Top 5 of the trendiest bags for 2026 with BrandCo Paris
At the start of 2026, one thing is clear: fashion is now all about durability and character. More than just an accessory, the designer handbag has become a true fashion investment, chosen with care. While we already highlighted the It-Bags of late 2025 as must-have pieces, this season’s trends confirm an even stronger desire for long-lasting style.
So why has second-hand become the go-to choice for finding THE It-bag of 2026? Quite simply because it opens the door to collectible pieces and fashion archives you will not see on everyone else. Here are the five standout pieces selected by the BrandCo Paris team to elevate your look this year:
1 – The timeless icon: the Lady Dior
The Lady Dior has no intention of leaving the spotlight. In 2026, we are still drawn to its iconic silhouette and instantly recognizable Cannage quilting, a symbol of absolute Parisian elegance. It stands out as a true cornerstone of the luxury wardrobe. Choosing this bag second-hand means investing in a legend: a timeless shape that transcends decades, gains character over time, and never goes out of style.
2 – Chic minimalism: the Jodie by Bottega Veneta
Is Quiet Luxury catching your eye? The Jodie by Bottega Veneta is the piece you need. Discreet, ultra-desirable, and instantly recognizable thanks to its iconic Intrecciato weave, it embodies artisanal luxury with subtlety. The insider tip is to find it in a vintage version on the second-hand market. Over time, its supple leather improves, gains character, and reveals a patina that makes every Jodie absolutely unique, even more desirable than a brand-new boutique model.
3 – The Y2K obsession: the return of oversized bags
This year, fashion is thinking big. Oversized bags are making a strong comeback and establishing themselves as the season’s key trend. XXL totes or soft, unstructured designs bring an effortless and distinctly modern feel to any silhouette. To choose the right trendy bag for 2026, focus on beautiful materials and fluid drape. More than an accessory, it is a statement piece that expresses confident style and proves you are already one step ahead of the fashion curve.
4 – The reinvented wallet: the art of essentials
Even though oversized formats remain the major trend, it is impossible to ignore the rise of compact bags, or WOCs (Wallet on Chain), which reinvent the classic wallet. Designed to hold the essentials such as cards, keys, and phone, they stand out thanks to their clever format and minimalist look. Carried by hand, on the shoulder, or crossbody, they bring modern and functional elegance to every silhouette.
5 – Bold tones: colored leather bags
To close this Top 5 of It-bags for 2026, it is time for color. In 2026, shyness is left behind in favor of bold shades such as pink, red, or yellow. When dressed in vibrant tones, leather becomes a true style statement, and this touch of originality is ideal for energizing a neutral look. Choosing colorful accessories second-hand means investing in strong, exclusive, and resolutely modern pieces.
