Like it or not, we’re inching closer and closer to the cold weather months. As summer winds down so does the season’s biggest sales, which makes room for a ton of fall’s newest arrivals. While pre-orders gave us a first look at the season’s newest bags, some bags are already ready to ship and other new pre-orders have been added to our favorite online shopping destinations as well. By now, we’ve seen dozens of the upcoming season’s newest bags, which gives us a handle on the must have trends and styles for this fall, and today we’re taking a close look at one of them.
Though it’s hard to call a specific type of leather a ‘trend’, when something is so widely and readily available it’s hard to ignore. This season, we’ve seen a huge influx of buttery, soft and smooth leather bags pop up from some of the handbag world’s most coveted designers, and some of our favorites even gave existing silhouettes a relaxed makeover—we’re looking at you Givenchy and Celine.

The Acne Studio one is beautiful. Nicest on the list
Been looking at this for awhile…might have to jump in! SOOOOO good!
Agreed! I came here to make the same comment!
Give me the smoosh
The Loewe Flamenco clutch has a buttery soft leather!!! Wow!!!!
I love the Antigona even in this less structured version. Agreed, the Acne Studios is great!
Man they are promoting that soft antigona pretty hard. See it everywhere I turn.
I’m obsessing over the Acme bag. So gorgeous and understated. I love the look of a luxurious quality leather bag without the heavy obvious branding.
I, for one, have been craving the smoosh/comfort factor during covid…and ordered a smooshy bag in July. It’d be interesting if others had the same craving and we all just be wanting to carry pillowy, comforting goodness around.
That Antigona is seriously growing on me.
I have a soft spot for Dolce and Gabbana. So, yeah, I’m going with the Sicily… plus I love it’s well-structured look and dynamic hardware placement. I recently discovered another luxury leather bag brand that got me in my feelings. It’s the Von Baer (VB) brand. Most of my new collections are from them because they are fairly priced with top-notch quality, appeal and value. I feel so proud just looking at my VB bags or carrying them. I have a feeling my VB bags will turn out to be top-class investment in the long run.
