These are the essential bag trends for autumn/winter

If your idea of handbag heaven is ultra-versatile staples with cool details, this season is for you.

For autumn/winter, bag trends are all about reimagining bold basics – styles you can dress up or down.

Think biker bags, cute fuzzy clutches and supersized shoppers. These are the key trends to know…

1. Studded biker bags

Biker bags are back in a big way, and it’s all about small black leather or suede handbags with bold studded detailing.

2. Nineties-inspired shoulder styles

The Nineties continue to rule fashion, and that means a whole lot of small, over-the-shoulder handbags. You can pick your favourite style – whether it has flap detailing, a logo to love or a turn-lock fastening.
