The Bags We're Shopping for Now and Later

At BAZAAR.com, we define the handbag as an investment piece worthy of your wallet. It carries and protects your most valuable goods while serving as the metaphorical cherry on top of every look. So clearly, we are already eyeballing winter-month handbag trends.

This upcoming season, we're drawn to bag trends that make the big freeze something to look forward to—think: puffy purses, fringed fare, and metallic mainstays. Plus, when we're bundled in heavy coats and under maximum layers, it's our handbags that do all the talking. So whether you're feeling the holiday spirit and looking to gift yourself with an unforgettable piece or are just in need of a pick-me-up to survive the extended quarantine, we've got you covered. Ahead, shop our favorite seasonal picks.

Current trends have been orbiting around the chunky gold chain, and for good reason. The '90s staple has been hanging around our necks all year, and now, thanks to Bottega Veneta, it's adorning our bags as well.
