After a long, hot summer, there’s a back-to-school feeling in the air, and the fashion world is preparing for a reset. Whilst the languid days still roll on, slowly we’re starting to compile our autumn wardrobes. Loafers are laid out to be polished, wool trousers ready to be pressed, and the first jacket is hanging by the door, in preparation for the looming shift in weather. Moving through the core updates that will ease us into autumn, next on my list is to brush the sand of my basket bag and nestle it into the back of my wardrobe, making space for something a little sturdier, a little fresher. And if you’re currently considering which bag will take over from your raffia tote, a fresh wave of inspiration has rolled in as the first It bags of Autumn 2026 have been unveiled.

If you kept a keen eye on the autumn/winter 2026 runways, then you may already be familiar with the new season lineup. Whilst last year saw a focus on revived heritage bags, this autumn is all about subtle signatures applied to new releases, with each one feeling like an in-the-know discovery.

Bottega Veneta’s Giorno reinforces the significance of an identifying weave through its clutch style and reminds us how the brand reinvented the clutch once before and is about to do it all over again. At The Row, silhouette and form still guide designs with the curved, clean lines of the Alma Baguette, whilst Miu Miu’s playfulness comes through by way of the Vivant silhouette, nodding to the bowling bag with a soft trapeze shape and rich colourways.

7. Loewe Amazona 180
Style Notes: The Loewe Amazona 180 has spent the past few months settling into the chicest wardrobes around. The original Amazona was released in 1975, and to celebrate Loewe’s 180th anniversary, the brand brought back the iconic style with an updated silhouette but still retaining the history of the original. Designed to be worn slightly open, even the inner lining is a key feature of the design, with the Loewe anagram on the lining to nod to the bag’s origin.
