On the runways during fashion week, designers showed off a tonne of distinctive, cult-favorite looks.

The good news is that all the runway trends will be finding their way to your favorite retailers and are available for you to purchase now that the fashion season has ended.

The Cute Trend

Since Deb Perelman of Smitten Kitchen first suggested it to us in 2018, the Madewell Transport Tote has been a favorite of Strategist editors and readers alike: “I do not have particularly adventurous or expensive preferences in handbags; I simply need a bag with a handle-drop length, so I can put it over my shoulder while wearing a puffy jacket that carries a laptop, water bottle, and all the things my kids insist they want to play with that I am stuck hauling home.”

That’s all this bag is. Because it’s roomy enough to hold all of her daily requirements without being overly hefty, graphic designer Meagan Sapashe calls it “quite literally the ideal middle.”

THE Elite Bag

The Gucci Horsebit 1955 bag was reimagined for Cruise 2020 based on an antique style. The flap shoulder bag has the trademark horse-bit accent and a clever snap-button system that allows you to modify the strap length to carry it as a shoulder bag or convert it to a cross-body bag. Walton favors the bag in solid red, brown, or corduroy, saying, “This is sort of your perfect bag size because it’s not too big or too small—[it] is] just right.”

The Contrast Bags

The leather clutch is a trendy modern accessory that never goes out of style. These elegantly complement everything from party gowns to a basic T-shirt and jeans outfit while tucking under your arm quickly (many have flexible shapes).

The Jackie thing

Not just an ordinary leather purse, Jackie is unique. Since it was the legacy label’s first hobo bag and a favorite of Jackie O, the hobo style holds a special place in its history alongside the horse bit. It was developed in 1961, as suggested by its name. But for the sake of this description, Jackie is a timeless leather purse with a buckle that would dress up even the drabbest clothing.

Paravel Tote 

Adair Ilynsky, a co-founder of the salon Tenoverten, first purchased her Paravel purse in Domino Black for a recent overseas trip. She started using it as her daily workbag since it made organizing her belongings so much easier. According to Alinsky, it has enough room to accommodate everything, including her computer, chargers, sweater, and notebook.

 She adds that if I’m leaving the office to go out for lunch, I could even have a smaller purse. Even better, the bag’s canvas exterior is stain- and water-resistant and straightforward to clean: “When I’ve spilled some matcha on it a few times, it’s wiped right off.”
