6 Major Handbag Colour Trends We're Buying This Autumn and Wearing Forever

If you’re anything like me, a handbag isn’t something you purchase all too often. Unlike ready-to-wear pieces or even shoes, handbags don’t demand a continual seasonal refresh, and while there may be some exciting trends that catch your eye, a classic piece will be a loyal companion for years to come, no matter the season or occasion. That being said, finding a new favourite handbag is a reward like none other, and who are we to deny ourselves that pleasure? Especially when the new season styles are just so good. And whenever I’m beginning a search for a new handbag, I always start by picking out one key element: the colour.

In the world of handbags, you can always trust that certain classic colours will come back to the forefront of trends—which is great news, as you can invest in a style now and be confident you’ll get plenty of wear out of it for years to come while remaining very on-trend. From my inspection of Instagram and runway snaps, it looks like this season’s classic colour favourites include ultra-luxe hues like cream, deep browns and the all-time favourite, black.
