These bags are ideal for daytime events or weekends out. They have enough structure to hold essentials yet look relaxed and feminine. Bold or sweet outfits can pair well with the basket shape, and UK buyers might find them a fun contrast to heavier winter fabrics. Beyond straw, Self-Portrait also offers leather bags with the same bow motif, giving a more formal option. The playful silhouette of their baskets lends itself to casual chic, but if you prefer structure, their leather shoulder bags capture the same feminine details.

Meanwhile, Uma Wang’s black-and-mustard leather crossbody offers a more subdued palette, making it versatile for many outfits. Both pieces show how classic materials can make a big impact: the gold hardware of the Tess adds a luxe accent, while the Uma Wang’s two-tone design brings a bit of edge. These medium-sized bags are perfect for everyday use — big enough for essentials, yet compact and lightweight. They cater to women who want designer quality without going into overtly flashy territory. Both the Chloé and Uma Wang styles frequently appear in street-style inspiration images, reflecting their broad appeal. You might see the Chloé Tess bag adding a splash of luxury to a simple jeans-and-jumper look. Remember that luxury does not always mean delicate — many shoppers wear these bags daily without worry, thanks to high-quality materials.
How to Choose Your AW25 Handbag
When picking a new designer handbag, think about your lifestyle and closet staples. Versatility is key: opt for a neutral leather tote for daily use and a coloured accent bag for standout moments. Also consider size and functionality — a well-structured Valextra Nano or The Row tote will carry more than a mini crossbody like Savette’s, for example. As Vogue notes, luxury bags often behave like investment pieces. That means choosing classic shapes (think croissant bag or a clean tote) can pay off over time. Finally, keep an eye out for sales or special offers on bags — a timely bags sale could make it more affordable to snag a top AW25 designer pick in the UK. Keep an eye on new arrivals too, as the AW25 season progresses — designers often release additional colourways or mini-editions. Also note that Acne Studios and Toteme (available at Minox) bring a Scandinavian cool to the mix if you want more minimalist options. Ultimately, the right AW25 handbag is one you feel excited to carry every day!
