You can blame it on quiet luxury. Or maybe even demure girl fall, but tiny top-handle pochette bags with elongated bodies are seriously everywhere right now! Insanely chic and undeniably elegant, the shape’s pared-down lines and clean aesthetic make it distinctly feminine.
It just might rival the chic appeal of a pouch.
Similar to the document pouch, the top-handle clutch fits a specific archetype—they’re the type of person who has it all together (and always looks cool while doing whatever it is that they’re doing). A nice alternative to the mini bags that seem to never go away, the shape will easily fit your phone and offers a minimalist, quiet appeal while still making a statement.
While the Hermès Kelly Pochette instantly comes to mind as one of the shape’s most popular choices (and one that’s been around the longest), in 2025, three bags are leading the pack: the Savette Symmetry Pochette, the latest version of Alaïa’s Le Teckel, and the Bottega Veneta Andiamo Clutch.
The bags from both Savette and Bottega Veneta continue to gain traction, while Alaïa’s version of the shape burst onto the scene and is already set to be a major presence at the upcoming fashion weeks.
The It-Bags of 2025
Looks like a toolbox. I don’t know about “must have” but I guess some people will like it.
My thoughts exactly!!! 🙂
Hmmm, not my cup of tea I guess, I am going to pass.
I am obsessed with that Savette bag.
Ugh. Hard no
I just got the savette, in the wine color, I love it.
I have it in suede in the color Mink. It’s so chic!
I love this style. I will definitely be purchasing this silhouette some time this year.
