Focus on handbag trends for winter 2023/2024
Before you throw yourself headfirst at the first handbag that crosses your path, let’s quickly take stock of the current handbag trends. If you’re going to give one, it might as well be trendy. Because between us, the choice of handbag is crucial. It can be a real love at first sight or a major disappointment.
Here are 5 trendy types of handbags for winter 2023-2024:
- XXL bags: they often take the form of large tote bags. Their main advantage? Space. They come in leather, synthetic materials, or suede.
- Floral bags: even though spring is behind us, bags are playing the romantic card. In the shape of flowers or adorned with floral patterns. You have a choice.
- Padded bags: also known as quilted bags. They are soft and feature graphic lines. They can be worn over the shoulder or by hand.
- The double bag trend: I must admit, I don’t quite get this one, but on the runways and in fashion house collections, bags are worn in pairs. Pair a small one with a large one, and you’re good to go. Apparently, it’s practical!
Nothing forces you to follow trends, especially if your recipient has already made their choice. But at least, you are aware of the bags in vogue. It’s a strategic way to avoid a mistake for Christmas. And if it happens, you’ll at least have an argument with your loved one “I read it, this bag is trendy!”

Tote bags: the star of large handbags for Christmas
I mentioned earlier, the tote is the star of the moment. While it is making a comeback for winter, we also saw it this summer. Apparently, regardless of the seasons, the tote makes a splash? In practical terms, you can fit your entire life inside it without compromising your style. What more do you need?
The crossbody bag, a timeless piece
The crossbody bag is like a messenger bag. You wear it diagonally thanks to the “strap” made of fabric or leather. It’s a timeless piece because this bag has been around for a while and is always beloved by women. It’s practical, but also aesthetic. Finally, it comes in a multitude of formats, materials, and styles. There’s little chance of making a mistake with this bag.
Bum bags: the trendy little accessory
The bum bag is somewhat the trendy crossbody bag of the moment. The perfect accessory to pimp an outfit. An emblem of the 80s, designers have restored its nobility. Now, the bum bag is much more contemporary, sometimes chic. But most importantly, we wear it like a messenger bag. For winter, gift a padded or velvet bum bag. These are warm materials that are very appreciated. But a leather bum bag will always make more of a statement.
Leather bags for women under 150 euros
You can find good leather bags for less than 150 euros. This will also ensure good durability. The good news is that with leather bags, you have plenty of options. The bad news is that you have too many choices. If it’s too difficult for you, stick to essentials: the leather crossbody bag, the quilted leather bag, the leather clutch, the leather tote, the rectangular leather handbag, etc.
Selection of floral handbags to put under the tree
What works very well this season, against all odds, is the floral handbag. Yes, in the middle of winter, flowers are in the spotlight. Echoing the romantic style, these bags are selling like hotcakes. You can opt for a model with floral patterns, or take it a step further by giving a bag in the shape of a flower; that also works.
Green, the key color for handbags for winter 2023/2024
We conclude this list of 6 bags under 150 euros to put under the tree not with a style of bag, but with a color: pine green. Far from a pun, this color is favored this season on handbags. A green that continues to be embraced by designers and women’s ready-to-wear houses. Depending on the material, the shade will appear differently. So don’t hesitate to visit a store to see how it looks outside of screens.
