The Top 5 Purse Styles You Need to Know Right Now
The bags hitting the scene right now are hotter than ever. With luxury handbags in high demand, the quest for the “It” bag has sparked a wave of creativity and innovative designs. But not everybody is down with the high price point that comes with luxury brand names. And with so many different purse styles out there, it is hard to weed through the noise. Which is why we have rounded up our favorite bags from affordable to designer prices so that you can find the perfect bag for you. Whether it’s roomy tote bags that seem to magically hold everything a la Mary Poppins’, or the perfect compact size for small items, here are the latest handbags the team at Vetted is swooning over right now.
I.
Ferragamo Fever
If you’re a fan of Jane Birkin’s effortlessly chic style, then the new Ferragamo Hug Bag is made for you. It’s the ultimate purse for carrying all of your essentials with ease, yet still exuding a refined, elevated vibe. The minimalist hardware is elegant and understated and makes it an extremely versatile option. And the sculptural shape of this top handle bag is as cool as it gets. With its blend of timeless sophistication and modern design, this is one of those purse styles that stands the test of time. And the various sizes and variety of materials will leave you wanting more than one.
The main question is: Is this the new Birkin Bag?
II.
Longchamp Comeback
Longchamp’s latest collection has us doing a double take. Their iconic Le Pliage totes are renowned for their durability, timeless style, and versatility. And now their new Le Roseau bag is the latest of their covetable purse styles and our current favorite must-have accessory. With soft leather, a single shoulder strap and elegant hardware details, these bags offer a sophisticated, classic look. In various shapes and sizes, you can choose a small bag as a stylish evening bag or a large capacity size offering practicality for daily use.
Tip: If you are looking for a travel or gym bag for a stylish guy, look to Longchamp’s Parisis Duffle Bag. It comes with both short handles and a long adjustable strap which make it not only incredibly chic, but extremely versatile. His and hers Longchamp? Yes please.
III.
Customizable Staud Bag
We think we’ve just found your FURever bag! This charming crescent-shaped bag from Staud is as unique as it is stylish, offering a one-of-a-kind look at under $400. It feels like a way to move on from the bucket bag which has been so popular in recent years. Ready to make a fashion statement that’s one-of-a-kind? If you’re after a bag or a gift for someone that feels truly special—this is the one for you.
Style Tip: We love this bag styled with a denim-on-denim look. Dark rinse denim worn with this bag is the perfect combination for that Ralph Lauren vibe.
IV.
Free People with a side of bag charms please!
If you’re a fan of the iconic Balenciaga City Bag or just love a hobo style purse, we couldn’t recommend the We The Free Emerson Tote Bag more. This bag offers a similar look but at a fraction of the price—under $300! What we love most about this slouchy bag is its cool, downtown vibe and that you can customize it with charms for a truly personal touch. It’s also the perfect bag for everyday use, with easy to hold top handles and ample space for all of your personal items.
Free People offers a variety of charm options to complement your tote. For a more luxe, Hermes-inspired vibe, we’re loving their Horseshoe Charm, or if you’re after something with more of a free-spirited, boho flair, their Charmed Bag Swag Charms are the perfect fit.
Style Tip: Don’t be afraid to mix and match your bag charms! The key is to have fun with it and style it in different ways. Style icon Lorie Hirshleifer is known for adding quirky trinkets to her Birkins, infusing them with unique personality and playful charm. So go ahead—make your bag a reflection of you!
V.
Bottega Chic
If you’re in search of a timeless investment piece, we highly recommend the Large Parachute Tote from Bottega Veneta. This sophisticated designer bag has an elegant look that elevates any outfit, no matter what your personal style is. With its roomy size, subtle texture, and minimalist hardware, it’s the ideal choice for an everyday shoulder bag. We also love the flat bottom, open top and attached zipper pocket, allowing you to keep everything organized and easily within reach. This bag can be worn dressed up for formal events or with jeans for casual outings. The down side is that the price tag is quite hefty. However, if you do make the investment, this is a bag you will love for years to come and will never go out of style.
Inside Tip: While the large bag can hold a ton, the smaller-sized version of the Parachute comes with a long strap that allows you to wear it as a cross-body bag as well, making it one of the most versatile purse styles.
The bag game right now is stronger than ever, with a mix of timeless classics and bold, fresh designs leading the way. From customizable pieces that let you showcase your personality, to the sleek sophistication of luxury bags, there’s a handbag for every style and occasion. With so many different types of handbags, one thing is clear: the right bag can elevate any outfit—and make a statement all its own. So go ahead, indulge in that FURever bag or timeless treasure you’ve been eyeing! These are the 5 latest purse styles we’ll be adding to cart!
