Bags, bags, and—oh wait... more bags! The runways this fall/winter 2026 season were full of some of the cutest leather goods and we can't wait for them to hit stores. From whimsical minaudières to slouchy purses, these are the standout pieces we haven’t stopped thinking about since fashion month wrapped up.

Dior

Jonathan Anderson does it once again. The creative director continues to inject Dior with a sense of whimsy. And this season, it came in the form of a miniature frog minaudière, rimmed with metal and with glossy black button eyes. Cute and covetable as always, it’s the kind of piece that feels destined to sell out before it even hits shelves.
Chanel

Chanel took a turn for the fantastical with a teal crocodile-textured bag finished with delicate metallic flowers. There’s almost an under-the-sea feeling to it which reads polished, but with just enough playfulness to stand out.
Coach

At Coach, the term "clutch" took on a rather literal meaning as models grasped onto slouchy purses tightly. And guess what—you can already buy this cute piece since the brand rolled out a “see now, buy now” release of the bag. Pieces are limited for now of course, as the full collection will only be available later in the year.

Balenciaga

Y2K trends have been seeing a return in the past year and we're continuing to see them this fall/winter. Balenciaga brought a retro edge with a neon printed leather bag that reminds us of the LED neon signages from the early 2000s. It's exactly the kind of throwback that feels relevant right now. After all, who doesn’t love a little Y2K?
Dolce&Gabbana

Crochet returns at Dolce&Gabbana, but with an interesting twist. Rendered in black, this elongated bag plays with contrast: Tightly woven at the base, loose knots through the body, and finished with rope-like handles.
Louis Vuitton

Nicolas Ghesquière’s surrealist streak continues at Louis Vuitton. Among the collection’s exaggerated silhouettes came a minaudière reminiscent of a tiny wooden treehouse—or, perhaps, a birdhouse. How adorable!
Onitsuka Tiger

Onitsuka Tiger leans into its signature codes with a structured rectangular bag and bright yellow handles that look like shoelaces. Finished with a tiger charm similar to what we saw on the the spring/summer runway, it adds a recognisable little detail to the otherwise athletic bag.

Issey Miyake

This one from Issey Miyake is rather interesting. It sits somewhere between a bag and a garment, draped over the shoulders like a shawl, yet fully functional. It challenges the very idea of what a bag can and should be, while remaining surprisingly practical.
Hermes

This season, a classic returns in miniature form at Hermes. The Plume—originally designed in the 1960s and recently revived—appears as a mini in a striking lime green. It’s a reminder that sometimes, heritage pieces only need a slight shift in scale (and perhaps colour) to feel new again.
Giorgio Armani

This Giorgio Armani bag is relaxed in terms of silhouette, but it's the deep burgundy shade and velvet texture that gives it its luxe persona. Carrying a subtle sheen, it's undoubtedly suitable for an evening look despite its loose structure.
