White Bags Are Trending—Shop the Most Coveted Styles Here

From Tory Burch to the Row, these made the top of the list

By

The biggest color trend to take over accessories isn’t exactly a color. White bags, in shades of ivory, cream, and oat, have quickly replaced our little black purses, chocolate-brown totes, and cherry-red clutches. The result is refreshing, like a sartorial clean slate.

Shop the Best White Handbags for 2025

On the spring/summer 2025 runways, we saw different iterations of the trend play out: Bottega Veneta and Chanel presented soft, ladylike shoulder bags, while Grace Ling and Erdem presented sculptural bags with metal top handles that doubled as modern art. This versatile trend can quickly elevate a casual T-shirt and chino look or ground a more glamorous outfit without going overboard.

If you’re looking to try out the trend for yourself, there’s no shortage of ivory-colored handbags, totes, and clutches available, from designers like Tory Burch and the Row and more accessibly priced options like Reformation and Mango.

Below, 13 white bags to add to your collection.

Best Hobo

Tory Burch Romy Hobo Bag

Romy Hobo Bag

“There’s a new It-girl bag on the block, and it’s the Romy—simple and lightweight in structure, easy to access, and no visible logos in sight (a pet peeve of mine). The cream coloring is also much more wearable than you might think, though it comes in a bunch of different colors if you are scared of scuffs and stains. I think for the quality and price, it’s a great everyday bag.” Lynette Nylander, executive digital director

Material: leather

Dimensions: 14.6 x 11.8 x 4.9 in.

Best Studded

Clare V. Lune Shoulder Bag

Lune Shoulder Bag

If it seems like studded bags are suddenly everywhere, that’s because they are. If you’re looking to try out the edgy trend, Clare V.’s slouchy Lune bag is a great option. Featuring shiny studs throughout, the spacious bag features a zippered main compartment and convertible strap for versatile styling on the go.

Material: leather, nickel studs

Dimensions: 13 x 8 in.

Best Under $300

Freja Caroline Bag

Caroline Bag

We may have entered a maximalist fashion era, but there’s still room for minimalist wardrobe accessories that can be easily dressed up or down. Freja’s sleek Caroline bag comes in classic black, pecan, and espresso, but the creamy oat shade is the standout. With its easy flap closure (which can be tucked in for a different look) and elongated top handles that double as straps, it’s an extremely versatile bag, perfect for every day.

Material: vegan ultrafiber leather

Dimensions: 11.6 x 5.8 x 2.8 in.

Best Half Moon

The Row Half Moon Leather Shoulder Bag

Half Moon Leather Shoulder Bag

“The Row’s half-moon bag is sleek, minimal, and a fashion classic in the making. It’s easy to see why it’s already become a beloved favorite among celebrities like Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber. While it is understated in design, it is versatile in its myriad styling applications. I can see myself wearing it with a ’90s-style slip dress and high heels to an upcoming wedding or dressing it down during the weekend with a cashmere knit and boyfriend jeans. The bright white shade adds just the right amount of pop to a look, without actually having to wear color. It’s ideal for a modern minimalist like me.” Julie Tong, senior commerce content lead

Material: leather

Dimensions: 8 x 13.5 x 2.5 in.
