Menswear trends come and go – and eventually go round in circles – but if there’s one item in our sartorial arsenals that stands the test of time and can truly be considered an heirloom-worthy piece, it’s got to be the bag. As we look to the latest collections, there’s a wealth of styles worthy of our attention – and yours.

From a fresh take on LOEWE’s Puzzle Edge belt bag in an autumn-ready olive colourway, artfully woven totes from Bottega Veneta, Gucci’s Jackie messenger in pea-green patent leather, the perfect back-to-work briefcase from Montblanc and plenty more, you’ve come to the right place to, er, bag yourself this season’s most-wanted styles.

LOEWE’s Puzzle bag is always at the top of our wish list, but this belt-bag iteration, reimagined in an olive-green palette, feels like a particularly apt addition to our trans-seasonal wardrobes. It also folds completely flat, which makes it ideal when packing for any trip you may have coming up.

In the market for something you can turn to every day that will still leave a lasting impression, wherever you go? SAINT LAURENT’s messenger can, ahem, shoulder that. It’s crafted from textured leather, giving the kind of retro appeal of something you’ve owned for years.

Bottega Veneta’s skillfully woven tote bag exemplifies the kind of leatherwork expertise we’ve come to expect from the Italian luxury brand season after season – and that it successfully delivers. Spacious and streamlined, this style makes a refined alternative to a classic briefcase on your daily commute.

Montblanc’s weekender sits somewhere between a holdall and a briefcase, so it’s the perfect companion for the office and quick getaways alike. It’s part of the Origin collection, celebrating a century of the brand's iconic Meisterstück writing instruments, so look out for the small details – the hardware is shaped to resemble the label’s pen nibs.

Trench coats are Burberry’s bread and butter – and one of the brand’s best-selling items. So we’re not surprised to find ourselves particularly fond of this practical bag, which is made from the same gabardine as the popular jackets. The sage-green colour and gold-tone hardware complement one another perfectly.

LEMAIRE is a testament to timeless Parisian style in all its glory – “cosmopolitan and rich in influences”, as the brand describes it. Yet its leather Croissant bag is as modern as one can get. The supple, puffy leather construction? Mouthwatering, if you ask us.

If there were ever a bag that deserved the title of It-bag over the past few seasons, it would have to be Gucci’s Jackie. Rendered here in a pea-green iteration and a patent-leather construction, it may seem the bag of now – but we have no doubt that the recently revisited style will stick around for a long time.

TOM FORD’s Monarch bag is exactly what we have in mind when we think of an investment piece – perfectly formed to be sleek and functional, and you’ll never tire of the croc-effect leather in a rich brown hue. The strap is long enough to be carried cross-body or over the shoulder.
