As soon as we spotted the Coach Brooklyn bag on supermodel Bella Hadid, we knew that crescent-shaped shoulder bags were going to be back in a big way.
Pictured strutting around New York City with the sleek, oversized style via the Vogue Magazine Instagram account, the style star’s photos had fashion fans clamouring for a similar (or the exact same) slouchy style.

But it’s not just the Hadid fact that’s heating up the handbag silhouette. The effortless accessory design has been a trending handbag style on and off — it was once popularly referred to as a “hobo” bag — since it debuted in the 1930s.
And for good reason.
Sleek yet roomy, the right shoulder bag can add a productive polish to your fall fashion and back-to-school outfits. Here are five of our current favourites.

UNIQLO Faux Leather Shoulder Bag
Japanese clothing brand Uniqlo had a huge hit with its crescent-shaped Round Mini Shoulder Bag. The straightforward accessory style has become a must-have item for many. Building on that design’s success, the company recently released this chic faux leather version, which is basically the sophisticated older sister of the fan-favourite nylon release.
$39.90 | Uniqlo

Roots Small Lexi Cloud Bag
A cool Canadian offering, this Small Lexi Cloud Bag from Roots offers the perfect in-between sized accessory. Large enough to fit all the day’s essentials, but not too big and bulky for those who favour a more streamlined look, this shoulder bag is designed and handcrafted in the brand’s Toronto leather factory.

Coach Brooklyn Shoulder Bag 28
The bag that brought the buzz back to big shoulder bags, the Coach Brooklyn is available in two sizes — 28 and 39 — to suit your specific preferences. While the larger style is supermodel approved (as previously mentioned), we like the versatility of this just-big-enough version, the 28. Plus, we’re loving this fresh green hue.
$310 | Coach

A luxe option for the designer brand loyalists, this Low Key Hobo from the luxury French fashion house Louis Vuitton proves to be a perfect quiet luxury (read: largely logo-free) option. Crafted from a soft-grained calfskin with suede lining, the style boasts an engraved padlock accent at the strap that offers a nod to one of the iconic LV codes, for those in the know.
$5,150 | Louis Vuitton

A Bronze Age Alice Satin Shoulder Bag With Rosette
From the small Vancouver-based brand A Bronze Age — one of our 20 cool-girl Canadian brands to know — this Alice shoulder bag is pure romance thanks to a satin material and contrasting coloured rosette. Made in Canada, the sweet shoulder bag is poised to become a favourite piece this fall.
$185 | Holt Renfrew
