The fall handbag compendium: Trending styles from Quince, Marc Jacobs, Coach and more

If you're as excited for fall fashion as us, you're probably thinking about one of the easiest ways to update any look: A new bag!

Using search data and the trends we're seeing across social media and the fashion world at large, we've compiled a list of trending handbags, totes and more to help you find your next favorite everyday carryall now before the weather starts to cool.

Some patterns emerged in our research, including the continued prevalence of tote bags (busy days call for a bag that can carry it all), suede bags (a classic for fall) and designer brands in the "affordable luxury" category (a small investment without leaving you broke).
