We’re going to be talking a lot about fall fashion in the coming days, but we can’t forget about my favorite accessory… handbags! Fall 2024 is all about chic, versatile handbags that not only complement our outfits but also make a statement. Whether you’re heading to a cozy coffee date, a day of running errands, or a weekend getaway, these handbag trends are worth participating in.

Who’s excited for fall fashion? Check out these recent posts:

Oversized Carryall Bags And Totes

With Ease Tee (Small) | Caslon® Drawstring Wide Leg Chambray Pants (Medium) | Oversize Buckle Suede Belt (Medium) | Small Allington Tote | Caviar Platform Slide Sandal (TTS) | | Lex Chain Necklace in Gold | Lex Chain Bracelet in Gold 

Many people ask if tote bags are still in style for 2024, and the answer is a resounding YES! These spacious beauties are perfect for toting around all your essentials—and then some! Whether you’re juggling work, errands, or a spontaneous weekend trip, an oversized carry-all bag ensures you have everything you need right at your fingertips. I’m especially fond of this Small Allington Tote for fall since it will look great with everything.

If you’re worried about everything rolling around in the bottom, you can grab a purse organizer or some zipper pouches so you can find your objects easily! I just grabbed a new tote bag during the NSale, and I can’t wait to carry it this fall. I can fit my laptop, a compact umbrella, and so much more!

This muted sage green Cuyana tote is going to be perfect for fall!
I have this woven bag in three different colors, but I hadn’t seen the checker version!
This giant tote comes in ten different colors, but this burgundy means this bag checks two fall trends off the list!
This trend includes work bags too! This laptop bag is perfect for taking your files and computer to the coffee shop or the office.

Leopard Print Bags – They Are A Neutral

Over 50 Fashion Blogger, Tania Stephens is wearing skinny jeans and carrying a leopard print handbag 35

When I discussed fall trends yesterday, I mentioned that leopard is on its way back into the spotlight. This classic animal print is an easy way to add a bit of fun and personality to your style while still keeping things stylish and sophisticated! I consider leopard print as neutral, and it can be worn with anything.

Whether you go for a bold leopard clutch or a sleek tote, you will instantly spice up any outfit. You might be asking if leopard is too flashy for day-to-day activities. I don’t think so, as long as you keep it limited to one animal print item per outfit! This photo is from waaaay back in 2020, when I was still wearing skinny jeans. Lol! The handbag is an old one from Chico’s, but I’ve found more for you.

This leopard tote is super affordable and has lots of room for your essentials!
Belt bags are here to stay for fall and winter! They make shopping trips and errands so easy.

Lady Bags With Top Handles

Pleated High Neck Top (Large) | Mid Rise Floral Ruffle Maxi Skirt (Medium) | Flower Earrings Gold | Lex Chain Necklace in Gold | Lex Chain Bracelet in Gold | Coach Pebbled Leather Top Handle Bag | Clear Strap Wedge Shoes (Size 9.5)

A lady bag is your go-to accessory for adding a touch of classic charm to any outfit. Think of it as the handbag equivalent of a little black dress—elegant, structured, and always in style. It usually features a sleek, polished design with a top handle and sometimes a detachable strap for versatility. It is perfect for channeling a bit of vintage glamour or just needing a sophisticated touch for your everyday look.

I’ve been a fan of Coach handbags for YEARS! The Coach Pebbled Leather Top Handle Bag is a great year-round handbag, and you’ll carry it everywhere!

This structured top handle bag from Tory Burch comes in four great colors.
Here’s an inexpensive lady bag so you can try out the trend without breaking the bank!
I thought this handbag was a fun take on a lady bag if you want something a little more unique!
Need a bigger handbag? Check out this structured tote bag. I love the classic black and white coloring!

Black Cherry/Burgundy Bags

Black cherry and burgundy bags are such a fun way to add some rich, warm color to your fall outfits. These deep, cozy hues are perfect for giving your look a little extra pop without being too flashy. You can’t go wrong with these autumn-ready colors, whether you’re rocking a black cherry crossbody for a date night out or a burgundy tote for your errands.

I’m deficient in this area. I don’t own any red handbags! 😲 I have red shoes, coats, and clothing, but not handbags. I decided to order the Brahmin bag below, and I’m crossing my fingers that it is a pretty red color that isn’t too similar to the pecan Finley Brahmin handbag I already own. One of the reasons I love Brahmin bags is because of the beautiful croc texture.

Red Croc Brahimn Handbag
I love my Brahmin bag, and I thought this red croc one was cute! It also comes in black snakeskin
This handbag is under $30 and comes in both red and burgundy!
Red Tory Burch convertible bag
I thought this ruby convertible bag from Tory Burch was gorgeous! It is smaller, so I consider it a mini bag.
If you don’t love a belt bag, you can try a sling bag. This one can be worn on your back or front!

I hope you enjoyed all these bag trends. Remember, trends come and go, so invest in classic bags and save on trendy items that might only last a year or so.

    Thank you for showing the Fall handbag trends! Cant believe next month is September.

    1. It is coming really fast!

  3. Yvonne Swisher says:

    I loved the purses and I ordered the leopard print. Thank you for giving so many choices.

  4. Thank you for sharing what will be popular this Fall. Excited for a pop of red!

  5. Love the tan and white woven bag.

  6. My husband bought me a pecan Brahim crossbody for my birthday.
    Love it and him too!!

    1. Mine was for Valentine’s Day!

  7. Hi Tania, love your posts.
    I have become so discouraged when I see the costs of beautiful items you post. Being retired limits my ability to purchase these costly items and in turn I make myself feel like I look old and dowdy.

    Nothing your fault, just sharing. Maybe it’s a bad day 😊🤷🏻‍♀️

    1. Jes, I try to include beautiful items from all different prices points including Amazon, Walmart, and Kohls. You can look gorgeous, and not dowdy, at any price point.

  8. Karen Peninger says:

    Leopard navy, burgundy totes! Love the colors

  9. Beautiful fall bags! I may need to replace one of mine.

  10. Karen Peninger says:

    i make my purses, and my next project will be leopard print!

  11. Roberta Schwandner says:

    I love all of these bags.

  12. I love Coach and Fossil handbags. Crossbody or tote or any other style, my one unchanging requirement: the bag must have a full top zip. 🙂

  13. Ginger Hiller says:

    I’m glad the class went better for you! Like you, I love handbags. But I tire of most of them pretty quickly so it’s best that I don’t invest in one. I’ve got to keep telling my brain that leopard print is a neutral.

  14. Lucy Holt says:

    Have been using Candleberry candles for many years! Hot maple toddy is my favorite and their diffusers are fantastic for bathrooms, bath spray, too!

  15. Jenniffer Groski says:

    Just added a burgundy bag to my Amazon cart!!!

  16. sue koren says:

    Love the leopard purses!

  17. Karen Burns says:

    The bags and totes are really cute but medium crossbody bags are so much easy to handle. Are they still in fashion and if so, who has some nice leather options? I usually shop Coach or Coach outlet.

  18. Pam Bowling says:

    I share your love of handbags! I was excited to see this post. I LOVE a good large tote. Looking for a fall tote to replace my summer one.

  19. I am so ready for Fall! I am a purse fanatic! I love red handbags. I have a large red croc bag and a smaller burgundy bag, but I don’t have a leopard bag. I love some of these styles! Thank you! Glad your class is going better! Hang in there!

  20. They are all very pretty!

  21. Great ideas and perfect timing! Really need a new “larger” bag and you’ve provided one stop shopping!
    Thank you 👜

  22. Vicki Farrell says:

    I love the big bags!! Thanks for showing options!

  23. Karen Johnson says:

    I love purses. They are the one thing that always fits 😄. Great selection

  24. It’s so funny, I fill my bag, whatever the size. If I take a small crossbody, it is full, if I carry a big tote for travel, it is filled too. I need a new fall crossbody.

  25. Patt Dyal says:

    I love anything animal print. This will never go out of style. As a little girl I had a beautiful taupe coat with an animal print color and buttons covered in the animal print. I had a cute tam for my head. I have read not to mix the patterns, but I did notice that you mixed the animal prints. Did I make this rule up or is it appropriate to interchange animal print patterns?

    1. I think anything goes. Most of the time I dint mix them, but I’ve been known to wear what I want. 🤣

  26. The sage bag is gorgeous! I love a big purse for sure! Happy Wednesday ❤️❤️❤️

  27. So many great choices! I love the sage bag for sure! The TB bag is adorable, but it’s small. I also love the leopard bag!…Hapy Wednesday ❤️❤️❤️

  28. Oo, red, leopard, sage, burgundy! I’m loving this trend! Can you tell what my favorite colors are? Lol

    1. Lol! I think I can guess.

  29. Really like the sage color!

  30. Cherie Walker says:

    Oh I love several of these – especially the Tory Burch bags. I’d love to see that red Brahmin in person. Wish I had time today to run into Dillard’s and see if they have it!

  31. Great, great post, love handbags! Can you do one on mini backpack purses? I’ve been wanting to get one but not sure which one and you seem to find the best . Thanks!

    1. Joan, I guess those haven’t crossed my radar since I tend to like large bags, and I haven’t carried a backpack purse.

  32. Good morning! I’ve noticed a lot of women carrying the woven style bags. They are very cute. Nice selection here!

  33. Tania, what a great post on fall handbags, a little something for everyone! Love leopard and red! Thank you for always keeping us on trend!
    Blessings,

  34. Linda Shearer says:

    Great handbag choices!

  35. Feels like fall is coming today! Loving those handbags, that leopard and chain bag-Oh my!

  36. I will definitely consider a red handbag for fall

  37. Love the half moon hand bag,the white Larsa bag, and the burgundy bag soo fancy. Elegant I mean. Also half moon leopard bag nice size I like.
    Glad u are doing well in school emotionally now, u got this!! U are smart already anyway!

  38. Ooh I love purses because they always fit! I brought my Brahmin purse on our summer driving trip, and let me tell you, it was/is a work horse! I feel bad because I probably crammed it too full of stuff and stressed the handles and hardware, but it sure held up! I love a bigger purse!

    1. I love a bigger purse too. Brahmin bags are great quality, and I’m sure it can take being stuffed.

  39. Good job sticking with training!!
