Paris Fashion Week SS27: the bags, on the runway and the street
What Paris showed for spring/summer 2027, and what people actually carried to the shows in October 2026.
Short answer: Paris for spring/summer 2027 was about freedom of scale and softness: XL totes next to tiny minis, house icons made slouchier, and flashes of pink, lilac and yellow. On the street the story was colour on leather: aubergine, fire-engine red and burgundy. If you want one piece that carries the Paris mood into winter, a purple or red Fluff bag does it in real curly lamb.
Paris’s street-style colours, in fur
Dior: softer icons, more freedom
Familiar Dior but with much more freedom.
Vogue Arabia saw the Cigale and Dior Bow return with softer takes on the Lady Dior and Saddle, plus “fringe, tassels, metallic finishes and pink, lilac and yellow cutting through the house codes.” Who What Wear added a biker-inspired bag and a not-yet-named bowler-style bag it guessed “will be the most coveted buy.”
Margiela, Balmain, Dries: big and tiny
At Maison Margiela, Glenn Martens went from “huge, almost vanity-case shapes to tiny metallic minis” and softer bags in burgundy and pink. Balmain’s Antonin Tron paired XL black totes with tiny pouches — “The smaller the bag, the bigger the attitude,” as Vogue Arabia put it. Dries Van Noten’s bags were “soft, slouchy and generously sized.”
The street: colour on leather
…polished leather skirts and glossy patent jackets among the major standouts, especially in distinctly autumnal shades like deep aubergine, fire-engine red, and wine-tinged burgundy.
Those are the same shades we see across the autumn bag reports; we map them to real bags in the colours of winter 2026, and go deeper on purple and red.
Wear it
Take Paris’s “big bag, soft shape” idea and its colour. Our Fluff bag (45 × 35 × 20 cm) is a roomy rounded tote in purple, red, black, brown, grey and sand. For the spring side of SS27, a glossy jelly bag brings the pink, lilac and yellow.
Common questions
What were the bag trends at Paris Fashion Week SS27?
Big-versus-tiny proportions (XL totes beside jewel-sized minis at Balmain and Margiela), softer, slouchier versions of house icons (Dior’s Lady Dior and Cigale), fringe and tassels, and bold colour such as pink, lilac and yellow.
What bags did people carry at Paris Fashion Week street style?
British Vogue noted Chanel’s quilted bags under Matthieu Blazy making the rounds, and leather in deep aubergine, fire-engine red and wine-tinged burgundy as the key colour story.
Which colours were big in Paris in October 2026?
On the street: deep aubergine, fire-engine red and burgundy leather. On the runway: pink, lilac and yellow at Dior, burgundy and pink at Margiela, warm yellow at Balmain.
How can I get the Paris look without designer prices?
Take the colour, not the logo: a deep purple or red bag on a black or grey outfit. The jelli.world Fluff bag comes in purple and red real Mongolian lamb for £120.
