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.
If you’re seeing Madewell’s Bucket Tote everywhere, you’re not imagining things. With its sleek silhouette, shimmering gold embellishments, and sturdy shoulder strap, it’s no wonder this accessory is flying off the shelves. According to the retailer, around 2,000 people have viewed this item in the past week, so I’d suggest grabbing it quickly before it sells out.
Emblazoned with scintillating silver studs, Reformation’s Rosetta bag is an undeniable statement accessory. Carry this piece on your arm if you’re ready to receive endless compliments.
This supple hobo bag from & Other Stories seamlessly combines fashion and function, featuring a spacious interior that can accommodate all your on-the-go essentials. It’s perfect for anyone who can never leave the house without a fully-packed tote, myself included.
There’s much to love about Tory Burch’s quilted leather chain bag, but my favorite feature is its ruched closure. This intricate detail adds a touch of texture that makes the bag so dynamic.
Coach’s Brooklyn tote ranks high among the viral bag trends. If you’re wondering how to style this piece for summer, look to Bella Hadid, who recently wore this beloved bag with a frilly crop top, capri pants, and heeled mules.
Reformation’s Rhea bag puts a modern twist on the boho bag trend with its sculptural construction and knotted strap details. Additionally, in a delectable chocolate brown hue, this captivating style is practically irresistible.
If you want to experiment with a pop of color, consider an earthy shade of olive green. Defined by its muted tone, this hue can easily act as a neutral, so it will pair well with a variety of other colors.
I’ve been eyeing Simkhai’s Khai bag for quite some time, and now that its price has dropped from $495 to $297, this sophisticated purse has secured a top spot in my shopping cart.
Free People’s Roma tote showcases a charming lived-in appeal that gives the impression it has been passed down through generations. If you’re attracted to vintage-inspired styles, this bag is for you.
Allow me to introduce you to your new favorite work bag. Mansur Gavriel’s Cabas Suede Hobo Bag is spacious enough to hold your laptop, as well as a variety of other office essentials.
JW Pei’s suede tote distinguishes itself from the rest with its hardware-adorned front buckle and structured handle. Consider this eye-catching design if you’re looking to enhance your accessories collection.
Rebecca Minkoff’s hobo tote is incredibly durable. Even though I’ve carried this bag nearly everywhere—and filled it with countless items—it hasn’t shown any signs of wear and tear.
Decorated with embroidered florals, Sézane’s dainty bucket bag has “summer” written all over it. Style this piece with a floaty linen dress and barely-there sandals, and you’ve got an airy outfit to wear on repeat.
While many boho bags boast a slouchy silhouette, Cult Gaia’s version showcases a structured design with rounded edges and a flat base. However, its earthy hue and suede exterior give it a distinctly bohemian edge.
Desperately in need of a summer tote that I can carry around all season long, I ordered Naghedi’s woven Nomad bag. I can’t wait to wear this piece to al fresco lunches and garden parties.
Stitched with free-flowing fringed fabric, Madewell’s suede crossbody aligns with the “boho is back” style memo. Enhance the retro trend even more by pairing this bag with a ruffled blouse, flared jeans, and sky-high wedges.
There’s nothing that says “bohemian flair” quite like a padlock saddle bag. DeMiellier embraces this quintessential look with its iconic black pebbled leather crossbody.
Cherished by stylish A-listers everywhere, Coach’s Tabby bag is a true favorite among It-girls. Embrace the trend with this envy-worthy purse adorned with luxurious suede and metal hardware.
Crafted with a circular handle, elaborate metal beads, and a fringe-trimmed base, Sandro’s crochet bag is a true treasure. Invest in this piece, and you won’t regret it.
I must admit, my bag collection is a bit basic. So, I’ve decided to zhuzh things up a little with Simon Miller’s whimsical fringe bag designed with a bamboo top handle and leather trim.
While scrolling through Nordstrom's site, I spotted Cynthia Rowley’s fringed tote and instantly fell for its chic shade. However, if your wardrobe is already filled with black bags, the brand also offers this style in burgundy and copper brown.
Look closely, and you’ll notice that Staud’s fringed Lennox bag features two-tone hardware. I love how his style tactfully blends gold and silver without feeling overwhelming.
You don’t have to spend a fortune to try out the boho bag trend. This option from Zara is just $50, so you’re sure to save a pretty penny.
