With higher profit margins than apparel and broader customer appeal, handbags play a pivotal role in shaping seasonal assortments and driving sales. The Resort 27 season featured a diverse array of designer handbags, highlighting a shifting trend toward softer structures and tactile materials. However, despite the industry’s general movement away from animal hides, consumer demand for genuine leather in handbags remains high.
Additionally, vibrant, embellished raffia bags made their usual appearance, while zebra and deer patterns began overtaking classic leopard prints.
Below are ten standout styles to watch out for.
