An ensemble as simple as jeans and a tee, or even post-yoga leggings and sweatshirt, may be transformed from casual to easy with the appropriate purse resting on your arm. The spring 2023 handbag trends shown on the runways in New York, London, and elsewhere this year might indicate the sort of woman you want to be (or perhaps, already know you are).
The top spring 2023 bag trends seem to fall into two primary groups this season. First, there are those who want understated luxury: Gabriela Hearst and Maryam Nassir Zadeh have given the simple shopping bag a luxurious lift this season. Then there are the trends that embrace the carefree, lighthearted attitude that many people are enjoying as they rediscover the delights of dressing in the post-quarantine age. Look-at-me metallics and absurdist allusions (JW Anderson's dolphin-splashed purse is likely to be a crowd favourite) encourage you to abandon simplicity in favour of experimenting with your particular style.
While designers continue to experiment with bigger shapes, perhaps in response to the fact that women are spending more and more time at work, the spring collection doesn't select practicality for the sake of practicality. See the must-try bag trends for spring 2023 ahead.
