They say the bag makes the outfit. And as one the items we wear daily and entrust with carrying all our essentials (PKW!), that's a lot of pressure on a single item.

Here, a guide to the emerging bag trends for fall 2020. Vuitton makes its mark with graphic '70s-inspired prints, while Chanel is all embellishments featuring well-placed gems and pearls. But it's not just about the big label It bags. Explore the trends that can be had from indie labels, or even resale—from something blue to anything vaguely croissant shaped. Shop 13 fall bags we can't wait to pack with hand sanitizer and just the right shade of red lipstick.

Telfar's shopping bag is the ultimate fashion status symbol now—which of course means it sells out faster than you can get your hands on it. Sleek, simple, and collectible—it's the very definition of It bag.
