5 'It' Bags for Fall That Nail Next Season's Biggest Accessory Trends

The Coach Brooklyn bag has gotten a stamp of approval from PureWow editors and a not-so-small army of stylish women on the streets of NYC. And with slouchy hobo styles continuing their reign into fall '26, it isn't set to phase out anytime soon. The 28 is the perfect size for stashing your everyday essentials without overloading your shoulder, and features an interior snap pocket for easy access to your must-grabs, like your keys and wallet.

Drawstring purses are having a moment, and one of the best things about them is that you can customize its shape. This option from Meghan Markle-loved label Cuyana is crafted from Turkish lambskin leather and features an internal pocket, key loop and both magnetic and drawstring closures for prime functionality. It comes with a fixed-length strap to toss over your shoulder, but you can also secure an adjustable strap to transform it into a crossbody.

You've probably seen this bag on Instagram or on the arms of celebrities from Emily Ratajkowski to Jennifer Lopez—but consider this your sign to snag it for yourself. Topped with gold-tone hardware and crafted from rich leather for a true heritage look, it comes with not one, but two detachable straps you can swap out on the daily. And don't be fooled by its size—the interior is separated into multiple compartments to make organizing your items a breeze.

If you love print and texture, this must-have Reformation bag is worth the splurge. Its exterior is crafted from haircalf in tiger stripe—which is emerging as a major print trend—while the straps and tassels are made of leather. And though tassels are also a coveted accent going into next season, they are removable, giving you the option for a more streamlined look. Throw in the sharp, structured silhouette, and you've got yourself a true investment piece that can go from day to night.

Croc-embossed styles are making a big comeback, and you can rock the reptilian texture in the form of this Tory Burch bucket bag. It can be carried two ways: with the top handle for a sophisticated evening look or with the crossbody strap for hands-free daily wear. The slim belt and button logo add to its elevated aesthetic, but I'm hooked on the fact that it's more spacious than it appears.
