Spring is finally, officially, definitely here—and what better excuse is there to shop the season’s biggest bag trends? Thanks to our favorite spring-summer runway shows and a whole heap of fresh street style inspiration, we already have the inside track on what everyone will be wearing in the months ahead. And luckily enough, it’s all just as chic as it is wearable.
Functionality is a major throughline—think generously sized totes and shoulder bags that actually fit over your shoulder. That’s not to say there isn’t some room for fun, though.

Dive into spring’s major bag trends below, alongside tips on how to style them and where to snag them, starting well under $100.
