The Best Bags for Men in 2025

The Trending Designer Bag

First, there are the 'It' bags. The Lemaire Croissant, shaped like the pastry, arrives this season in an exclusive colourway; Prada’s bestselling Re-Nylon styles; and don’t forget Bottega Veneta’s Andiamo and the Loewe Puzzle, masterclasses in artisanal leatherworking. Today’s leading proportions are bold and capacious – think an oversized tote or slouchy satchel – while the palette errs towards neutrals like black, brown and beige. Ideal for heavily-laden lives, these pieces are easy to wear with anything from a suit to the timeless pieces in a modern capsule wardrobe.

The Tote Bag

Few pieces blend practicality with aesthetics quite like a tote bag. Unlike a briefcase or a crossbody, a sleek leather tote can hold all you might need in a day, and will seamlessly transition from the gym to the office and after-work drinks. Giorgio Armani’s black suede option is a perfect example. Crafted in Italy, it has a buttery soft feel contrasted with smooth leather trims, allowing it to cross effortlessly from formal to casual occasions. With its clean lines and simple design, it’ll make you look out together with minimal effort, and can be worn with pretty much anything.

Spotlight On: Louis Vuitton

No one understands bags quite like Louis Vuitton. The maison’s founder apprenticed for seventeen years before launching his own brand in 1854, quickly becoming known as the last word on luggage. Today, creative director Pharrell Williams continues to blaze ahead with instantly recognisable cult styles – the most coveted being the Speedy P9, now gloriously reimagined in striking primary colours. The brand's Autumn/Winter collection brings a new range of updated styles like the Keepall Bandoulière 50 and Trio Messenger – a bold reinvention of preppy codes for the 21st century. Available in-store only in Menswear on the Second Floor.
