Top-Handle Bags Will Be Everywhere This Spring — Get Yours Now

Calling all fashion enthusiasts! Be on your toes, as top-handle bags have been declared a handbag trend, and you'll see them everywhere. Celebrities and street style stars are incorporating the polished accessories into their spring 'fits, from posh ensembles like polo shirtspleated skirts, and Mary Janes to spring dresses and the latest sneakers.

Fortunately, no two top handles are the same. The style ranges from sophisticated pillowy satchels to leather bucket bags to bejeweled mini purses. The best part is that some top-handle bags come with a detachable chain or leather strap that you can also fashion into a functional crossbody

If you haven't dipped your toes into the world of top-handle bags, we've got you covered. Our trendy list includes standouts from brands like Freja and Jacquemus. Browse the best top-handle bags ahead, and start spring on a trendy beat.
