Editors Are Head-Over-Heels in Love With These 5 Spring Bag Trends (2025)

Unless you're the type of person who can leave the house with nothing but your phone and a dream, you're probably pretty attached to your bags. Personally, I tend to carry my laptop and a random assortment of stuff that I might need in case of an emergency in my bag. Kidding... maybe. But seriously, the nice thing about these spring 2025 bag trends is that they're not totally useless (@ micro bags) and you might even own some of these styles already (like, if you have a gigantic tote bag, you're set!).

One silhouette, the bowling bag, rose above them all this season. But belted leather styles from Miu Miu and Ferragamo, along with suede bags decked out with fringe and studs via Valentino and Isabel Marant, weren't far behind! And if you're after something more playful and whimsical, you'll love the novelty bags that popped up on several runways (Louis Vuitton and Moschino, I'm looking at you!).

Now, we all know you aren’t buying a brand new purse every single season like you might a new top or skirt. I get it—bags are investment pieces that you can get some serious life out of for multiple seasons, even years, in a row. But if you happen to be in the market for a new work bag or a fun purse to elevate your wedding guest outfits, I've pulled together a great selection for you. From budget-friendly finds (like a $25 Amazon impulse purchase that surprisingly delivers) to affordable designer bags that are nice without being crazy expensive, there's something for everyone to peruse below.

Hermes, Moschino, The Row, and Stella McCartney all embraced variation of this style, so it's safe to say that if there's one singular, defining silhouette for spring 2025 bags, it's the bowling bag. Typically crafted from leather, the bowling bag features a rounded top or rectangular purse with curving corners and a drop handle. They come in all sizes, too—mini versions might only fit a portable charger and a phone, while bigger, briefcase-like versions could accommodate your laptop.

The bohemian look has been gaining momentum for awhile now, and it's culminated in the form of suede or leather bags decked out in studs and fringe. Isabel Marant lead the way with half-moon fringe bags while Valentino showed a messenger bag style with oversized studs. If you ask me, this trend is the perfect way to elevate an otherwise simple bag no matter what you budget is—just look at this $395 Staud bag vs. this $22 option from Amazon.

It's a bird, it's a plane... no, it's a purse shaped like literally anything but a purse—a drum, for Amiri's Spring/Summer 2025 collection, or a fan, in the case of Louis Vuitton. And if you're looking for more shoppable options, could I interest you in a fish, a pizza box, a stick of butter, or a sea shell?! They all fully open and can fit at least a few of your belongings.

The Hermès Birkin has long been the blueprint for the belted bag. But with the recent rise of celeb-loved pieces like the Miu Miu Aventure Bag along with buckle styles from Ferragamo, Veronica Beard, Prada, Jimmy Choo, and Proenza Schouler, it's safe to say that the belted bag look is a full-blown trend now. And if you're into the charm-ified look, this is the perfect style for clipping on a bunch of bag charms!

Don't put away your ludicrously capacious bags just yet! Acne Studios, Giambattista Valli, and JW Anderson made it clear with Spring/Summer 2025 collections that bigger (and softer, and squishier, and roomier) is better. As a self-proclaimed hoarder who's always lugging around her laptop, I'm a huge fan of the Very Large Bag being a fashion moment, rather than just a sign that I carry way too much on a daily basis.
