2025 Marks the Return of the Slouchy Bag—I'll Explain With These 24

It wasn't all that long ago that we were in the throes of the early aughts, a time when ultra-low-rise jeans and boho slouchy bags dominated. Well, the fashion cycle has come back again, and while we may not be ready to change up our denim just yet, relaxed bags are poised for a major comeback (and boho style as a whole may be on its heels).

A review of the handbags that featured on the fall/winter 2024 runways this spring makes one thing crystal clear: there's a movement away from the ultra-structured handbags of the last few seasons and toward styles that, while still elegant, are notably more laid-back. For her debut Chloé collection, creative director Chemena Kamali introduced a new era of boho style, complete with handbags that were oversized, curved, and yes, slouchy. Even Bottega Veneta, whose handbags have defined what's cool these days, is doing their version of a slouchy shape with the viral Hop bag. While some of the styles we've seen have just the little bit of give like the Hop, others are soft and slouchy through and through. Feeling ready to give this trend a go again? If you're poised to take the plunge, we've highlighted 24 slouchy handbags we love below, all for your shopping pleasure.

On the runway:

Loewe's Squeeze bag continues to be an It piece with its unique gathered leather and jewelry-like chain strap. If slouchy bags are making a comeback in 2025, then the Squeeze is the definition of the modern style.

On Instagram:

Fashion people are eschewing their mini bags for larger-than-life carryalls, like the Saint Laurent Jamie that Camille Charrière is sporting, and they make a cool statement all their own.

On the runway:

Bottega Veneta's Hop bag being one of the hottest handbags of the moment is a testament to how big fashion's appetite is for slouchier styles right now.

On Instagram:

Beyond aesthetics, we're excited about the revival of slouchy bags because their practicality for hauling all of our belongings for a jam-packed day remains unmatched.

On the runway:

Its F/W 24 collection marked a new era for Chloé with Creative Director Chemena Kamali now at the helm to freshen things up for the notoriously boho brand. The bags in this collection were especially noteworthy, and they came in oversize and suede forms.

On Instagram:

Slouchy bag silhouettes and suede fabrics are a match made in heaven. The supple material is ideal for giving off that effortless feel and, per Mimi Nguyen's idea here, folding over and carrying clutch-style.

On the runway:

Isabel Marant has defined Parisian boho style for decades, and in its fall 2024 collection, the handbags took on slouchy, moon-like shapes and came in the form of snakeskin-printed leather.

On Instagram:

Slouchy carryalls that feature a single strap like Monikh Dale's N/S Park Tote by The Row feel like the sleeker and more modern update to traditional bucket bags.
