The Handbag Trends to Watch for Spring 2027

With Fashion Month Spring 2027 officially behind us, it’s time for our twice-yearly look at the handbag trends that stood out most on the runways this past season.

Through a microlens, Fashion Month offers a glimpse into the direction each of our favorite brands is headed for the season ahead. From the continued evolution of established creative visions to the latest collections from fashion’s most talked-about Maisons, the Spring 2027 shows gave us plenty to unpack.

Taking a step back, Fashion Month as a whole offers a broader look at where the industry is headed. Which styles are gaining momentum? What are we likely to see less of? And, most importantly, which handbag trends are poised to be everywhere in the coming months?

Today, we’re taking one final look at the Spring 2027 runway shows to bring you six of the biggest handbag trends we spotted this season. We considered both the collections we covered in greater detail here on the site and those we didn’t review in full. Without further ado, let’s get into it!

It’s What’s On the Inside that Counts

This season, a less ubiquitous but still noteworthy trend was bags with colorful interiors. Building on last season’s relaxed, open interiors, designers took things one step further for Spring 2027, introducing colorful linings and contrasting hues that made the inside just as interesting as the outside.

On the Wild Side

Animal skins are set to continue their reign come Spring 2027, with everything from croc and python to ostrich popping up on the runways. Both faux and real exotic finishes made an appearance, often in unexpected, colorful hues that gave these familiar textures a fresh feel.

From East to West

To all the east-west bag haters out there, we apologize in advance: the elongated, divisive silhouette is here to stay. For Spring 2027, it appeared across a range of styles, from shoulder bags and top handles to the ever-popular baguette-inspired clutch.

Pretty in Purple

Purple lovers (raises hand) rejoice! After making waves last season, purple is continuing its reign into Spring 2027, appearing in everything from bold, royal hues to softer, muted lilacs. The color made such an impression at Miu Miu that the Maison even transformed its show space with a royal purple runway.

Really Into Red

For every runway where purple was absent, red was sure to make an appearance—and sometimes, the two came together. Color is having a moment again, and if purple isn’t quite your speed, red is another standout shade worth considering. Bold enough to make a statement yet surprisingly easy to work into your wardrobe, it’s a trend that feels just as wearable as it does eye-catching.
