In terms of purse trends for fall, woven leather bags are set to have a major moment. Actually, the moment has already begun, for that matter. The right one is more than fashion statement, it’s an investment piece that can take any ensemble from casual to chic. So, I’m rounding up the best options to shop now.
My selection criteria was meticulous: I prioritized craftsmanship, material quality, design, and brand reputation. Each featured handbag was chosen for its weave, durability, and aesthetic appeal, so that you can find a piece that’s as functional as it is fashionable. Along with personal recommendations from ELLE editors, I’ve handpicked the 15 best woven leather bags to wear this autumn.
For top-notch craftsmanship and a luxurious feel under $350, opt for this bag from Quince. I love the slightly slouch shape.
