Writer and expert4 months ago

As 2023 comes to an end, we’re excited to see what this new year brings, especially when it comes to 2024 bags and accessory trends. As designers continue to push boundaries and experiment with textures, shapes, and functionalities, we choose to take aspects from their collections and make them our own with how we choose to style them.

From analysing the catwalks and collections of fan-favourite designers, we’ve picked out the key 2024 bags and accessories trends that we think will be in demand this season.

Trend Alert #1 Fiery Chilli Red

Inject fiery chilli and tomato red shades into your accessory collection this SS24, with a range of cult brands adding a “pop of red” into their new season collections such as Marc Jacobs, Kate Spade New York and Vivienne Westwood.

Trend Alert #2 Chain Bags

From contrasting metallic hardware to the return of the cult chain bag style *chef’s kiss*. On many SS24 shows, we spotted how designers, including Michael Kors, who have expanded their jewellery collection and used their gold and silver chains for bag handles.

Trend Alert #3 Chokers

Vivienne Westwood Trends — @thewestwoodarchives

With the emergence of the Y2K trend last year, choker necklaces have been spotted once again on the catwalks, with many brands such as Vivienne Westwood, Coach and Damson Madder including it in their SS24 collection. Iconic, cute and in-demand, the chokers are a must-have this season.

Trend Alert #4 Micro Bags

This Spring/Season we’re going to the extreme with our bag sizes, with the micro bag being our new fave. Spotted on the catwalk shows of Moschino and Stine Goya, the micro bag may be the IT-bag of the season.

Trend Alert #5 Statement Earrings

We are obsessed with the statement earrings trend that’s landed! Spotted with oversized and chunky silhouettes, often in gold with a minimalistic outfit - statement earrings give off main character energy.

Trend Alert #6 Hobo Bags

An easy-to-wear bag style, the hobo bag is everything. We’ve seen this style either carried in hand or worn over the shoulder when sporting an oversized piece. With its simplistic shape and effortless style appeal, the Hobo bag is officially bag goals!
