One of the easiest ways to update your Autumn wardrobe [1] is with a great new bag [2]. And, come cooler months, the luxe materials and interesting silhouettes of your favourite (and most practical!) accessory in your wardrobe reach their peak.
This Autumn, consider cosying up with shearling or down puff material that is reminiscent of your warmest Winter coat. Or, perhaps, you're looking for a more elegant chain-strap shoulder bag or croc-embossed texture. No matter what you're on the hunt for, you'll find it here. Ahead, read all about the seven bag trends for Autumn 2019 that you're about to see everywhere, and how to shop the looks for yourself.
Autumn 2019 Bag Trend: Shearling
Shearling is one of the most luxe textures of the colder months. Whether faux or real, classic white or neon pink, it's time to consider covering your handbags in the cosy texture this coming Autumn. Need a little inspiration? Look no further than the seasonal runways of everyone from Chanel and Fendi to Off-White.
Autumn 2019 Bag Trend: Mock Croc
There are little exotics more classic than croc. In real and faux options, in every colour of the rainbow, it's a material that effortlessly takes up prime real estate space in the closets of Jackie O to the Kardashians alike. This Autumn, look to Bottega Veneta, Lanvin, And Chloé for a little classic 1970s croc bag moments.

Autumn 2019 Bag Trend: Oversized Tote
Though the mini bag craze is alive and well, Dior, Proenza Schouler, And Giambattista Valli argue for a more practical shape with this Autumn's tote with the oversized silhouette. With some, you could likely fit a small child; while others simply provide enough space for your laptop on-the-go. But one thing's for sure: we're channelling a chic Mary Poppins this season with our sized totes.
Autumn 2019 Bag Trend: Chain Straps
Chloé, Altuzarra, and JW Anderson made the argument for chains when it comes to our Autumn 2019 bag collection. There are understated and elegant gold tones on evening bags and heavier weighted metals strung along larger totes for day. With options for morning, noon, and night, we're going edgy this coming season for sure.
Autumn 2019 Bag Trend: Double Bag
Why opt for just one bag when you can choose two or three? Tod's, Fendi, Ulla Johnson, and the like walked strung together handbags in a variety of shapes and sizes down the runways at their Autumn shows, proving that sometimes, more really is more.
Autumn 2019 Bag Trend: Structure
Your structured bag has become even more shapely this Autumn, at least if Jil Sander, Brandon Maxwell, Oscar de la Renta, and more have anything to say for it. Whether in modern PVC or classic croc, opt for top handle boxes when it comes to your statement-making bag this season.
Autumn 2019 Bag Trend: Puff
This Autumn, keep the contents of your bag just as warm as you are, as designers such as Dries van Noten, Maison Margiela, And Off-White debuted puffer bags in nearly as many sizes, shapes, and colours than your favourite winter coat.
