While winter is all about handbags in the form of polished leather and workwear totes, spring is when handbags get a lot more fun. After all, when you're wearing coats and boots, you want a bag that's as chic and polished as the rest of you, but spring and summer bring with it an element of experimentation that we're so excited for.

Most importantly, if you're going to spend your hard-earned cash on a new spring bag, you want something that will be around for more than one season. So, we took a closer look at the designer handbag trends of spring 2018 and found several that will undoubtedly stand the test of time.

Cool, quirky details abound with the latest and greatest handbag trends, and cool girls are already wearing them. Read on to see and shop the spring bag trends that are here to stay (for a while, at least).

CHAIN STRAP

The rise of chunky chain-strap bags probably has something to do with the return of all things '80s, but it's subtle enough to not look dated several seasons from now.
