If there’s one fashion category I pay attention to more than any other, it’s bags—hands down, my favorite accessory. Right now, there are so many cool new bags on the market and I just need to talk about some of the standout styles that have been snapped up by some of the most fashion-forward celebs and style insiders.

Ahead, I’m highlighting the 6 cool new bags that are worth paying attention to and that I simply can’t stop staring at. Each of these are topping my current shopping list and have already proven to be essential outfit accessories among the fashion set. From modern takes on the hobo bag to sleek bags adorned with metal hardware to reimagined versions of classic designer bags, there are so many cool new bags to have on your radar now.
One of the new bag debuts this season I can’t stop thinking about? The Saint Laurent le 5 à 7 hobo bags that were just launched. A sleek, modern take on a versatile shoulder bag, I predict this style will be one of the key accessories to own this year.
Savette’s sleek bags are designed by Amy Zurek, an alum of The Row and Khaite who spent a year refining every detail from the silhouettes to the signature custom hardware before launching the brand earlier this year. Intended to be modern heirlooms, these stunning bags are truly timeless investment pieces that have already become a cult item among fashion insiders.
Again and again, By Far releases bags that are instant hits among fashion people. The slouchy Amber hobo bag is yet another hit that’s a Kendall Jenner favorite.
Dior just released their most iconic bags—including the saddle bag, Lady Dior, and 30 Montaigne—in adorable shrunken micro sizes. These are actually too cute to handle.
Originally made popular when it was carried by Princess Diana, the Gucci Diana bag has now debuted with new updates from Alessandro Michele like a removable neon band and a range of sizes including everything from a micro mini to a large tote.
Cartier recently introduced a timeless box bag shape with their double C bags—and the fashion set has been quick to scoop them up. If you’re looking for a new take on a classic box bag shape, this style should be topping your list.
