Answer

Oversized, slouchy bags are set to trend for the 2026 fall season.Some of the best luxury options come from The Row and Bottega Veneta.There are also middle grounds in price and size, like the Gather bag from Songmont.If you're in the market for a new fall bag, know this: it should probably be big enough to carry a cable-knit sweater, a cozy plaid blanket, and a container of your favorite pumpkin-spice treats.The Coach Brooklyn bag and Chloé Paddington purses that reigned supreme in recent years will no longer cut it.Cool girls want bags that are bigger, slouchier, and look more lived-in than the trendy pieces of years past.Designers like Bottega Veneta showcased massive totes on fall runways, and retailers like Free People have recently introduced classic purses in larger sizes in their stores.Fashion fans and stylists have also raved about larger-than-life bags on social media, saying styles continue to grow in size and become more coveted as fall approaches.Here are some options to consider, from luxury bags to mid-range designer purses.The Row has a large leather option that will appeal to fans of the Coach Brooklyn bag.Whereas the famed Coach purse measures 11 inches tall and 11 inches wide, The Row's $3,900 Jean Shoulder Bag is nearly three inches longer and taller — and that's before you consider the strap.It's also less structured with a slouchy design, and it's made from calfskin leather that naturally looks gently used.If you prefer suede, Bottega Veneta has got you covered.Most fashion fans are familiar with the brand's signature woven designs with knotted handles, typically found in shiny leather.Now, the luxury label is supersizing that style. The $5,100 Jodie bag is large enough to be worn over the shoulder, measuring almost 19 inches long.Its gray-toned color, called cloudy indigo, is also the perfect neutral for fall.Burberry has the ideal tote for anyone who wants something they can start carrying in late summer.Raffia totes are typically reserved for summer beach bags, while checked-patterned totes are often associated with fall.That makes the $1,395 large Margate bag from Burberry the ideal transition piece.It has a sand-colored base decorated with Burberry's signature print in tan, red, and black.
