Capacious enough to carry everything, this extra-large iteration is perfect for travelling. Seen already on the arms of Zoe Kravitz and Sydney Sweeney this bag promises to be the bag of the year.
The hobo oversized shape is the ultimate expression of the 2022 oversized bag trend.
2. Prada Re-Edition 1995
Prada is known for reinventing classic styles and this bag is their latest launch. This handbag, a re-edition of an iconic Prada bag of 1995, was first presented in Prada’s spring/summer 22 collection and is characterized by its elegant geometric silhouette with distinct, minimalist lines. Formal allure and practicality meet in its design with a central zipper closure and three internal compartments, enhanced by the sophisticated accent of the silver screen-printed lettering logo. The accessory is made of fine brushed leather, an expression of the brand’s expertise.
This bag is elegant, minimalist and would be an amazing everyday bag for 2022.
3. Valentino Locò Bag
Valentino’s new bag, as seen in its resort 2022 collection, is one of those retro-inspired bags that will be super popular this year! Dubbed the Valentino Garavani Locò bag, the accessory essentializes the meaning of ‘locomotive’, with ease of movement and mobility serving as inspiration. Creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli presents the design in a few contemporary colorways like black, pink and yellow.
As versatile as it is stylish, it sports two detachable handles, making it a top handle, crossbody and clutch all-in-one.
4. Louis Vuitton Loop
Created by Nicolas Ghesquière for the Cruise 2022 Collection, the Loop handbag is a half-moon baguette, inspired by the Croissant bag from the House archives. It has a body-friendly, compact shape and a chain for shoulder carry, as well as a cross-body leather strap. There is also a version in denim that will no doubt be super popular this year. It is made from a jacquard weave of the Monogram pattern on what looks to be faded denim. As I said, this is a new version of the Louis Vuitton Croissant bag, which is a classic style of the brand that is becoming super popular once more.
The Loop is one of the hottest bags of the year, is an amazing shoulder bag that will always be a staple.
5. Gucci Blondie
Launched earlier this year the Gucci Blondie is one of the most popular bags right now! Inspired by archival designs from the 1970s, the House’s newest line of handbags and belt bags is distinguished by a rounded Interlocking G hardware. Crafted from leather, this shoulder bag is completed by a delicate chain strap, infusing this accessory with a refined feel. There is also a larger version with the web shoulder strap and a mini one with a leather strap.
This bag taps into the retro revival trend that is a favorite of Gucci, creative director Alessandro Michele has once again presented a beautiful bag that is bound to be a favorite.
6. Chanel 22 Bag
Presented for the first time at the Spring-Summer 2022 Ready-to-Wear show, the CHANEL 22 bag is the House’s latest bag imagined by Virginie Viard. Like its predecessor – the CHANEL 19 created in 2019 – its name refers to the year of its creation. Functional and light, made of an extremely supple yet resistant leather, this bag comes in three sizes (small, medium and large) and as a backpack version. Ever loyal to Gabrielle Chanel’s desire to give women freedom of movement and spirit, the CHANEL 22 bag is a genuine ally for daily life. Its interior, sophisticated and practical, closes with a magnetic button and purse-like drawstrings. It features an inside zipped pocket and a removable pouch held in place by a snap hook.
This bag has just launched but is already polemical, with some people calling it an overpriced dust bag. But there is no doubt in my mind that this will be one of the most popular designer bags of the year!
7. Fendigraphy
Launched on February this year and first presented at the Fendi spring/summer 22 show you could argue this is the bag of the moment. The half-moon shape and bold gold logo at the bottom make for an instantly recognizable style, that has been sported innumerous times this year. The bag is supposed to be worn under the arm in a way that the Fendi leathering is visible. It can also be worn cross-body thanks to the adjustable, detachable handle and the hooks that allow a strap to be attached. It comes in medium, small and nano sizes, though the nano is more of an accessory.
This bag is extremely popular right now but I’m sure it hasn’t peaked yet, so now is the time to buy it!
8. Bottega Veneta Sardine Bag
Part of Matthieu Blazy’s debut for Fall ’22, Bottega Veneta’s ‘Sardine’ tote builds on the brand’s house codes. Made in Italy from supple leather, its intrecciato weave has been tastefully downsized and enhanced with a sculptural gold-tone handle. This bag is elegant and simple, but the sardine top handle gives an interesting accent to it. The Sardine encapsulates Blazy’s vision for the brand, he is going bag to Bottega Veneta’s origins without compromising on style.
This chic bag is becoming super popular, it is selling out very fast so if you like it be quick.
9. Gucci Attache Bag
The newest Gucci bag, launched in July this year, the Gucci Attache Bag is quickly becoming an icon. A reprisal of the style from 1975, the Gucci Attache handbag takes on a diverse, sophisticated silhouette thanks to its soft construction and G-shaped clasp. The Gucci Attache further connects the past and present as Alessandro Michele continues to set in motion storylines from the House archives. With a soft crescent shape that can be opened or closed thanks to the G clasp, this gender-neutral bag is a testament to versatility and functionality, always adapting to the moment. It comes in small and large sizes, to be worn by hand, on the shoulder or across the body.
Allowing different styles and aesthetics, this bag will be a staple for fall!
10. Balenciaga Crush Bag
The Balenciaga Hourglass was launched in 2019 and represented a shift in the brand, since than Balenciaga’s popularity sky-rocketed, and now creative director Demna Gvsalia presented a new iteration of the style, the crush bag. Launched for fall 22 the crush is a slouchier modern version of the hourglass, combining current trends with the iconic shape inspired by 1950’s tailoring. Made with crinkled leather the bag has a laidback style, a chain that allows you to carry both crossbody and on the shoulder, and the iconic B logo.
