The year is coming to an end, so it is time to see which designer bags were the most popular! There was no shortage of amazing bags this year, they flooded our Instagram feeds and Youtube videos. Here I’ll show you what the ultimate It Bags were this year, they are all beautiful designs that are super in style now!
So, without further ado here are The Most Popular Designer Bags of 2022:
1. Balenciaga Le Cagole
Be honest, you knew this would be number one right? Launched in 2021 the Le Cagole bag is inspired by 2000’s style and the classic Motorcycle City bag. In French, cagole translates into someone whose style is maximalist and over the top, and the term les cagoles refers to people whose devotion to fashion brands are instantly made known through their over-accessorizing, loud colors, logos, bling, and perfume. So of course this would be a more is more kind of bag.
The shoulder hobo bag is made of soft, slouchy leather and features studs, braided straps and a heart-shaped mirror charm. This is a new bag that feels vintage and this is no doubt part of why it is becoming an it bag. The Le Cagole bag comes in four sizes and an array of colors and would be an amazing bag if you love to play with your style.
This is the most popular designer bag of 2022, definitely the It Bag of the year!
2. Saint Laurent Le 5 à 7
One of the newest launches of the brand this hobo bag fuses a vintage shape with a modern spirit, resulting in a beautiful bag that is quiet while still being fun. This Saint Laurent Hobo bag is neutral enough so you can pair with anything, but still interesting enough to give an exciting accent to any look. It’s compact but big enough to hold everything you need, the signature YSL logo at the clasp gives it major vintage appeal, and it is as timeless as it gets. Plus, its hobo shape makes it very trend-forward. This bag is new but is already iconic of the brand, it is one of the most popular bags right now.
If I had to choose one bag from the recent launches to say will become a classic, I would say is this one, this is a beautiful timeless bag you will love for many years to come!
3. 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 a legion of fans but also of haters, with some people calling it an overpriced dust bag. But there is no doubt in my mind that this is one of the most popular designer bags of the year!
4. Prada Cleo
The Prada Cleo bag with sophisticated allure reinterprets an iconic design of the brand from the 1990’s, it was launched in late 2020. Sleek curved lines emphasized by the particular construction rounded on the bottom and sides give this hobo bag a soft, light look. Brushed leather, a modern and versatile material that is distinctive in Prada collections, is ideal for creating always new combinations and contrasts. The Cleo bag now comes in a mini size, with a shoulder strap and also with a flap, not to mention the multiple colors, patterns and materials.

In 1973, Vipiana introduced a newly designed logo that featured an intertwined double C design, with an intricate center pattern that nodded to the architecture of the Arc de Triomphe. The bag has become a classic and its understated and minimalistic look is a perfect representation of the Celine style.
