There is an accessory that practically sums up summer: the basket bag. Made of raffia or jute, small, oversized, or even converted into a city bag, during the warm months it pairs with dresses, linen trousers, sandals and basically any look we can think of. However, September always brings that moment when we start to feel like changing the summer accessories.
This autumn 2026, moreover, trends make it especially easy for us. In contrast to the impractical mini-bags of other seasons, designs are returning that can hold virtually everything, from XL shoulder bags to models with a top handle and elongated silhouettes. Therefore, if you’re thinking of putting the basket bag away after the holidays, these are the bags that can replace it starting in September.
The Trending Bags for the September Season
The good news is that you don’t have to wait for autumn to officially arrive to start wearing them. Many of the bags that will mark the upcoming season work perfectly from September and pair with both the latest summer dresses and the first jeans, blazers, or ballet flats. These are the models that will take over from the basket bag and that are worth having on your radar already.
