For Vogue editors, it’s our year in shopping that’s giving us the most fodder for reflection–a look back on those covetable items that were instant, must-have additions in our everyday wardrobes , if you will. Of these, none were hotter, or as culture-defining, as the It handbag. Vogue’s Guide to the Top-Shopped Handbags: Serving as the ultimate sartorial status symbol, the top-shopped handbags of 2024 suited every kind of dresser, from maximalists who were drawn to bold color and vibrant print to minimalists who never strayed far from a classic black or simple, yet sleek silhouette.



We saw this modeled best by the ever-fashionable street style scene , who took to fashion months across cities sporting their Alaïa Le Teckel bag in sumptuous suede or smooth leather; Bottega Veneta’s covetable Andiamo bag that’s beloved for being both practical and polished, and Coach’s roomy Empire tote that was more-often-than not perched on the desks of several Vogue editors as they navigated office hours in-between the New York shows. Naturally, we also took notes from our favorite celebs when crowning the It bag of the moment. Unsurprisingly, supermodel Kendall Jenner always had some prized piece from The Row on her arm, from the label’s luxurious Park tote to its always-on-back-order Margaux bag.

Hailey Bieber , on the other hand, is a self-proclaimed Saint Laurent girl, known to sport several of its illustrious Le 5 à 7 styles. And when it comes to Gucci, you could always expect Dakota Johnson to show off her timeless Jackie 1961 bag in a bold burgundy or classic camel. Of course, the runways were always first to debut a hero handbag or two.

Our biggest take-away from the fall 2024 collections, you ask? Everyday practicality and ease always wins, with the spotlight on best-selling bags that stood the test of time both on and off the catwalk. Loewe’s Flamenco clutch and the aforementioned Gucci Jackie 1961 bag, to name a few, helped convince aspirational buyers that these investment pieces were (and are) still in very much in style. In sum, 2024 was the year where bags of all kinds shined, from overtly wearable ones to those more kitschy and fun.

Additional highlights include, but are not limited to, rich, chocolate brown suede bags ; spotted leopard-print totes; sculptural east-west bags , and oldie-but-goodie bags that need no reintroduction. It’s official: These were the top-shopped handbags of 2024, and the best part—all will stick around for 2025. Alaïa Le Teckel Bag If we had to choose one It bag of the 2024 season, it would have to be Alaïa’s Le Teckel bag.

(Shh, don’t tell the others!) With its signature cylindrical, east-west shape and range of chic colorways and lavish textures, the Le Teckel is the perfect bridge between downtown cool and uptown polish. As Vogue contributor and fashion sourcer Gab Waller declared, it’s “one of the most versatile bags of 2024!” Because of its cult-like status, the Le Teckel is known to fly off the shelves, so shop yours now while you still can. Not to mention that the Le Teckel family recently grew with the introduction of a slightly larger, flap style.

Shop both key shapes, below. Bottega Veneta Andiamo Bag Classic and trendy all at once, Bottega Veneta’s Andiamo bag has been a staple found on the arms of almost all industry insiders, and celebs for that matter, for seasons now. With a roomy fit to comfortably store every kind of purse essential, it’s a true heirloom-in-the-making handbag that will last for years in your closet.

While options in the brand’s signature Intrecciato leather are hard to beat, the Andiamo in a soft, supple cherry red leather is a welcome twist no fashion enthusiast could deny; same goes for the Andiamo in a trendy east-west shape, which first debuted on the brand’s fall/winter 2024 runway back in February. Honorable mention goes to the brand’s slouchy Hop bag, a larger-than-life silhouette fit for the modern woman who likes to carry everything with her. Saint Laurent Le 5 à 7 Bag As far as handbag families go, the Saint Laurent Le 5 à 7 collection is the most famous–and most-wanted–of them all.

Options this season include the roomy Bea tote in both classic black and leopard-print (a star in Vogue Shopping’s Trending Now shoot), a slouchy suede shoulder bag, and patent mini bag in a bold burgundy color (a particular favorite of supermodel and Rhode founder, Hailey Bieber). No matter which Le 5 à 7 style you choose, we can guarantee sartorial success each and every time! And not just this season, either–the next just as well! The Row Park Tote The Row is often responsible for not only determining which must-have handbag will top the wish-list of every industry insider, but the one that will ultimately define the sartorial tone of the season ahead. If 2023 was dominated by the ladylike Margaux bag and the prim-and-proper dressing mood that followed in its wake, then 2024 belongs to the efficient, yet extremely elegant N/S Park tote.

After all, practical, real-life dressing was one of the fall 2024 collections’s biggest takeaways. Making the transition from commute-to-cocktail effortlessly easy, the Park tote comes in a range of wearable sizes, suitable for work, festive nights out, and everything in between. Editors’ note: The small N/S Park tote in burgundy has proven to be the hottest commodity of them all, proving that a wine-stained Bordeaux is still the reigning color of the moment.

Prada Belt Bag Earlier this season, we reported that luxe holdalls for the modern woman would be one of fall 2024’s must-have handbag trends —with Prada’s gorgeous top-handle, double-buckle belt bag taking center stage. The classically cool Belt bag was on the wish list of many this year—including Vogue.com editor Chloe Malle —and admired for its function, but also effortless style.

While options in color and textures range, chic camel or classic black were the hardest to get. Balenciaga Rodeo Bag Whether you’ve added festive bag charms or kept it clean and simple, the Balenciaga Rodeo bag is the perfect example of that trend-to-wardrobe-essential pipeline we want when making a new purchase. Seemingly on the arm of every industry insider these past few fashion months, the Rodeo is minimalist by design, but has ample opportunity for kitsch and playfulness.

Like the eternally classic LBD , its deep black color and traditional boxy silhouette makes it a must-have in any capsule wardrobe. When you’re not reaching for the early-aughts-inspired Balenciaga City bag, reach for the Rodeo—a more polished pick that was also an instant hit on the the brand’s fall/winter 2024 runway. Gucci Jackie Bag Bestsellers: They’ve earned that title for a reason.

At Gucci, one first thinks of the classic horsebit loafer, and of course, the Jackie 1961 bag. Like the never-ending allure of the woman it was named after, Jackie Kennedy, this Gucci handbag’s wearability and ladylikeness makes it a seasonal staple year-after-year. And clearly, De Sarno agrees.

As we waited with baited breath to see which new Gucci bag would dominate our fall 2024 shopping carts, it was the timeless Jackie that made its way down the brand]s catwalk, showcasing that a bestselling bag deserves all the same spotlight alongside a trendier item in the brand’s lineup, such as the Gucci Blondie bag or Emblem tote. If you’re searching for a handbag that’s the ultimate worthy investment, well, you know what they say: “If it’s not broke, don’t fix it!” Loewe Flamenco Clutch Jonathan Anderson is no stranger to creating It bags. In fact, his runway shows are as much dedicated to the next generation of must-have handbags as they are to fabulous fashion finds and funky footwear.

Like the Jackie 1961, it was hard to ignore Loewe’s infamous Flamenco clutch all over the brand’s fall 2024 runway, styled with everything from moody floral dresses to tailored separates. Whether you choose the Flamenco clutch adorned with a dazzling gold chain or one with a simpler finish, it’s a handbag that works for any and all scenarios–and more importantly, one that works for every kind of modern woman. After all, it was one of the many reasons we reported on the forever-chic day clutch this year–an instant elegant addition to any fashion girl’s everyday lineup.

Miu Miu Beau Bag A boxier take on the trendy east-west bag, Miu Miu’s Beau bag features a bowling bag-like shape that appealed to both industry insiders and celebs alike this year. The latter includes Hailey Bieber kept the Miu Miu Beau in the crook of her arm when when she wasn’t sporting a piece from the Saint Laurent Le 5 à 7 collection. Call it the Miuccia-effect, but a Miu Miu handbag (or any accessory for that matter) has quickly become the ultimate sartorial status symbol.

While the Beau in classic black, caramel, and taupe are timeless picks, we’re also loving the shearling-lined Beau this cold-weather season. Shop both bag beauties, below. Coach Empire Bag Each fashion month seems to contain a few key items that become instant hits amongst the street style scene, including some of your favorite editors here at Vogue .

Take the most recent New York fashion week, for example. Collarless blazers , suede jackets , and leopard-prints, to name a few, dominated the scene. And the hero handbag that was perched on the desks of Vogue’s Madeline Fass and Mai Morsch? That was Coach’s Empire bag.

Adored for its ladylike top-handle silhouette and under-$1,000 price tag, it’s a chic alternative to The Row’s Margaux bag while we wait for it to finally come back in stock.
