These Are the 12 Most Wanted Handbag Brands of 2024

In 2023, some of the most sought-after bags line up with some of the year's most dominant trends, including quiet luxury, '90s-inspired silhouettes, and designs that tap into the new era of elegant and sophisticated style we're entering. Of course, a handful of in-demand handbags are winning out right now. So, which designs have made the cut?

Heritage brands like Bottega Veneta are successfully reimagining archived iconic motifs such as the Intrecciato woven leather Sardine and Andiamo bags, making the storied fashion houses more relevant than ever. Newer brands like Savette and Toteme are paving the way for what cool handbag launches look like.
