5 Handbag Color Trends That Are Already Leading This Autumn

      It's here! The moment to set aside your raffia totes and summer clutches in favor of soft suede totes, supple leather purses, and other iconic handbags for autumn. I’m truly an accessories and outerwear enthusiast, making autumn my favorite season for dressing up, and I’m diving deep into fall trend analysis to offer my own interpretations. A top priority for me this season is finding a new handbag, and the best starting point is to explore the autumn bag color trends emerging this year. I’ve scoured the runways to create a list of autumn bag color options for you. If you already have a particular shape in mind, you can easily choose your color, whether you're leaning towards a slouchy, boho-inspired bag or a more structured handbag. (I can’t stop thinking about the distinctive over-the-shoulder strap and hand ring tote prominently featured in Victoria Beckham's runway show.) In terms of color, this year showcases a healthy blend of timeless classics—there's a reason they’re timeless—and a few more unexpected shades that I believe will create more exciting outfit combinations this season. Let’s jump right in!

      The Autumn 2025 Bag Color Trends to Note:

      1. Olive Green

      Style Notes: Olive—such a beautiful shade! It shines with a touch of joy as days grow grayer, while also evoking the earthy feel of a forest walk. It carries the vibrancy of a more lively green with the grounding properties of a neutral. Typically, we observe more evergreen tones as winter approaches, so it's refreshing to see this hue taking center stage in autumn. It pairs wonderfully with black, brown, grey, cream, and beige, making it easy to incorporate into your autumn wardrobe.

      Style Notes: White and cream usually appear in summer and winter, so I welcome a splash of this bright hue in the heart of autumn. This particular color is lovely for its slight warmth. Vanilla remains vibrant yet is a bit softer than pure white. It harmonizes beautifully with camel coats, green tones, navy, and many other colors you likely already own. It’s also the ideal shade to make autumn knitwear pop.

      Style Notes: We're accustomed to seeing burgundy and other berry-toned reds during the colder months and pink in warmer seasons. Thus, it was a pleasant surprise to see a bright bubblegum shade grace the runway this autumn. It's fresh and fun, perfect for reviving your inner child. A monochromatic pink look is a fantastic way to rejuvenate your wardrobe if you're feeling fatigued by jewel tones and neutrals. This color also complements navy and black beautifully, and will seamlessly transition from autumn to summer.
