Crispy, colourful leaves, pumpkin spice everything, getting cosy again – oh Autumn, we love you.

With a new season comes new trending accessories, and Autumn, especially, never disappoints. Here at Your Dream Bag, we’re particularly obsessed with the bags that start popping up this time of year – they just hit different!

Whatever style you’re into this season, the team have got you covered with a list of the best Autumnal bags and handbags that we’re loving this year. 

Our favourite bags for Autumn

1. Coach Empire Carryall

Small but mighty, the Coach Empire has a classic silhouette, but it is super on trend for this season. The soft leather craftsmanship feels luxe, and for a smaller bag, it can fit all of your handbag essentials, plus it has a multifunction pocket for the most important bits. The colour options are perfect for Autumn, and we’re loving the vintage look with an edge. 

If you’re a fan of this gorg bag, you’re in luck! You can win it, along with six other must-have seasonal goodies, in our Autumn bundle.

The Sylvaris Leather Shoulder bag has a similar, sophisticated shape to this Coach pick and comes with a matching, detachable pouch. What’s not to love?

2. Mulberry Bayswater

Coming in a selection of earthy colours, ideal for Autumn, the Bayswater is a contemporary classic. Worn by fashion icons like Kate Moss and Alexa Chung, saying this bag is timeless would be an understatement.

The leather quality is next level, and the overall look makes this handbag a stylish choice for your professional and personal life. Whether you keep it as your everyday accessory or your office bag, you’re going to be feeling your best with this on your arm.

We’re big fans of this structured Autumn tote from Aurora, which definitely gives us Bayswater vibes. This sturdy bag means business.

3. Chloé Paddington

Yes, the iconic Paddington bag is back, bringing us all the fashion nostalgia! This stunning, slouchy bag was HUGE back in the noughties when it came out, and we’re expecting the rerelease to be just as impactful. 

‘It’ girls from the time, like Lindsay Lohan, Sienna Miller, and Mischa Barton loved theirs, and with its unique lock design and large capacity, we can definitely see why. This bag will make a splash in 2025, but if you’re lucky enough to get your hands on one, it’ll be an Autumn wardrobe staple for years to come.

For that slouchy Y2K look, the BDG Jem Buckle Slouch Bag is a fab choice. It’s cute, with the easy-breezy look and large capacity you want.

4. Alaïa Le Teckel 

Combining two of the hottest trends for Autumn 2025, suede and the East West design, the Le Teckel stands out from many of the other picks on our list. Slender and tubular, the look is unique but super wearable, plus we’re swooning over the quality Italian suede.

There are multiple colourways to pick from, with many working beautifully for Autumn, but we have to say, the green has our hearts this year.

If you’re loving the East West style, you might love this H&M number. It’s a larger pick but the colours are just as Autumnal. 

5. Burberry Rocking Horse 

The Burberry Rocking Horse bag is a great example of the current flap crossbody trend. It’s effortlessly stylish and fits everything you need for either a day or night out. The curved shape fits really nicely under your arm, plus the strap is adjustable for added comfort. 

It’s unique without being too out there, and we think it’ll be easy to style with all your favourite Fall fits too.

Want to embrace the flap crossbody trend? This Wolf & Badger saddle bag is such a classic, made from Italian full-grain leather. This would go with any outfit.

6. Tory Burch Romy

Another trendy number to add to your wish list, the Tory Burch Romy is simple but oh so chic, giving that ‘cool girl’ look in a host of rich colours. We love the soft suede look here, plus the adjustable strap. 

A quality bag like this can fit everything you need for the day in, sitting comfortably on your shoulder while you’re out and about. The gold-tone hardware is just dreamy as well.

Structured but a little boho, just like the Romy, this Mango suede shopper is a great find and easy to style, plus the colour is a wow!

What makes a bag perfect for Autumn? 

Whether you’re dipping your toe into the luxury market or finding a hidden gem on the high street, finding the perfect Autumn bag isn’t just about the looks. Of course, when it comes to the aesthetic, you can look for the rich, earthy colours, like warm browns, burgundy and orange – these are an Autumnal statement.

You can also keep an eye on what’s trending for the season. Take a look at your socials and what’s been featured on the runways. Obviously, you don’t have to follow every new trend – your personal sense of style is so important – just use them as a guideline. 

The Fall brings a weather change that you’ll want to consider, too. We live in the UK after all, there’s going to be some rain and a bit of a chill. For an everyday bag that you’re using a lot, make sure you pick one made from materials that can take it. 

If you’re looking to add a touch of luxury to your wardrobe with a quality designer bag, Your Dream Bag may be just what you’re looking for. 

With our handpicked selection of designer handbags, accessories, luxury home goods, and easy-to-enter competitions, getting your hands on your next fashion fave is just a few clicks away.

Winning looks good on you, so why not give it a go?
