My favourite fall bags, across every budget. A quilted crossbody for going out, slouchy suede totes for days you're carrying everything, and a few leather splurges worth saving for. Most of these aren't seasonal at all — a good brown bag works every ...
Honestly, brown totes are underrated. I keep coming back to this one, it's a great size and I love the rich earthy tone. Pretty and functional. The best of both worlds.
The 9-to-9 Bag – Women Brown Clutch - ALDO
This one's deceptively roomy. It looks structured but you can fit way more in it than you'd expect, which is really what I want from a tote. The khaki has a smooth finish that makes it look more expensive than it is — works for the office, works for ...
The Power Tote – Women Khaki Tote bag - ALDO
I have a smaller version of this in a blush colour for summer and love it. This larger version is great for everyday since it can hold what you need while the woven pattern gives it some style.
The Working Bag – Women Dark brown Hobo bag - ALDO
Love this sweet little bag! The bow detail is so cute!
Bow Shoulder Bag in Taupe
Quilted flap, gold chain, and the strap converts so you can wear it crossbody or shorten it to sit on the shoulder. Beige goes with everything and the gold warms it up.
The Timeless Bag – Women Taupe Crossbody bag - ALDO
Oversized and soft, holds a lot. There's a little zip pouch inside that comes out, which sounds minor but it's the thing that stops you digging around for your keys.
Love Knot Slouchy Bag: Buckle Edition
Cruelty-free, fair trade, and it doesn't feel like a compromise. Removable zip pouch inside, magnetic and snap closure. If you've been looking for a bag that isn't leather but isn't obviously not leather, this is the one.
Melie Bianco Phaedra Hobo Bag
Foldover top, four interior slip pockets, and a shoulder drop that sits right under the arm. It's mid-sized — 13 inches across — so bigger than a going-out bag but not a laptop tote. The four pockets are what sell it for me; foldover bags are usually...
Chrystie Bag in Espresso
This one's small but well made. Suede outside, leather lined, gold hardware, little bit of fringe. Strap detaches so you can carry it two ways.
Lee Radziwill Suede Large Shoulder Bag in Wild Tobacco
Huge, soft suede, slouches down when there's nothing in it. This soft sage green is gorgeous. Linen lining is a nice touch. There's a zip pocket and two slip pockets inside, which you'll want at this size. Genuinely a lot of bag.
Roma Suede Tote in Olive Moss
Actual bag for actual days. Fits a 16" laptop, water-repellent, and there's a back zip pocket you can reach without taking it off. Three compartments so things aren't in one pile. More of a day bag, than a weekender.
Great travel bag. The pockets sit flush rather than bulging, so it keeps a flat, streamlined shape even loaded. Buckle over a zip at the top, which means you can get into it one-handed without unfastening everything. Inside there's a padded sleeve fo...
Big slouchy hobo in dark brown faux suede. Nearly 17 inches tall, so it genuinely holds a tablet and everything else — and it zips shut, which a lot of slouchy bags don't. Leather strap, soft body, folds down when it's not full.
Faux Suede Slouchy Hobo Tote Bag - Brown
Seriously organized, this one. Two main compartments, a centre zip section, two front pockets and an anti-theft zip at the back — so nothing ends up in one pile. Strap adjusts from 31 to 55 inches and detaches, so it works crossbody, on the shoulder,...
CLUCI Large Women's Purses, Multi-Pocket Hobo
Crescent bags are having a moment for a reason — the curve sits flush against your side instead of bouncing around. This one's compact but there are three card slots and a zip pocket in there, so it holds more than it looks like it should.
KKXIU Cute Hobo Vegan Leather Shoulder Bag
The side zip is the clever bit — it expands the width when you need more room and stays narrow when you don't, so it works for a normal day and a heavy one. Eleven slip pockets inside plus two zip pockets, and there's a rear pocket on the outside for...
