Red has long been associated with luck and celebration across cultures—from Italians ringing in the New Year in red underwear (yes, I can confirm this is a thing) to the bold crimson hues that dominate Lunar New Year as symbols of joy and prosperity. It’s no surprise, then, that red has always been one of my favorite handbag colors—after all, who wouldn’t want to carry a little extra luck on their arm?
Like clockwork, red resurfaces every few seasons, and this year it’s back in a big way—now and well into spring. Some designers simply nail the perfect shade, and unlike trend-driven colors like neons or pastels, red never truly falls out of favor.
Whether you’re looking to add a striking pop to your everyday wardrobe or searching for the perfect statement bag for Lunar New Year or Valentine’s Day, this season delivers. Designers have given us a gorgeous range of reds, and after some digging, we’ve rounded up the best of the best. Keep scrolling to see our favorites.
Red Bags That Steal the Spotlight
I love a red bag. I own several. Red is both a neutral and the ultimate pop of colour. It is so easy to style.
I love the Jacquemus bag 🎒
Best thing about the red handbag it never goes out of style. Great with any fashion and any texture of fabric. Please keep using your red handbags year after year.
Great! I will definitely take my Louis Vuitton red epi Noe out of its dust bag!
