Burgundy, Plum, Aubergine — whatever you call her, she is *the* IT color of Fall and Winter 2025.
This deep, rich shade of red is the perfect complement to the season’s cooler temperatures and autumnal color palette. Whether you’re looking for a statement piece to elevate your everyday outfits or something special to complete your evening ensembles, you’ll find plenty of options to choose from.
Leading luxury brands showcased their Fall 2023 collections, featuring an array of burgundy bags on nearly every model’s arm. From sleek and minimalist to ornate and embellished, there’s something for everyone. These bags are crafted from the finest materials, such as soft leather and sumptuous suede, ensuring both durability and style. Whether you’re a fan of classic designs (check out the Longchamp tote) or more avant-garde pieces (peep the Alexander McQueen below), you’ll be able to find the perfect bag to suit your taste and needs. So why not add a burgundy tote, small bag, or clutch to your wardrobe this fall? It’s the perfect way to stay on-trend and elevate your personal style.
Luxury Burgundy Tote Bags Fall 2025
Small Christian Dior Tote Bag in Burgundy Multicolor with Mizza Embroidery. Available at Dior.
This was the last tote I found to include, but the first to be included. It’s made every wish list I have for the next year…birthday? Yes, please! Anniversary? You betchya! Secretary’s Day? I don’t see why not. This piece is funky enough to be timeless and the silhouette is a classic which adds to the timelessness of this Dior bag. Consider this a bonus bag 🙂
Longchamp Medium Le Pliage Shoulder Tote in Plum. Available at Nordstrom.
The Longchamp Shoulder Tote has been in my life since college in the early aughts. And, the bags lasted from then to now, only slightly worse for the wear. If you’re looking for a bag that can be a twenty year investment and stand up to every day wear, she’s your girl.
The Row Devon Leather Tote Bag in Burgundy. Available at Saks.
Peak Quiet Luxury. The Row quality is unparalleled. This bag will get you from Fall 2023 to Fall 2033. The curved pyramid shape feels like an icon in the making. With a sturdy base and reinforced handles the bag can withstand frequent use–even frequent mom life use. The gold handle loops and zippers add a luxe feel to the cool shape.
Chloe Marcie Leather Tote Bag in Dark Ruby. Available at Saks.
This is the ideal everything and everywhere bag this fall. Gets you from morning carpool to evening games and all your meetings in between. The dual top woven handles that top the Marcie are a masterpiece in themselves. Crafted with polished leather and a contrast lining are each attached to the bag with gold D-shaped rings. The bag also has a flap closure on top to keep all the hot mess express inside. Screams cool mom sauntering through her day in Paris…or me tootling around the suburbs?
Saint Laurent Small Le 5 a 7 Leather Hobo in Rouge Legion. Available at Nordstrom.
This bag is new for YSL for Fall 2023. It’s not exactly a tote, but a large hobo with a fantastic shape and luxurious shade of burgundy. I love the functional placement of the YSL logo. The suede lining adds an extra touch of luxe to this new purse. Great practical elements of this purse include a zippered inside pocket, adjustable shoulder strap, and a hook tab closure. This would pair great with your plaid oversized blazer, crisp denim and riding boot.
Small Bags and Clutches in Burgundy for Fall 2023
Mulberry Amberley Satchel in Oxblood. Available at Nordstroms.

The house’s storied intrecciato pattern in shoes and handbags, alongside its signature minimalist ready-to-wear, have made the label an editor and It-girl favorite.
Alexander McQueen Crystal Jeweled Embellished Clutch in Prune. Available at Nordstrom.
Glitzy badass are not two adjectives I usually associate with each other. But in the case of this Alexander McQueen clutch the pair makes perfection. This is the kind of bag you plan all your big event outfits around. The combination of the crystals in fall’s it color with the signature McQueen gothic knuckle clasp make this perfect for everything from concerts to art gallery openings to holiday galas.
Tory Burch McGraw Camera Bag. Available at Bloomingdale’s.
This is a great everyday bag. Fits cash, phone, lip gloss and other essentials. Totally reasonable price ($238) for a ‘luxury’ brand. I love a bag that zips up for walking around crowded areas and I love that the chain is long enough to wear on my shoulder or cross-body.
DeMellier Midi Montreal in Burgundy Smooth. Available at DeMillier.
Okay, first–this is a gorgeous dainty and yet structured bag. One of the pluses of this brand is that they source ethically and sustainably. DeMillier also prides itself on their top-rated social practices. But, the renowned Spanish and Italian tanneries they use to produce these bags elevates the craftsmanship and beauty.
Bottega Veneta Chain Cassette Bag in Burgundy. Available at Nordstrom.
The chunky chain on this Bottega is so fun. It feels like this is a Jeff Koons version of a Bottega clutch.

Strathberry Ace Mini Croc-Embossed in Burgundy. Available at Strathberry.
Strathberry is another brand that is relatively new to my orbit. The brand’s signature is the striking gold bar. The ten year old brand describes itself as:
“Strathberry is an Edinburgh-based and internationally known brand specialising in luxury leather goods, founded in 2013 by husband-and-wife team Guy and Leeanne Hundleby.
Defined by elegant and understated lines and exceptional attention to detail, the Strathberry aesthetic is minimalist and contemporary, complemented by the signature bar closure which makes each Strathberry handbag instantly recognisable.”
Coach (RE)Loved Bags in Burgundy. Available at Coach.
You will be so pumped as you scroll Coach’s (RE)Loved section. They had oodles in Burgundy this fall and a wide variety of styles. The (RE)Loved section is divided into four divisions: remade, upcrafted, vintage, and restored.
Chloe Woman Burgundy Leather and Suede Small Handbag. Available at Walmart. On Sale.
This Chloe bag is cool without trying and chic without being prudish. The bag has suede and leather components. But what steals the show and will make your fall outfit are the gold rings that scream just came from the equestrian ring to the coolest brunch spot in town.
This was another cool find on my quest for the perfect fall luxury bag. Walmart now sells luxury goods through third party sellers. Some are refurbished and some are vintage and some seem new. Definitely worth checking on these bags. This one has a new low price that is pretty unbelievably great!
