what fits inside mulberry mini zipped bayswater

The Mulberry mini Zipped Bayswater offers one interior slip pocket which can be used for items such as receipts, a card holder, and more. I tend to just throw everything inside without using the interior pocket, but I should use it! haha

I love the luxurious feel, thick leather, and durability of the bag. It really is a workhorse! The larger size would be great for holding a laptop and larger items. I am adding it to my wish list! The hard part is choosing a color, Mulberry always has a vast array of colors to choose from!

The mini Zipped Bayswater comes with a detachable shoulder strap which can be used cross body or over the shoulder. This gives the bag more versatility as it can be carried cross body, as a shoulder bag, handheld, or on the forearm. Love that!

Thanks for stopping by, and enjoy your new Mulberry!

Handbag Spotlight: Savette Symmetry in black shown /

New series alert! There are always so many fabulous handbags to talk about, but sometimes I limit myself on the blog because I don’t own the bag. Just because I don’t own a handbag, does not mean it isn’t relevant or fabulous, sometimes it is the contrary! Therefore, I decided to create a new series named “Handbag Spotlight” where I can share with you a fabulous IT bag of the moment which may also have investment bag potential. I hope you enjoy this new series and find it helpful as you enjoy the world of handbags with me!

OK, if you are active on social media, there is a really good chance you already know about Savette. If not, let me share this fabulous and young handbag company with you! After all, several handbags from Savette are on my wish list!

Savette is a company based in New York which designs beautiful, investment quality handbags. The designs transcend trends and offer timeless appeal, high quality materials, and excellent craftsmanship. Created in 2020, Savette’s founder wanted to create handbags which can be passed down from generation to generation; heirloom bags. They are handcrafted by skilled artisans in Italy and are both refined and functional. I am in love with this brand!

There are several designs on the market from Savette, but two are extremely popular with handbag fans; the Symmetry and the Tondo. Today, I would like to highlight the Savette Symmetry handbag since it is the most sought-after bag of the moment from the brand.

This beautiful top handle bag is available in multiple sizes, as well as a shoulder bag style. The hardware offers understated yet fresh design which is eye-catching and downright beautiful. Without loud logos, this bag will be recognized only be those know handbags. I love this! The Savette Symmetry is a true anonymous handbag, which is both quiet and luxurious.

The Savette Symmetry is made in mostly neutral hues as well as a beautiful shade of red. I love it in dark brown, ivory and black. It is classic and sleek. Love this look! If smooth leather isn’t catching your eye, the Symmetry by Savette is also available in lizard and suede. The suede looks so soft! Love!

Shop the Savette Symmetry around the web:

What do you think of this investment handbag? My favorite version is the shoulder bag. Which style/size do you prefer?
