COURTESY OF LOEWEStyle Notes: Shearling jackets might be all the rage thanks to Toteme and Mango but now, we're seeing teddy textures make the leap onto bags, too. From Max Mara to Mango, there's a cuddly tote or top handle to suit every budget this season.

COURTESY OF PRADAStyle Notes: When it comes to handbags, silhouette plays an integral role. A counter to the soft shapes seen above, Prada debuted chic trapezoid handbags that the fashion crowd have since zeroed in on.

COURTESY OF MICHAEL KORSStyle Notes: We've seen the revival of many western-inspired trends this year and, get this, there's still time for one more. Fringing cropped up everywhere, from Michael Kors to Ralph Lauren to Stella McCartney and, now that we've pointed it out, you're about to see it all over the market, too.

COURTESY OF MIU MIUStyle Notes: Clutch bags always make a comeback for party season but, this time around, they look and feel a little different. Now, it's all about pouches you can genuinely fit all of your essentials into. Bonus points if you snap up COS's faux-shearling style to tick off two of our trends in one go.

COURTESY OF VICTORIA BECKHAMStyle Notes: Mock croc textures never fail to look elevated. Sure, the styles on offer at Victoria Beckham and Saint Laurent command higher price points and, in turn, should look as expensive as they are. But if you're working to a budget, rest assured you can get the sleek look with more affordable options too.
