Spotted on the arms of fashion people in London, Paris, and NYC, meet the textural bag trend that’s reclaiming its rank as a spring 2026 must-have. That’s right, the woven bag trend is quietly making its return as spring’s It-bag. Its popularity isn’t to be questioned. The timeless basket-weave texture, the flexible leather structure, and the arisinal look all add to its quiet luxury appeal. Reminiscent of designer craftsmanship like Bottega Veneta‘s intrecciato leather, I predict the woven bag trend isn’t going anywhere soon. I do, however, predict spring 2026 to evolve the silhouette and how it’s styled.
With that, I’d like to present the Madewell Signature Woven Tote as my editor-approved choice. Located in its new arrivals for its release in three new colors, the tote pairs excellently with a pair of cigarette jeans, linen trousers, or a poplin skirt. It’s chic, yet practical. The oversize tote fits a laptop, charger, a pair of subway flats, and a wallet, with room to spare. Double down on the woven texture, and pair it with an open-weave Mary Jane or mule (which you can also find at Madewell). Personally, I’d style it with a suede jacket to optimize the bohemian nature of the trend.
Also, spotted four other silhouettes in its new arrivals: a shoulder bag, a crossbody bag, a bucket bag, and a zip-top shoulder bag. This spring, the best woven bags feature Madewell‘s signature weave. It’s handwoven, affordable, and easy to style.
