2025 has already seen its share of accesory trends, from slouch bags to large totes, but the latest style hitting the streets this spring is the belted bag.
This trend is inspired by Birkin and has been implemented by designer brands like Prada, Manu Atelier, Miu Miu and more. Celebrities such as Dua Lipa, Nara Smith and Hailey Bieber have been seen sporting belted bags.
It makes sense that the classic Birkin bag is inspiring 2025 trends with the rise of “quiet luxury.” Birkins have always been status symbols with their simple design adored by those “in the know.”
A huge part of the belted bag trend’s appeal is how this small belt detail elevates a bag. From mini handle bags to leather tote bags, a belt with metal hardware or buckles looks good with any style.
The most simple/subtle bag can be completely transformed by the synching of a belt. On the other hand, the belt accessory also complements the most extravagant bags and gives them an extra edge.
Like regular belts worn with bottoms, the belted bag trend is also very versatile. It adds a sophisticated detail that mirrors a briefcase but still screams designer.
Here are some of the most popular designer bags of the season. Look out for other brands this spring that may take after this timeless design.
This Prada design is one of the season’s first iterations of the belted bag trend, setting the tone. The bag pairs a simplistic design with the uniqueness of the belt detail to create something fresh.
This bag by Miu Miu is another first and one of the most popular belted bags to hit the fashion scene this year. The brand is already uber popular right now, but this bag takes its “cool girl” aesthetic up a notch.
OSOI, a Seoul-based fashion brand, is embracing the belted bag trend in a fun way with its Shoulder Brocle Bag. It features a 360 degree belt with metal buckles and key loops adorning it.
Manu Atelier took a subtle approach to the belted bag trend with its Le Cambon 35. This suede leather option is perfect for those that want to add an everyday bag to their collection.
This bag by TOTEME combines several popular trends of the season with belt detail adorning the bucket-tote silhouette to create a unique piece.
Another bucket tote bag, this one by CHARLES AND KEITH makes a statement with its edgy metal buckles and belt loops that envelop the bag.
