If there’s an accessory that goes through it with you, it’s your bag. Whether you reach for a handbag in the morning, throw a backpack over your shoulder before leaving the house, or grab your favourite tote to complete your look, a bag always seems to be the perfect finishing touch.
With Autumn comes change and for many of us, that includes our wardrobe and accessories. A bag that matches the cosy feel of the season while helping us transition into our winter style is a no brainer and it isn’t just about the aesthetic, it also has to have the ability to survive whatever the season has in store for us.
You might be asking yourself, what kind of bag can do that? As we take a look at the top five hottest bags for Autumn, we’ll be looking at what makes them a potential wardrobe staple and whether they can be duped (spoiler; they definitely can be).
There is nothing quite like a large slouchy bag on your shoulder while running errands and this suede ALAIA pick encapsulates this trend perfectly. The deep curved shape and self-tie fastening make it an easy-going staple that you throw everything into with room to spare.
What we love about this: We are loving the shape and colour of this bag. The design itself is sleek and simple but also has an adjustable top handle and features interesting cut-outs for a truly one-of-a-kind look.

If you’re looking for slouchy and suede, this River Island find could be for you.
For those who travel lightly but want something chic to do so, this YSL bag is a winning choice. With a comfortable drop length, it will easily fit your phone, making sure you can remain hands-free for any event or date night.
What we love about this: Not only is this dark cherry colour ideal for Autumn, it’s trending right now too – who said Autumn meant only browns and oranges? We’re big fans of the bronze-toned hardware – a classic YSL addition that adds a touch of luxury to this tiny but mighty bag.

Another rich, patent-style bag. This is super lightweight too but you can fit a bit more in it.
This Gucci handbag is definitely an investment but has that elegant look that goes with a plethora of different outfits and aesthetics. It features a unique hook closure and a structured design that makes it a stunning day-to-night bag option.
What we love about this: This is the type of bag that can instantly elevate an outfit with minimal fuss. It has an effortlessly elegant feel to it and, for a medium-sized bag, it can fit all of your essentials in it.

This Mango pick will make you feel just as sophisticated but at a fraction of the price.
Unlike your old rucksack from your school days, this Prada backpack is so much more than just a practical carrier. Spacious on the inside and glamorous on the outside, this bag would make a fabulous work back or travel companion.
What we love about this: Unisex accessories have our heart and this is a great example of how that can be done without losing the style we love. We’re also incredibly impressed with the adjustable harness straps and special re-edition design. Bianca Stratford would approve.

Trendy backpacks don’t have to break the bank and this one will keep all of your essentials secure.
East-West bags have been seen everywhere when it comes to Autumn fashion, from catwalks to Instagram, and this Miu Miu pouch is a dreamy example. With a simple zipper closure and a detachable, adjustable leather shoulder strap, you can pair this with a number of outfits, for multiple occasions.
What we love about this: The warm colour and compact design are definitely a winning combination, plus the linen interior is waterproof. We can tell that this was designed to last for longer than just one season. It also comes in black.

This adjustable shoulder bag is proof that the high street is always raising its game.
For many of us, the perfect bag goes beyond just one season, and the Amberley satchel bag is one of those bags. With a unique postman’s lock closure and luxurious leather exterior, this shoulder bag will become your go-to for any occasion.
What we love about this: A classic black bag isn’t always the most exciting but, thanks to its distinctive closure, this feels like an exception. Its spacious and crafted to last so you can’t go wrong here.
