New Handbag Trends to Know For 2020

Every Handbag Shape You Need For 2020, Because It's Time to Shop

Dec 13 2019

We are in full-blown closet-prep mode for 2020. Our Winter wardrobes are largely set, between coats and cardigans, but we're ready and more than willing to update that beat-up handbag that we've been toting around for the better part of the last year. We love it and it's seen a lot, but it's time to trade it in. Up next? Everything from bamboo handles to woven bucket bags, as well as top-handle lady shapes and elegant satchels alike. The shapes are what makes these bags special, whether you're on the hunt for a slouchy evening mini or an oversized go-everywhere work bag.

Inspired by the runways of Spring, our favourite shapes are all set to be shopped NOW. So, what are you waiting for? Ring in the New Year in style, with our six favourite handbag shapes for 2020 that are about to be absolutely everywhere.

Bamboo Handles

Draw inspiration from the Miu Miu runways, carrying a bag that might very well be slouchy all on its own, but the handles sure do stand the test of time. What's more, it's a great way to infuse that retro grandma-inspired vibe into your more modern and clean wardrobe this year.

Woven Bucket Bag

Few debuted woven bucket bags quite like Prada, so it's time you look to the Italian fashion house for a little handbag shape inspiration. We love the round drum-like shape, but can't get enough of a fun-loving texture like wicker or raffia for the coming year.

Top-Handle Lady Bag

Channel your inner Grace Kelly or Audrey Hepburn (with a little help from Chanel's Spring 2020 collection, of course!) by opting for a structured bag with not only a cross-body strap, but also a top handle. It's a great two-in-one handbag shape that's equal parts elegant and vintage; practical and bold.

Oversized Tote

The everyday tote has gotten the oversized treatment for 2020, especially if Dior has anything to say about it. And this is great news for all you chic bag ladies out there. No longer do you have to look disheveled when you're carrying your life around on your back all day. In fact, you might very well have never looked better!

Satchel

For morning, noon, and night, we're reaching for some satchel bags in the coming 2020 year, giving a nod to our 1920s ancestors who definitely knew a thing or two about fashion. We love a velvet style for night, and a floral for day. But mix and match at your leisure to make this handbag shape your own this year.

Semi-Circle Shoulder Bag

One of the most classic handbag shapes of the 70s is back with fervour, shown in all its glory on the Celine runway for 2020. The long strap or cross-body option makes it a go-anywhere bag, but the half-moon shape allows for a slightly more feminine take on a more structured handbag silhouette.
