Runway seasons are always a whirlwind, but for some reason, this one seemed especially so. Maybe all of the individual weeks have just gotten a little bloated over the years, but it feels like I’ve barely had the chance to catch my breath and reflect on how next season’s bag market is shaping up. The end of Paris Fashion Week is always a good opportunity for reflection, though, not least because the city’s leather goods are arguably the biggest influence on global trends.
We plowed through all the bag-heavy Paris collections to pick out our favorites; check them out below, and check back the rest of the week for some analysis of the emerging ideas for Fall 2017.

That Olympia Le-Tan is stunning.
Good grief, the new Dior bags are so ugly. I just can’t find anything redeemable whatsoever about them.
That pattern is a redo from the early 2000’s.
Not much effort or creativity on their part imo. Wonder if they think nobody would notice? Or if they even care
Apparently, the early 2000’s are now considered vintage/retro…. *eyeroll*
the mini bag trend is over
I have spent so much money over the years on bags. This was an obsession of mine for quite some time and when I think of the thousands of dollars wasted, I am ashamed. Sure they’re fun to look at (that’s why I’m here) but I am so glad to be over the hump of having to have a great bag. It helps that I now live in a major city without a car and public transportation does not lend itself to carrying around an expensive bag.
I’m in the same stage now. I decided to finish the collection when I’ll have all color nas sizes. But it is still sth new and sexy…
Love the Dior in the vintage monogram. I’m surprised to see the bags in slides 3 and 5. Are they the Best of the Most Ridiculous?
Not usually of fan of Longchamp but this one could sway me to become one
Love the Longchamp bag. Details on when it will be available?
superb trendy bags
curious this coming back to the old logo (Dior 9, really awful). They said not much time ago the logo was cheap, it was for poor and now look at all this coming back to the logo!
Great bags!!!! Loewe Midnight bags in different sizes are amazing and desirable.
I am digging that Lanvin black python a lot. Must find out more about it.
Did you say the WORST bags of the week?! Except for the LV and the blue Valentino, the bags are so ugly. Wow!
If th de are the best, my wallet is VERY safe this season. Just no.
I am not a fan of neither mini nor big bag trend. Balenciaga’s extremely large bag is just utterly hideous.
Love that Valentino and Dior!
I’m loving the Longchamp. Can’t wait to see in other colors. Never jumped on the mini bag train and really glad that train has left the station!
when is that Longchamp will be available to us peasants?
