From labels like Chanel [1] giving a major nod to the '90s by way of poppy-pink, heart-shaped bags with pearl embellishments to brands like Chloe and Ulla Johnson, which opted to remain true to their boho-chic heritage, the handbag options for spring 2022 [2] are endless. If you're anything like us and like to keep a close watch on what bags you add and subtract to your wardrobe, thoughtfully making purchases without buying for the sake of buying, then you probably don't think this post is for you. But I beg to differ — despite the sometimes impractical bags we saw coming down the runways, there were surprisingly far more bag trends that spoke to the "everyday" aesthetic. From oversized totes and bucket bags that can fit everything to handheld pouches perfect for a night out, you'd be surprised at how many bags were, dare I say, wearable. Now that we've got your attention, here are the six handbag trends you'll be seeing everywhere next spring season.
Spring 2022 Bag Trend: Handheld Handbags
The perfect grab-and-go companion, handheld handbags are perfect for toting to Saturday brunch or quick mid-week takeout run.
