The 6 Winter It-Bags That Everyone With Expensive Taste Is Pre-Ordering Now

Although winter has only just begun, the designer handbag has already established itself as the season’s must have accessory, and while we’ve given careful thought to which winter coats and party pieces to invest in next, it’s luxury bags that have really gotten our group chat buzzing.

Take for example the rise and rise of the leopard print trend. We can easily think of several stores that will stock a great animal print coat, but when it comes to bags, we all remember seeing Saint Laurent‘s Le 5 à 7 bag tucked under the arms of Hailey Bieber and Laura Harrier for the first time. Similarly, you may not have known Manu Atelier by name a year ago, but I can guarantee you have seen their chocolate suede tote all over social media, or at least one of the many copy cats that cropped up after its success.

“2024’s bags have been particularly exciting because they combine both elegance and versatility, making them a timeless addition to your collection,” notes Deputy Editor Maxine Eggenberger, and there’s no denying that we’ve come a long way since the teeny tiny Jacquemus top handle, but when it comes to a winter bag that will add the a finishing touch to a cosy cold-weather, there are a handful of buzzworthy styles that have garnered attention over the last few months for all of the right reasons.
