No matter your age, the arrival of fall inevitably inspires a back-to-school feeling, of a vacation that’s ended and the anticipation of a new season. That idea extends naturally to your wardrobe, and among the pieces you’re likely thinking about most: a new statement bag that reflects the latest trends. 

With Fall 2025 collections now arriving in the boutiques at South Coast Plaza, it’s the ideal time to consider which handbags will add instant chic to your style. The fall runways showcased an abundance of trends, with statement bags in a wide variety of artful shapes, featuring essential details, and perfect for the office, running errands or Saturday brunch. 

Among the trends we’re loving most: the slim bags crafted in an east-west orientation from Chanel, the sleek-meets-ladylike structured bags from Balenciaga and Givenchy, the bold colors Gucci is highlighting in its latest Marmont designs, and how Loewe is celebrating the anniversary of an icon. We rounded up these and other statement pieces, each reflecting a key fall trend. Whether your personal aesthetic is rooted in polished tailoring, forward-thinking modernity or relaxed, boho-chic romance, it’s a sure bet you’ll spot a style (or two) that will become the centerpiece of your fall style statement.
