9 Kate Spade Fall Purses We Can't Wait to Get Our Hands On (Plus 1 We're Already Obsessed With)

This brand new crossbody bag, which launched on Sept. 6, is sleek right down to the new, modernized logo. Commerce Director Nicole Briese also notes how adaptable it is. "While I'm typically a black bag girl, this cream Dakota bag has quickly become one of the most versatile pieces in my closet," she says. "It goes with a ton. This new style is a departure from the classic Kate Spade (no ultra-obvious logos here), but that just makes it all the more stylish. You can also swap the regular leather chain for the metal one inside for different looks."

Function wise, the pockets make it even more appealing. "There are four pockets inside, plus a back slip one; so you can stay nice and organized, too," Briese says. "My only complaints would be that it does get dirty fast (especially if you're a careless soul like myself) and the pockets can be a little stiff, though I know the leather will soften over time. Those who have regular-sized iPhones (I have the smaller SE) may also find that the back slip pocket is a tight fit." Note that you can also grab this style in the medium size in different shades.

You can't go wrong with a quilted bag (just ask Chanel) and the green hue of this one is just to die for. The lambskin leather is also incredibly soft, according to Commerce Editor Olivia Dubyak, who has a similar bag from the brand with identical material. "[It] looks upscale, like I'm carrying a $3,000 bag," she says. 

There are two interior pockets, as well as an external slip one on the back of the bag, and the turnlock closure keeps it extra secure.

The comeback of tweed is stronger then ever, and the proof is in this top-handle bag. It's made with hooks that fold in on the side to attach or remove the crossbody strap (we love a hands-free purse). More than that, however, it has a microsuede lining (another great material for fall), and reportedly holds up nicely over time. Its zippered and slip interior pockets complete it. "I love the simple and elegant design. It's the perfect size for every day, and I adore the back pocket for my phone," writes one customer.

After seeing Blake Lively sport a similar phone crossbody, we're in desperate need of one for ourselves. "This is the perfect little bag for my phone, ID, credit card and even fits a lip gloss and some mints," one reviewer raves, adding, "Perfect for being on-the-go with my little ones! I'm obsessed!" Handy-yet-minimal, it also has an extra pocket inside for quick grabbing.

Minimalists will love this little hobo, which has a detachable, removable strap (it's also adjustable in length) that makes for a good two-for-one pick, since it can go from a shoulder bag to a crossbody. One reviewer writes, "I love this bag. The size is perfect ... Highly recommend!"

While it does come in multiple colors, we're obsessed with the Cordovan (aka the pictured deep wine shade) for fall and into winter. Reds are really popping this year, and if bold hues aren't your speed, this darker option will be right up your alley.

Brand new for 2023, this circular, mod handbag is giving us major '60s feels. Available in the pictured Lion's Mane and a cream multi shade, this bag's round shape makes the top handle easy to carry. (There's also an optional and adjustable crossbody strap.) It has one pocket inside, and while the interior is quite small, shoppers say you'll have room to fit small essentials. "My girlfriend and I immediately fell in love with the purse. So unique! I got the white and black and my BFF got the yellow," raves one reviewer.

This bag is a minimalist's dream for its simple and clean silhouette, while the brand's new twist in the form of its knotted strap adds a splash of personality. It's made of a soft, luxe pebbled leather with a microsuede lining (again with the cozy), and the interior has two pockets, as well as a center-zip compartment to keep things organized. "It's beautiful, classy and well-made. The magnetic closures make it perfect for me, someone who always forgets to zip their bag!" writes one happy customer.

Another new spin on an old classic, this one is made from Kate Spade's traditional pebbled leather material, albeit with a more geometric shape than we're used to seeing from the brand. The fold-over flap snaps closed and there are two pockets inside. The inside is lined with the soft microsuede to keep the luxury going on the interior, too. "This is ... not too big or bulky but more room than a crossbody," wrote one happy customer. "The chain and accents are a brushed brass color and looks beautiful against the [color]. The multiple pockets for organization are my favorite."

Whether you're searching for the perfect bag for a night out or something a little more glitzy for the holiday season, this bag has plenty of personality. The bejeweled strap is lined with crystals for a glistening bit of embellishment while the soft satin material offers a quiet luxury look. It has a zip-top closure as well as one slip pocket inside.

We love the efficiency of this work tote. From the laptop sleeve (large enough to hold up to 15-inch Macbook) to the metal feet that allow it to sit upright at your desk, it's bound to make your mornings easier this fall. Its got a turnlock tab closure and a couple of interior pockets to keep your other items well-sorted during your commute, too. The Bungalow Brown is also right on trend.
