Photo: SuppliedIf your camera roll is full of screenshots of Kendall Jenner’s latest looks as she walks around Beverly Hills, you already know: in 2026, the outfit is almost secondary. The real status signal is what is hanging from her arm<\/a>.<\/p>\n Handbags have always been tiny billboards for taste, but this year the celebrity It-bags feel especially pointed \u2013 less quiet luxury<\/a>, more \u201cI know exactly what I am doing\u201d. The fun twist is that the hottest celebrity handbags so far in 2026 are split between revivals and brand new obsessions. Chemena Kamali is resurrecting Chlo\u00e9\u2019s most nostalgic hit, Matthieu Blazy is softening the Chanel flap, and Demna is pushing a very specific east-west silhouette at Gucci.<\/p>\n Demna\u2019s first big bag for Gucci, introduced with the Spring\/Summer 2026 collection, is tailored to the moment. The Borsetto is a sleek, east-west, bowling\u2011style Boston bag with horsebit hardware and that unmistakable green\u2011red webbing.<\/p>\n Dua Lipa has carried it with a bomber jacket<\/a> and sheer skirt, Tyla has styled hers with low-rise army green capris, while Demi Moore and Kate Moss have opted for the more classic GG canvas.<\/p>\n It looks glam, but the shape is surprisingly practical \u2014 you can slide in a laptop, a book, and two lip glosses without playing Tetris at the checkout counter. If you love a logo and travel constantly, this is the celebrity It-bag for 2026 that does both duty and drama.<\/p>\n Matthieu Blazy looked at the sacred Chanel flap and decided it could loosen up a little. For Spring\/Summer 2026<\/a>, he stripped away the classic quilting, cut the body in smooth napa leather, and relaxed the structure into something softer and roomier.<\/p>\n Kendall Jenner has already turned the new flap into her unofficial briefcase, wearing a burgundy version to a Beverly Hills work meeting with a sharp The Row jacket, boot\u2011cut jeans, and square\u2011toe flats. Hailey Bieber and Blackpink\u2019s Jennie have been spotted with similar styles, slung casually over the shoulder, like they have owned them for years.<\/p>\n It sits in the same universe as the Chanel 25 that Margot Robbie champions, but feels even more undone. If you want something that reads boardroom and brunch, this is the one.<\/p>\n Originally launched in 2002 in the Tom Ford era, the Saint Laurent Mombasa was reissued this year and has already been called the first It-bag of 2026. The curved hobo shape, often finished with that sculptural horn\u2011like handle, hits the sweet spot between boho and razor\u2011sharp. Bella Hadid has been photographed racing around New York with the small size tucked under her arm, while Ros\u00e9 has worn the medium over slinky tailoring in Seoul.<\/p>\n On the street, it reads as vintage, even when it is fresh from the boutique, which is precisely the point. If you still have Sienna Miller\u2019s old paparazzi pictures pinned on Pinterest, the Mombasa is your modern upgrade.<\/p>\n The Chlo\u00e9 Paddington has lived several lives. Debuted in 2005 by Phoebe Philo, it became shorthand for boho heiress style on Kate Moss, Sienna Miller, and Jennifer Lopez. Under Chemena Kamali, Chlo\u00e9 brought it back for Fall\/Winter 2025 \u2014 same slouchy, elongated shape and padlock, but with lighter hardware, a single zip, and adjustable straps.<\/p>\n Daisy Edgar\u2011Jones was spotted with a deep blue version months before it hit stores. Katie Holmes carried hers on the set of Happy Hours<\/em>, and Alexa Chung, naturally, has adopted it like she never stopped. A new campaign has looped in Kendall Jenner, Aimee Lou Wood, and K\u2011pop star Anna from Meovv, while younger names like Doechii, Amelia Gray, and Tate McRae have made the Paddington a TikTok regular.<\/p>\n If you are padding between meetings and after\u2011work drinks, it has just enough room and romance to do both.<\/p>\n The Row refuses to chase trends, which is ironic considering how many It-bags it has created. In 2026, the Marlo is the insider choice. Medium in size, softly structured, with a top handle and a functional zip, it feels like the Margaux\u2019s chicer little sister<\/a>.<\/p>\n Kendall Jenner has been photographed with hers on off\u2011duty days when she still looks mysteriously expensive but not \u201ctry hard\u201d. There are no screaming logos, just gently slouchy leather and impeccable proportions.<\/p>\n If your wardrobe is ninety percent black, navy, and white, the Marlo is quiet\u2011luxury armor that will not date by the time SS27 rolls around.<\/p>\n The Prada Route is for people who treat their bag like a portable apartment. It is a rectangular, top\u2011handle style with a gratifying number of pockets inside and out, giving off polished cargo\u2011pant energy.<\/p>\n Initially divisive, it started to make sense the second Alexa Chung was seen carrying it. Emma Chamberlain and Ruby Lyn followed, pairing it with everything from pleated minis to slouchy denim. It feels particularly 2026 \u2014 functionality as aesthetic, not an afterthought.<\/p>\n If you are forever digging for your keys at the bottom of a tote, the Route might save your sanity and your outfit.<\/p>\n When Ala\u00efa released the Le Teckel in 2024, fashion people lost it. The elongated east-west proportions and neat top handle made it look like the chicest dachshund in town. Two years later, it has refused to fade into trend oblivion.<\/p>\n Rosie Huntington\u2011Whiteley and Hailey Bieber both own it in multiple colorways, while Rihanna and Tracee Ellis Ross have leaned into bolder, sculptural versions. What could have been a micro\u2011bag gimmick has settled into \u201cfuture classic\u201d territory thanks to its clean lines and luxurious finishes.<\/p>\n If your nights are more martinis than meetings, this is the one to have tucked in your elbow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":42686,"featured_media":69954,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[10459,36,65,35,8762],"yoast_head":"\nGucci Borsetto Bag<\/a><\/h3>\n
