The 6 Spring 2022 Handbag Trends We'll Be Buying Into ASAP
After the S/S 22 collections were released in the fall fashion month last year, we made our fair share of predictions of what we thought would make it from the runway onto reality. Now that we're finally on the heels of the warmer season, it's time to take into consideration what the fashion set is actually wearing and what we're adding to our shopping lists.
We like to consider handbags as investments, so a look at this trend report will have you ready to make a well-prepared purchase. Ahead, see which handbag trends—from bold-colored bags to '90s inspired purses—really do go with everything we're buying into this season.
Saturated Shades
It's a common fact that neutral bags get their fair share of wear, but don't discount colorful bags in your wardrobe. They not only are fun to look at but are an easy way to elevate a simple ensemble.
Oversize Bags
We still have a place in our hearts for mini bags, but we'll be prioritizing practicability for 2022. Many city-goers are known for schlepping around many bags, so why not just throw it all into one larger-than-life tote? Problem solved.
Motorcycle Bags
Call it the Balenciaga effect, but the motorcycle bag is back. We're not surprised. Since the edgy aesthetic has made its return, and the studded accessory style fits right in.
Party Bags
We thought the "party bag" style would trickle away after the holiday season, but the fashion world has proven that life can always be a party if you want it to be. Whether it's metallic, feathery, or sparkly—it's time to pull out your most extra handbag.
'90s Inspired
The '90s called, they want their handbags back—but we're keeping them. From sleek baguettes to structural shoulder bags, this style is where you should look for your everyday purse.

Curved Details
Led by brands like Staud and Coperni, the curved detail has risen to popularity on the sartorial scene. It adds a structural element to a handbag, treating an accessory like a work of art.
