Every person who cares about fashion has their “thing.” For me, one of those has always been bags (and shoes , and sunglasses ).
I still vividly remember my first bag in middle school: a Coach shoulder bag. Years later, my first designer purchase as an adult was the Granny Frame Purse from Vivienne Westwood . At the moment, brands like Balenciaga , Khaite , Mulberry , Saint Laurent , and Toteme are on my dream bag wish list, which are all stocked at Nordstrom .
As a bag person , I went through Nordstrom ’s inventory to find the best bag trends for 2026 . Whether your style is timeless or you love discovering emerging designers , there’s something for every taste and budget, from under-$100 pieces to investment items over $1000. There are even unexpected (and amusing) animal-shaped clutches from JW Anderson (a pigeon and a hedgehog).
Keep scrolling to shop the best 2026 bag trends at Nordstrom , starting at $60 all the way up to $4,300.
