We’ve already taken several looks at Proenza Schouler’s impressive Fall 2014 runway bags, but the bags that you see in fashion shows are never the full story of what a brand will offer in any given season. Thanks to Neiman Marcus’ Fall 2014 New York designer pre-orders, we’ve gotten a glimpse at what else the Proenza boys will have on offer come September, and they’re embracing a number of big bag trends.
Proenza is buying into backpacks yet again, with their second offering of school-nostalgia. This one’s a little more traditional and less minimal than the first backpack outing, so it’ll likely please a different subset of the brand’s customers. PS is also trying its hands at bucket bags, both leather and suede, with little in the way of adornment or finishing. Lastly, Proenza’s also incorporating fringe into its always-popular PS1, and the combination of color and hardware makes the particular bag feel like a nod to Valentino’s spring accessories. Check out the bags available for pre-order below or shop Neiman Marcus’ full pre-order section.

I’m a huge Proenza fan, but I’ll choose the Monsur Gavriel bucket bag over this option in a heartbeat. I also prefer the runway bags than these (Fringe on a classic satchel? Really?).
Agreed… even in the 1960s (when everything was fringed) we didn’t go THAT far! It’s like putting lipstick on a pig, LOL.
This bucket bag is lovely.
Meh. It’s all a little boring.
