The IT Bags You’ll Actually Want This Fall
After a full month of shows, presentations, and countless fashion gatherings, I’ve come away with a fresh perspective on this season’s it bags. These are the pieces that stood out on the streets, on the front row, and in my own rotation—bags that blend style, functionality, and personality perfectly for autumn and winter. From structured classics to soft, slouchy silhouettes, here are the bags I’ve been reaching for the most.
Ferragamo Hug Bag
The Ferragamo Hug is a masterclass in Italian craftsmanship, offering a soft, structured silhouette that feels both modern and timeless. Its signature Gancini hardware adds a touch of elegance, while the adjustable shoulder strap makes it versatile for day-to-day wear. I love this bag in its various sizes and finishes – the Hug feels equally at home with a sleek tailored coat or a casual knit.

Prada Tumulte
The Prada Tumulte stands out with its feminine curves and soft pleating, creating a shape that feels effortlessly sophisticated. Its unique sliding chain handles allow for multiple carrying styles, making it highly versatile. While the bold red version adds a pop of color to any outfit, the understated design makes it a bag that elevates even the simplest looks.
Bottega Veneta Lauren 1980
Bottega Veneta’s Lauren 1980 clutch is small yet striking, with the house’s signature intrecciato weave giving it instant recognizability. Smooth leather and a soft structure make it perfect for carrying just the essentials, while the chain strap allows it to work seamlessly as both a shoulder bag and a clutch. I particularly love how the olive-toned shades feel perfect for autumn, though the bag comes in a range of colors.

Valentino Growl Medium
Valentino’s Growl Medium is the epitome of modern elegance. The quilted leather, iconic VLogo, and subtle gold hardware create a piece that’s classic yet contemporary. Its removable studded strap adds a touch of edge without overpowering the bag’s feminine lines. This bag transitions effortlessly from day to evening, making it a versatile autumn pick.

Givenchy Antigona East-West
I fell for the Antigona East-West during fashion week – it’s one of those bags that feels instantly elevated yet completely wearable. With its slightly elongated silhouette inspired by origami folds and the signature structured leather body, it perfectly balances modernity and timelessness. It’s one of those designs that look just as good with a blazer and tailored trousers as they do with jeans and a knit. Refined, architectural, and effortlessly Parisian – this is the kind of bag that never feels overdone.

Loewe Flamenco
Slouchy bags are this season’s must-haves, and the Loewe Flamenco is my go-to pick. Its compact, scrunched silhouette, soft leather, and suede lining give it a casual elegance that pairs with almost anything. Whether tucked under the arm or worn with its optional strap, it’s a playful, autumn-ready piece that adds effortless charm to any outfit.

Dior Voyage
The Dior Voyage bag reinterprets the classic hobo silhouette with soft lines and luxurious details. Its supple calfskin, gold-tone hardware, and functional zipped compartment make it both elegant and practical. I love how it works as a daily shoulder bag, carrying all essentials while maintaining a refined, feminine presence.
These autumn it bags are versatile, stylish, and functional – all the things I look for in a seasonal wardrobe update. From structured classics like the Ferragamo Hug and Dior Voyage to slouchy, playful silhouettes like the Loewe Flamenco, each bag brings its own personality to everyday styling. They’re the pieces I’ll keep reaching for, long after fashion month has ended, because they truly embody the season’s mix of practicality, luxury, and effortless style.
