A leather bag is a fall staple but, this season, denim is inching its way in to become the new classic. All of the handbag silhouettes you’ve come to love in leather are now being crafted in denim. Just like a pair of jeans, there are bags in every shade of denim – spanning light, medium, and dark washes. That way, you can grab a bag that perfectly matches your favorite pair of jeans for a monochromatic look.

Wild Fable Crescent Shoulder Handbag

Wild Fable’s Crescent Shoulder Handbag is a sleek denim bag that fits your essentials. There’s a zipper compartment that opens up to the body of the bag. Inside there’s a zip pocket and a slip pocket, along with enough space in the center for your phone and card case. On the front of the bag, there’s a smaller zip pocket for you to carry anything small that you need to reach for in a pinch – including your lip gloss. 

The outside of the bag also features two buckle accents for a bit of a moto look. More importantly, this bag has an adjustable top handle. That way, you can carry it in the crook of your elbow or over the shoulder.

Steve Madden’s Nikki Bag Denim Fabric is a two-in-one clutch. You can hold this purse in your hand when you’re going out for dinner. But, you can add the removable denim crossbody strap for your next grocery store run. 

This trapezoidal pouch has a structured top closer so that, when you open the bag, you can easily see what’s inside. This bag uses a magnetic snap to keep your belongings secure.

JW PEI Gabbi Denim Ruched Hobo Handbag

JW PEI’s Gabbi Denim Ruched Hobo Handbag is a newer take on the popular silhouette. It features a ruched top handle that reminds you of a denim scrunchie. Then, the body of the bag has even pleats to complement the ruched look. The inside of the bag has one slip pocket so you can easily access your phone or wallet.

Brandon Blackwood’s Quincy Top Handle Bag looks like denim but is actually leather. The top handle is blue leather, but the entire body of the bag will have you questioning whether or not it’s actually made of leather. Close up, the denim finish looks very realistic. The bag has a front flap with a hidden magnetic closure. Inside there’s one large compartment for your essentials.

The Denim Small Tote Bag by Marc Jacobs is a different take on the tote that usually comes in canvas or leather. It uses a patchwork design to show off light, medium, and deep denim washes. White stitches keep the panels of the bag together. 

A unique touch is that there are golden leather touches. The top handle features leather in the center to cover the denim underneath. The detachable crossbody strap has leather on both ends. And, the back of the bag has a Marc Jacobs leather patch– just like on a pair of structured jeans.

Diesel’s 1 dr XS is a denim handbag that’s decked-out in clear crystals. On the front of the bag, there’s a large silver-toned D (for Diesel) logo with crystals filling every crevice. Beneath the logo, there’s also crystals on the denim to fill in the negative space. Then, the entire front flap has a smattering of cascading crystals that travel to just the upper portion of the back of the bag. The sides and underbelly of the bag has crystals too. 

The top handle, front portion under the flap, and the majority of the back of the bag are the only sections without crystals. This denim bag also comes with a removable adjustable leather strap.

If you love the woven leather look that is a Bottega Veneta signature. Then, take a look at the  Intrecciato Denim Bucket Bag. It basically takes the same technique but swaps out the leather for cotton-based denim. The Italian-made bucket bag boasts a drawstring closure that also serves as a crossbody strap. Best of all, this dark denim bag only has a few brass accents where the strap passes through the bag. That way, you can wear whatever jewelry you’d like.
