The Biggest Handbag Trends Of 2023

As we move further into 2023, it can only mean one thing; new and exciting trends. The world of fashion is a vibrant one, with each year bringing us more and more creative fashion trends and innovative looks. Over the past year, we loved oversized styles, and dark colours, leathers, and the end of 2022 saw an influx of metallics come onto the fashion scene. It is an exciting time for handbag trends. We haven’t stopped seeing oversized handbags paired with showstopping looks, nor have metallics come to an end in the fashion sphere. We think metallic hues have only just gotten started, alongside other big handbag trends incoming in 2023. So, this is what our style experts at Apatchy predict the biggest handbag trends in 2023 to be, and what to shop this year.

We know that oversized styles are only moving from strength to strength. As we go further into 2023, expect to see overstated looks, and that isn’t just for your clothing. Stay on trend by picking out an oversized handbag for your ultimate day-to-day accessory this year. You’ll see more oversized blazer dresses this year, in fact, you’ll see everything oversized.

This 2023 trend is a definite win for handbag lovers because nothing combines style and practicality quite like an oversized handbag. You’re guaranteed to be on-trend this year, with an accessory that fits everything you need with ease. 

Our favourite oversized handbag is our Tori Tote. It’s bang-on-trend, and made from authentic leather, perfect to add to your accessories collection. The Tori is a popular pick, due to its ultra-spacious design, not only is it super stylish, but it’s also endlessly convenient, with plenty of room to fit all of your essentials on the go. So, you won’t have to worry about fitting your belongings in your bag for a trip to the office or just a day out running your errands. Opting for the Tori Tote is guaranteed to elevate your outfit effortlessly, and you’ll stay on trend this year with ease by wearing your newest, oversized luxury handbag.

Another big trend for 2023 is a structured handbag, for that perfectly put-together look. It’ll make any outfit come together by choosing a handbag with this silhouette, so make sure you have an on-trend structured handbag in your wardrobe this year. At Apatchy London, we know nothing makes a structured handbag silhouette better than sturdy, quality leather. That’s why all of our bags are made from authentic leather, including our top pick for this 2023 handbag trend, The Paddy Bag.

This bag is the ultimate choice for a structured handbag in 2023. It’s a flexible piece, whether you want to elevate your day-to-day look, or add a little something extra to your evening wear, you can count on the Paddy to complete your outfit.
