The Bags We Can’t Wait to See in The Devil Wears Prada 2 (So Far)

Miranda Priestly and Andy Sachs are officially returning to our screens. Though the sequel won’t arrive until next year, the style stakes already are sky-high. Because if there’s one thing we know, Miranda doesn’t do subtle, and neither does her wardrobe. From fierce outerwear to standout bags that promise to steal the spotlight, we’re keeping a close eye on every look.

And speaking of bags — Anne Hathaway is known to adore a big Birkin in real life, so will we finally see this ex-fashion intern’s signature accessory hit the big screen?

So far, Prada may be on foot rather than front and center — but plenty of other fabulous bags are making their mark. Let’s take a closer look at some of the bags expected to hit the big screen.

The Coach Metropolitan Briefcase: The Hardest Working Bag on Set

Seen time and time again with Andy Sachs during filming, the vintage Coach Metropolitan Briefcase might just be the hardest-working bag on The Devil Wears Prada 2 set. Defined by its clean, satchel-like flap and minimal branding, this classic briefcase balances practicality with timeless style — an ideal companion for an ex-fashion intern rushing through the city.

First introduced in the late ’80s (yes, even before The Devil Wears Prada hit screens the first time), the original Metropolitan Briefcase is a true heritage piece, favored for its functional design and durable leather. It’s since been discontinued, but vintage styles have become coveted collectors’ items. 

While Andy’s version is unmistakably vintage, Coach currently offers the Metropolitan Slim Brief in their men’s section — a no-fuss, modern nod to the original. But judging by how she’s carrying hers through the city, she might want to consider going crossbody for those brisk sidewalk sprints.

Coach has been on a serious rise lately, ranking as the world’s 5th hottest brand according to the Lyst Index for Q2 2025. The Brooklyn and Empire bags have been making waves this year, while the Kisslock Frame Bag made a standout appearance under Carrie Bradshaw’s arm in And Just Like That Season 3. But in The Devil Wears Prada 2, it’s the vintage Metropolitan that’s stealing the scene – understated, well loved, and already shaping up to be one of the film’s most memorable accessories.

Valentino – Nellcôte Suede Shoulder Bag with Fringes

Andy Sachs is giving us a hint of boho this time around — and we’re into it. Enter the Valentino Nellcôte Shoulder Bag — a soft, fringe-draped statement piece that adds a laid-back edge to her evolving style in The Devil Wears Prada 2. Styled with a matching chocolate brown suede jacket and a chic Hermès bandana, it’s a look that says: fashion editor off-duty — but still on the clock.

Crafted from rich Italian suede, the Nellcôte features cascading fringe, tonal dome-shaped studs, and subtle rivets for a textured finish. The open-top design keeps things easy to access, while palladium hardware and a discreet VLogo Signature add a touch of shine. The adjustable strap—with a 17.7-inch drop at the center hole—makes it easy to wear crossbody or casually over the shoulder.

Measuring 11.8 x 12.2 x 1.2 inches, the Nellcôtecan can effortlessly transition from day to night without feeling bulky. Andy’s version comes in Testa di Moro, a deep chocolate brown. For those craving something lighter, it also comes in Havana Beige, a warm neutral. At $2,690, it’s a luxurious piece with a serious personality.

Fendi – Basket Forty8 Bag

On vacay mode in The Devil Wears Prada 2, Andy Sachs nails laid-back luxury. Draped in a flowy Gabriela Hearst Spring 2025 maxi dress and paired with casual Chloé sandals, she balances Fendi’s Basket Forty8 atop a carry-on.

Crafted from blueberry-colored recycled plastic, the Basket Forty8 features a geometric FF weave that adds texture and visual interest. With its structured, open-top design, the Basket Forty8 offers easy access to a spacious, unlined compartment — ideal for everything from seaside strolls to resort lounging. Palladium-finish twist-lock hardware and double handles, tied together with rich brown Cuoio Romano leather, add luxe finishing touches to this $1,800 sustainable statement piece.

Jacquemus transforms the humble brown paper bag silhouette into a chic, all-leather grab-and-go accessory.

Crafted from faux-python leather, the clutch rolls open to reveal a spacious, cotton-lined interior with a patch pocket. Measuring approximately 10.6 x 6.3 inches, with a generous 13.8-inch opening, the La Pochette Rond Carré is secured with a magnetic closure.
