Women’s Bags 2026: Trends, Iconic It-Bags, and Luxury Must-Haves

Among the Spring/Summer 2026 trends, iconic bags from top luxury brands are a must-have—timeless symbols that never go out of style. Since 2009, the Sicily Bag by Dolce & Gabbana has been a wardrobe essential. Versatile enough to be carried by hand or over the shoulder thanks to its strap, it is both spacious and functional, inspired by the natural beauty of its homeland, Sicily.

Topping the list of most coveted bags of 2026, and now a contemporary icon, is The Attico’s La Passeggiata Bag. With its casual, street-chic style and extra-long handles, it can be worn under the arm, in the hand, or with effortless nonchalance. La Passeggiata retains its distinctive identity across all variations: midi, small, medium, maxi, in powder-colored suede, in the large crocodile-effect leather version, or in neutral tones.

Another seasonal icon is the Cannolo Bag by Jil Sander, evoking the Sicilian landscape and a sense of conviviality. This cylindrical shoulder bag features a minimal, geometric design, is functional and roomy, and adapts seamlessly to a variety of looks and occasions.

As every year, the material of a bag is key: leather bags remain among the most beloved and admired, capable of carrying their charm from season to season without losing appeal. The maison Dragon Diffusion has become a benchmark in handcrafted leather bags, inspired by an ancient concept: handwoven baskets, everyday objects that combine memory, function, and essential beauty.

Each bag is carefully handmade by skilled Indian artisans, using high-quality natural leathers selected for their softness, durability, and ability to age gracefully over time. The leather strips are meticulously woven, transforming the simplicity of a basket into an object of understated luxury.

Among the most iconic and sought-after models is the Botteghe tote bag, crafted in thicker woven leather with a fabric inner pouch. The brown Santa Cano bag, shaped like a basket, is also a must-have for the Spring/Summer 2026 season, blending artisanal charm with contemporary style.

As every summer, no wardrobe is complete without an evening bag—the perfect accessory to elevate the most elegant looks. Benedetta Bruzziches is the Italian go-to brand for luxury handbags, meticulously crafted with premium materials, such as satin silk linings. Among the most iconic pieces are the Yennefer Crystal Silver handbag and the Your Best Friend blue shoulder clutch with paisley print—true ceremony must-haves that add a touch of sparkle to any outfit.

The Nano Bag by Rabanne in gold is one of the French maison’s most recognizable and experimental accessories. Made from a mesh of small woven metallic discs or rings, it is minimalist yet instantly iconic, perfect for completing elegant evening looks. Finally, the silver Rabanne bag adorned with rhinestones adds brightness and prestige, transforming the mini bag into a wearable jewel that turns heads at every event.

Among the most loved It-Bags of Spring/Summer 2026, handwoven raffia bags stand out, perfectly capturing a summery spirit. Notable examples include the medium Pony Bag by Etro with leather trims, and the Rabanne handwoven raffia bag with metallic disc details—a spacious bag that combines versatility, comfort, and style for any occasion.

Bold geometric shapes continue to inspire designers: in 2026, the cylindrical bag reigns supreme, as seen in the iconic Cannolo Bag by Jil Sander, and even cylindrical accessories like Marc Jacobs’ The Lipstick keychain that can be attached to a bag.

Once again, the beauty bag proves to be a must-have accessory for completing the wardrobe. An elegant example is the Romy Bag by Tory Burch in leather, perfect for carrying all your essentials with style and sophistication.
