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.
