Tate McRae Is Already Sporting the Top Trendy Bag of 2026

      As we approach the last few months of 2025, many of us are beginning to think about our wardrobes for 2026. I typically don't indulge in designer bags, but when I choose to, I carefully evaluate the purchase from various perspectives. First, I contemplate whether I need an everyday bag for errands, a work tote that accommodates my laptop, a party purse for evening occasions, or a combination of these options. Next, I review my budget to establish my spending limit. Lastly, I reflect on the bags that genuinely excite me. At the moment, I can confidently say that only one upcoming bag release is bringing me joy: the leopard Fendi Baguette handbag from the S/S 26 collection. Before its official launch, Tate McRae has already been seen carrying the bag in New York City. Her leisurely walk follows her recent performance at the VMAs.
