Wandering the streets of New York City feels like roaming through a garden of blooming trends. From Brooklyn to Manhattan, I’ve spotted a slew of coveted warm-weather styles, like nautical-inspired fisherman sandals, beach-ready Bermuda shorts, the wedge comeback, and most notably, the free-spirited boho bag trend driven by the season's big boho revival. It appears as though fashionable city dwellers are embellishing their spring outfits with vintage-inspired carryalls like slouchy suede totes, fringed crossbodies, and glossy leather saddle bags. However, the resurgence of these retro accessories shouldn’t come as much of a surprise—especially if you’ve been paying attention to the latest runways.

During Spring 2025’s fashion month, top-tier brands showcased a range of nostalgic boho bags. At Isabel Marant, suede bags adorned with shimmering gold metal studs took center stage. Meanwhile, Zimmermann put a summery spin on the trend with a woven raffia bag trimmed in fringe. As for Chloé, the Parisian label paired '70s-esque leather shoulder bags alongside old-school styles like frilly lace dresses and lofty wooden wedges.

If boho bags are begging for your attention, you’ve come to the right place. Ahead, I’ve curated a handpicked selection of 23 sought-after styles that I’ve noticed around NYC. I’ve also included a few of my favorite picks that I’ll be adding to my capsule wardrobe this season.
