The ascendant 2025 purse traits strike the steadiness between sensible and attention-grabbing, seeing you thru any event on the docket. For the workplace, the up-and-coming silhouettes run the gamut, from the outsized slouchy carryalls (noticed at Proenza Schouler) to briefcase-esque totes (seen at Hermès). For an night out in town, set your sights on the high-shine purses, as modeled on the Chanel and Louis Vuitton runways. And a fast weekend journey? Maybe one of many stylish backpacks demo’d by Miu Miu, Bottega Veneta, or Coach will strike your fancy.
