Happy Friday lovelies! I am so excited to share my favorite Pre – Fall Handbags! While researching for this post I pulled handbag inspiration from my favorite runway shows; there are a lot of embellishments, hobo styled bags, totes, structured bags, box inspired bags and our trusty crossbody bags! I took the trends off the runway and rounded up 20 or so of my favorite Pre-Fall handbags that you can buy right now and help you transition into fall.
If there is a handbag that you love that isn’t on my list, let me know! I’d love to add it to my favorites. Enjoy and have a great weekend! xo
Embellishments
Embellishments are anywhere and everywhere this year! What I love about this trend is you can really show your individual style through an embellished bag. This is probably one of my favorite trends because I personally think they’re very “SAK-approved” and add a punch to any look.TOPSHOP | NASTY GAL | ASOS | BOOHOO | STEVE MADDEN | REBECCA MINKOFF
Box Inspired
I.LOVE.THIS.TREND! I’ve seen purses made out of cigar boxes, metal boxes, and everything else. The great thing about a box inspired handbag is that they’re a conversation starter and incredibly sturdy!ALDO | STEVE MADDEN | DOROTHY PERKINS | ASOS | ASOS | SAM EDELMAN
Structured
You know you love them! Structured handbags are a classic handbag shape that never really goes out of style! In between a tote and a clutch, this is the perfect size bag for you day-to-day work look. It holds almost everything you need and it always keeps its durable shape!CYNTHIA ROWELY | KOHL’S | TARGET | LIZ CLAIBORNE | CALVIN KLEIN | URBAN ORIGINALS
Cross Body
A good cross body bag is my favorite thing! They are perfect because you don’t carry too much stuff, it is safe and secure around your body, and they’re just so easy to throw on! The amount of styles of cross bodies that are available for this season is amazing, but here are couple of my favorites.

Hobo/Tote
A hobo bag is a slouchy tote and perfect for your weekend look. It is always great to have a bigger bag on hand to throw your weekend essentials or laptop and camera! I know for me it is essential to have a good tote because I bring a lot of stuff with me for my daily life around NYC.DSW | MM6 | URBAN EXPRESSIONS | SOLE SOCIETY | STEVE MADDEN | REBECCA MINKOFF
