The best 2025 bag trends aren’t just drool-worthy—they’re also all about functionality. Save for boho-inspired fringe, which will help you express your personal style, the year’s major silhouettes will upgrade your current lineup: roomy totes and bowling bags with space to schlep all your stuff, extra-long handles for effortless wear, buckets for an easy place to stash your phone and wallet.

So while it’s fun to keep up with the latest fashion trends—and our editors certainly are—this season is all about investing in what’s right for you. Want a work bag that’ll keep up with you? Well, Miu Miu, Bally, and Bottega Veneta agree you deserve one. In the mood for something soft and indestructible? You’re in good company with COS’s viral quilted bag. But whether you go for a designer label or an under-$50 pick from Amazon, wear it with confidence and purpose—that’s the most important bag trend this year.

Glamour’s 2025 bag trends wish list

1. Dramatic drops

Following the success of Alaïa’s Le Teckel bag—a viral success that’s been tough to find in stock for months now—east-west bags are having a major moment. Characterized by rectangular bodies that are wider than they are tall, 2025’s hottest east-west silhouettes also feature exaggerated handle drops, which make them easier to carry as shoulder bags and add a sculptural je ne sais quoi to any outfit. These options range from Amazon steals to proper designer investments, including an Alaïa that’s somehow still in stock.

If the ongoing appetite for the Walmart Birkin is any indication, people crave everyday bags that feel a little more special than a plain tote. Spring’s runways leaned in exactly the same direction, with Miu Miu, JW Anderson, (the real) Hermès, and so many more labels showing tote bags adorned with just enough embellishments or design quirks to make them stand out. You’ll get the same look from Tory Burch’s just-released belted tote, Longchamp’s elevated nylon option, or JW Anderson’s loafer-inspired bag.

Bowling bags, satchels, medicine bags—whatever you call them, they’re absolutely everywhere for 2025. Featuring tall top handles and roomy, boxy silhouettes, these accessories add retro charm to office outfits, contrast nicely with going-out clothes, and make weekend travel that much more luxurious. Pretty much every designer (Hermès, Bally, Stella McCartney, Dior, Louis Vuitton, Miu Miu, Jil Sander) showed its own take on the style for spring, meaning these finds will keep you ahead of the curve.

Bucket bags always have their place, but they enjoyed a bigger-than-usual showing this season, with houses like Prada, Gucci, Michael Kors, and Toteme showing variations on the easygoing silhouette, largely styled with elevated takes on officewear. The message? You’re a person on the go, and you deserve a place to throw all your stuff when you’re running out of the door in the morning. Whether you’re looking for an iPhone-size bucket or something that can handle everything you’ll need during the workday, you’ll find it below.

Puffed-up quilting is exactly the kind of technique we’d expect from Chanel, but with luxury brands like Issey Miyake and mass-market retailers like COS also getting in on the fun, it’s clear that there’s a real interest in the technique in 2025. COS, specifically, kicked off the current iteration of the trend with its quilted bags, staples beloved by Glamour staffers (and duped by pretty much every brand). If you’d rather invest in leather, no worries—Coach and Tory Burch have you covered.

Big ol’ bags with attitude—what one Glamour writer has dubbed bratty handbags—are back in vogue after a heyday in the late aughts and early 2010s. The Balenciaga City bag, a silhouette made famous two decades ago by the likes of the Olsen twins, is enjoying a major street-style resurgence right now. And soft, oversized accessories also popped up this season at Balmain and Bottega Veneta, among many other brands, proving that the look is here to stay. This is the kind of bag that looks best with some wear and tear, so don’t be afraid to throw your leather, canvas, or suede around like a rich lady with money to spend—it’ll pay off.

Boho’s big return has been powered by labels like Chloé and Isabel Marant, and it’s clear that other brands are starting to take notice. Fendi, Michael Kors, and Zimmermann all went big on laid-back fringe bags for spring, making this an especially great time to pull your fringed pieces out of deep storage—or invest in one of the bohemian beauties below to pair with flowy tops and trendy jeans.

  • A comparison of Walmart's old logo, left, and its new one, right, which was unveiled on Jan. 13, 2025.

    Walmart announced on Monday that it had unveiled a new logo, part of "a comprehensive brand refresh."The U.S.-based retailer boasted in a news release that the new look — its first change since 2008 — reflects its evolution. In its online "brand center," Walmart applauded its colour palette (true blue and spark yellow), font ("everyday sans") and trademark "spark" symbol, calling the latter "a beacon that guides customers."But some people online have noticed something else about the new logo."It looks the same," wrote someone on X, one of many people with similar sentiments."I can't believe someone got paid for this," posted another person."A complete overhaul has long been overdue, and while some may be uncomfortable with this radical change, it was time," joked someone else.Walmart is the world's largest retailer, employing some 1.6 million people in the U.S. and approximately 100,000 people in Canada.Its founder, Sam Walton, opened the first store in 1962 in Rogers, Ark., and launched its first logo at the same time: the word WALMART in straight blue writing, according to the Walmart Museum.Sam Walton, founder of Walmart, is shown in a 1992 photo taken in Little Rock, Ark. According to the company, Walmart's updated logo is inspired by his trucker hat. (Luke Frazza/AFP/Getty Images)According to Business Insider, Walmart has rolled out seven different logos prior to the newest one. This includes shifting the text from WALMART to WAL-MART to WAL*MART to, finally, Walmart, as we know it now: one word, lower case, no hyphen or star.In 2008, the company added the yellow "spark," which represents "the spark of inspiration" that led Walton to create the first store, according to the Walmart Museum.In its announcement, Walmart said the updated wordmark is "inspired by Sam Walton's classic trucker hat."The update "demonstrates our evolving capabilities and longstanding commitment to serve our customers of today and tomorrow," said William White, senior vice-president and chief marketing officer for Walmart U.S. in Monday's news release.'Meaningful differences'Not all reactions to the not-so-new logo were negative. Some design and marketing websites, for instance, called it a welcome "glow-up" while noting it wouldn't make sense for Walmart to drastically change its recognizable logo."The logo itself is an example of simplicity done exquisitely," writes the editor of design website Creative Bloq."While parts of the internet are bemused over the 'subtle' changes, as a huge brand Walmart had no reason to change its logo completely — and the design team have done a standout job in accentuating the best parts of the existing design to achieve the brand's aims."Walmart's redesigned 'spark,' which is part of this week's new logo launch. (Walmart)The changes may be hard for the "unobservant eye to spot," writes the Fast Company website, while explaining that the word Walmart has been redrawn, the spark is separated from the text and the blue is brighter."You may say it's subtle, but there are meaningful differences," White is quoted as saying in the Fast Company article.And as Forbes notes, Walmart "didn't become worth over $735 billion by throwing money away." There was likely a professional team behind the update, even if the changes appear minor."From continuity to staying on top of current trends, there will be very good reasons behind the seemingly minor change in Walmart's new logo."Still, that hasn't stopped people online from having a bit of fun."Is this a joke?" posted someone on X."A lot of people are hating on the Walmart logo redesign, but if you've ever been a third grade girl, you can tell that the new logo is completely different — the old one is a sun, and the new one is a flower," posted X user Kelley K.WATCH | Ranking all the NSL teams by their logos: 

  • 19 Best Things to Do in Florence

    The Bell Tower or Campanile, designed by Giotto in 1334, is emblematic of the city of Florence. Looming over the Duomo and the Baptistery at nearly 280 feet, the free-standing tower is arguably the most eloquent example of 14th-century Gothic architecture in the city, and is visible from just about every vantage point. The climb to the top up 414 steep and narrow steps is challenging, and it’s not for claustrophobics, but the views from the top are knock-out.
