This season, handbags from Dior, Chlo&eacute;, and Alexander McQueen arrive on the scene, adorned with metal hoops, leather cuffs, and gilded chain handles.

Every <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/master-summer-to-fall-dressing-on-your-next-trip-by-layering-breathable-silhouett">season</a> offers an opportunity for innovation. Edgy bracelet <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/shopping/fall-2024-designer-handbag-trends">bags</a> and bags with metal handles adorned the fall 2024 <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/how-to-dress-demure">runways</a>, with models letting them dangle like jewelry or holding them close to the body like a prized possession (which handbags are, of course).&nbsp;&nbsp;
At <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/victoria-beckham-posh-spice-best-looks-by-era">Victoria Beckham</a>, models pinched their bags. At <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/fendi-peekaboo-embellishments-personal-style">Fendi</a>, models stuck their hands through the small handles and clutched their bags tight. And at <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/prada-fall-winter-2024-runway-images">Prada</a>, handbags attached to models' wrists via a cuff and chain were a major moment both for the brand and the season.&nbsp;
Other fashion houses took their own spin on the trend. For instance, Chloe&rsquo;s bracelet bag&mdash;a soft leather crescent bag with a gold ring top handle&mdash;communicates a boho-chic aesthetic while allowing you carry it in the crook of your elbow with its metal handle, like a bracelet. On the other hand, Dior merged its trademark Parisian sophistication with coolness: a handbag with a relaxed silhouette and metal handle adding an expensive-feeling edge. Meanwhile, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/coach-fall-winter-2024-nyfw-show-runway-images">Coach</a> and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/fendi-x-chupa-chups-lollipop-holder-collaboration-accessory">Fendi</a> designed hobo bags with gold-colored metal clips at the handle to embody the refinement and trendiness of the style. <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/alexander-mcqueen-fall-winter-2024">Alexander McQueen</a> also leaned into a scultpural design with its &ldquo;Cross-Bar&rdquo; bag, which contains a tubular curved gold handle atop its leather base, and blends seamlessly with a bangle or two.&nbsp;
The emergence of these mighty bags signals a general consciousness of the recent sales-driving potential of maximalist accessories. (For example, &ldquo;It-girls&rdquo; like <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/daisy-edgar-jones-twisters-fresh-fashion-style">Daisy Edgar Jones</a> and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/miley-cyrus-beauty-transformation-hair-makeup-hannah-montana">Miley Cyrus</a> have both prompted headlines for indulging in the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/shopping/chunky-bangles-bulky-cuffs-jewelry-trend">chunky jewelry</a> renaissance in their recent public appearances).&nbsp;&nbsp;
This contemporary and witty approach to handbags defines the modern woman: confident, on-the-go, forward thinking. If you are searching for a beloved handbag to hold close that will accommodate your free-spirit <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/personal-style-tips-shopping">personal style</a> and becomes one with your other accessories including bracelets and rings, look no further for your fall 2024 wardrobe.
