This Non-Boring Bag Trend Is a Holiday No-Brainer, and I Found 8 Styles Starting at $22

I’m so happy fashion is in its red era. It’s been my favorite color for years. In fact, I call it my power color — and rightfully so, given the fact I’m an Aries. Red is a passionate, bold, and fearless shade, and when I want to bring these traits into my day-to-day, I’ll usually add a pop of the hue into my outfit. But it’s also a two-in-one opportunity because the holidays are here, and we all know this is the most popular time of the year for all things red. 

So it should come as no surprise that after getting Brahmin’s vintage-red crossbody bag, I haven’t stopped wearing it. And now I need several more red bags in my arsenal. So, I rounded up a few of my go-to red handbags, like a style from Longchamp, an iconic pick from Marc Jacobs, as well as some cheaper options from Amazon that are just as good — and start at just $22, at that.

Brahmin Shayna Croc-Embossed Leather Crossbody Bag

I recently professed my love for Brahmin’s Shayna bag, hoping to find it wrapped under the tree. Well, Christmas came early, and I can wholeheartedly say this bag is even more breathtaking in person. It comes in the rich, trending cherry-red shade, perfect for the holiday season, and features gold-colored hardware, a zipper closure, interior slip and zipper pocket, and an exterior slip pocket for your phone. There’s also a key leash clip, so those don’t get lost in your bag, and an adjustable crossbody strap for multi-wear opportunities. 

Montana West Slouchy Shoulder Bag

I also own the Montana West bag in a classic brown, and it’s been my go-to for months. I do wish I’d picked up the statement red shade, instead, but there are 20 colors to choose from, so I might as well scoop up another. The style features an adjustable shoulder strap that can be worn as a crossbody, an easy snap closure, and zipper pouch to hold lipstick, keys, and other small items securely. Best of all? The bag is lightweight thanks to the soft faux leather, and it’s super spacious.

Longchamp Medium Le Pliage Shoulder Tote

The Longchamp Medium Le Pliage Tote is a timeless tote for everyday wear, but this warm red shade takes the classic bag to the next level. It’s made from a water-resistant nylon fabric with contrasting brown leather detailing, and features an elongated leather top handle that comfortably fits over the shoulder, a snap-flap closure, and a secondary zipper pocket for extra security. Inside, there’s a large and small slip pocket that’s great for organizing and easily accessing frequently used items.

Red bags take any look to another level. Think: If you’re wearing a simple, all-black look, the easiest way to make the outfit really pop is with a fiery-red bag. Shop more crimson totes perfect for the holidays and beyond below.
