I’m declaring it: This is the luxurious-looking bag trend to invest in before fall.
When a trend begins to emerge, it becomes the responsibility of an editor to take notice, and that’s precisely what is occurring with croc-embossed bags at present. I initially came across one this season during a Clare V. press preview. The moment I laid eyes on it, I thought it was the ideal bag for fall, and I instantly wanted to have it. Then, I noticed Hailey Bieber carrying the yet-to-be-released black croc-embossed Small Shopping Bag from Matthieu Blazy’s inaugural Chanel collection. Additionally, when my colleagues started sharing images of the rare appearance of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen earlier this month, what did they have in their hands? Black croc-embossed bags: The Row’s Lady and Agnes. That’s when it began to feel less like mere coincidence.
To further highlight these observations, Kylie Jenner sported a blue croc-embossed Hermès Birkin at the NBA Eastern Conference Playoffs and then took the same Chanel bag that Bieber had to another playoff game. This prompted me to revisit the Spring/Summer 2026 and Fall/Winter 2026 runway shows, where this trend appeared in various collections featuring all sorts of colors: Chanel, Bottega Veneta, Gucci, Loewe, Prada, Tory Burch—the list continues. Below, explore the croc-embossed bag trend as we approach fall 2026.
