Padlocks, Suede, and Fringe: The Boho Bag Trend Is Back, Baby
Accessorize like an Olsen twin this spring.


Stitched with grainy leather and glossy hardware, Chloé’s free-spirited Paddington bag made its debut in 2005, during an era when fashion favored polarizing bohemian styles, like clunky wooden wedges and floor-sweeping flared jeans. Two decades later, on Chloé’s Fall 2025 runway, creative director Chemena Kamali brought the early-aughts purse out of retirement, styling it alongside lace blouses, sheer skirts, and cut-out ballet flats. In doing so, Chloé ignited the boho bag trend revival.
The cherished fashion house isn’t the only label embracing boho bags—plenty of other brands have also demonstrated their own eclectic interpretations of the nostalgic style. Across the Spring 2025 catwalks, Isabel Marant showcased sumptuous suede bags, Ralph Lauren anchored its nautical-inspired outfits with woven raffia totes, and Zimmermann championed a capacious carryall stitched with fringed fabric. Beyond the fashion month circuit, retailers such as Anthropologie and Sézane are offering earth-toned boho bags drenched in crafty embellishments.

If this retro accessory trend has piqued your interest, you’re not alone. On Google, the monthly search volume for the term “vintage boho bags” has increased by 84 percent over the last 12 months, signaling a burgeoning boho craze. So, why not give in to the look already? Ahead, discover 30 boho bags that will help you to do just that—from upscale designer options to casual alternatives.
Leather Boho Bags
On Chloé’s Fall 2025 runway, the label’s Paddington bag stole the show.
For an elevated feel, reach for a boho bag in glossy leather. If you want a versatile purse that pairs nicely with practically any outfit, stick with neutral styles in mocha mousse, chocolate brown, or midnight black. Provided that you'd like to try a pop of color instead, consider this season’s juicy cherry red color trend.
Suede Boho Bags
According to Isabel Marant, the best way to play into the boho trend is by way of a suede shoulder bag.
There’s no doubt that velvety suede bags exude a strong ‘70s-inspired energy. Embrace an old-school attitude with the designs below and amp up the boho volume by styling your bag of choice with a ruffled chiffon blouse and espadrille wedges.
Woven Boho Bags
For sun-kissed moments by the shore, Ralph Lauren suggests carrying a woven bag by your side.
Your travel capsule wardrobe simply isn’t complete without a collection of bohemian woven bags, from charming straw crossbodies to intricate macrame bucket bags. These beach-ready accessories will effortlessly enhance your lightweight linen dresses and gauzy swimsuit cover-ups.
Fringed Boho Bags
In the world of Zimmermann, the more fringe, the better.
Famously worn by Y2K boho enthusiasts like the Olsen twins and Nicole Richie, fringed bags have always been an It-girl favorite. While some of the styles below look like they've been pulled straight from an early 2000s closet, others offer contemporary twists with sculptural silhouettes.
Embellished Boho Bags
Chloé’s Spring 2025 collection gave the typical boho bag style a modern upgrade with eye-catching adornments.
Stand apart from the crowd with a striking boho bag that will instantly make heads turn. Opt for a handbag decorated with bold embellishments—like metal buckles and studs—or lean into softer styles crafted with dainty floral details.
