  • Here are a few fall statement bags to consider for the season.


Autumn might be known for rich, earthy neutrals, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still make a style statement with a handbag that stands out against all your tonal fall fashion. From crystal-embellished or beaded picks to bold and bright styles and standout silhouettes, there’s a fall statement bag for everyone—ready to elevate all your cozy wardrobe staples (think chunky knits, corduroys and oversized blazers).

Crystal-Embellished & Beaded Picks

Add instant shine to any autumnal style by incorporating a statement bag with beads or crystal embellishments. To tie your entire look together, match your bag's sparkle with your jewelry—pair your bag's gold hardware with gold earrings, or your bag's silver chain with a silver necklace.

Although these picks standout due to their sparkle, they also go with everything, thanks to their neutral undertones. Pair a crystal-embellished bag in mushroom-toned Signature Jacquard or light blue denim with fall fabrics like knit sweaters and corduroy pants for a gleaming touch to your cozy ensemble.

Bold & Bright Styles

Dare to go bold with a handbag in a striking shade that feels just right for fall. For a cohesive, intentional look, incorporate small accents or features within your outfit that match your vibrant bag choice.

For example, a red crossbody will pair well with a sweater red detailing (like stripes or polka dots). Or, for a look that’s all about contrast, wear your most refined, monochromatic pantsuit alongside your colorful bag.

Standout Silhouettes

If neutrals are more your thing, we get it. The good news is you can still make a style statement with a neutral-toned bag. Instead of focusing on color, choose a bag with an iconic, statement-worthy silhouette—it’ll automatically bring dimension and depth to any look.

Think ruched shoulder bags (like the Faye) or ovular crossbodies (like the Rainer) that make a statement through their shape alone. Whether you're going for a tonal vibe at the office or showing off a patterned sweater dress at dinner, a bag with a one-of-a-kind silhouette will always stand out.
