The new year is on the horizon, and with it comes a selection of luxurious accessories that set the tone for 2026. Between Hermès’ quiet refinements, Chanel’s revived icons, and Dior’s fresh bow-driven direction, there’s no shortage of standout pieces. These nine bags and shoes are already topping our wishlist for the year ahead.

Chanel – Executive Tote

Matthieu Blazy kicked off his Chanel era by bringing the early-2000s Executive Tote back to life. Showcased on the runway in a vibrant mint-green faux crocodile, the silhouette echoes the east-west variation of the original and features a contrasting burgundy lining. It retains the front slip pocket secured by a CC turnlock, while the handles appear longer than on the original Executive Tote, allowing for effortless shoulder styling. With Chanel’s penchant for seasonal creativity, we hope to see this tote in soft pastels, classic neutrals, or other  faux-exotic textures in the months ahead. Sleek and sophisticated, it’s a fresh take on a Chanel classic.

Hermès - Chaine d’Ancre Mary Janes

Step aside, ordinary flats—arriving with Hermès’ Spring–Summer 2026 lineup are the Chaine d’Ancre Mary Janes, a chic Hermès-coded update on a classic silhouette. Laser-cut from leather in an all-over Chaine d’Ancre motif, these Mary Janes are equal parts graphic, bold, and chic. Presented in sleek black and timeless gold at the Presentations, they’re the kind of statement shoes that make every outfit feel instantly elevated.

Dior - Bow Bag

Jonathan Anderson made a stylish entrance to Dior with the Bow Bag, showcased on the Spring–Summer 2026 runway. Envelope-like in silhouette, the bag is secured with a delicate knot detail accented in gold, while the flap tucks inside the bag to protect its contents. It’s the details that make Jonathan Anderson’s Dior shine: the interior showcases the Dior logo, with the ‘O’ cleverly formed by gold-tone hardware-adorned eyelets. The bag features a single top handle attached to the back, balancing the weight of the front design when carried, along with a detachable shoulder strap for versatility. Presented in smooth leathers in classic shades like black, tan, burgundy and baby blue, other editions include glossy rich tan croc and a Himalayan. Sleek yet playful, the Bow Bag is one of the most anticipated accessories of 2026.

Hermès - So Kelly

Jean-Paul Gaultier’s 2008 So Kelly is back with a bang. Reimagined from the iconic Kelly into a relaxed, slouchy silhouette, it first captured hearts for its effortless, chic attitude. On the Spring–Summer 2026 runway, the bag returned with a seamless leather shoulder strap replacing the original D-rings. Showcased in vibrant violet, bold poppy red, and classic black, the So Kelly is still offered in its classic 22 and 26 sizes—but what has us most excited is the new mini. Perfectly scaled to carry just the essentials, the mini retains the bag’s relaxed vibe, while offering a fresh, covetable option for 2026.

Hermès – Kelly Flip Flops

Continuing the Kelly theme, these minimalist flip-flops from Hermès’ Spring–Summer 2026 lineup, are a dream for minimalist lovers. Not your average flip-flop, their elevated design features an additional delicate strap across the foot, adorned and secured with the iconic Kelly buckle fastening. Sleek, understated, and effortlessly chic, they were presented in black Box calfskin leather with palladium hardware—here’s hoping Hermès will add more colorways and hardware options to complement our favorite  bags.

Chanel - Shoulder Flap Bag

Not everything expected in 2026 made a runway debut. The Shoulder  Bag, showcased off-stage by Jennie of BLACKPINK and Lily-Rose Depp, offers a sleek, modern take on the iconic flap-bag silhouette. Sized in what appears to be between a rectangular Mini Classic Flap and a Small size, the bag forgoes quilting in favor of caviar leather. The traditional CC turnlock is replaced with a press-stud fastening adorned with interlocking CCs, while the signature chain straps are swapped for  long double top handles that extend from the body of the bag. Spotted in pastel yellow on Jennie and muted light grey on Lily-Rose, this pared-back yet sophisticated design opens up a new world of Chanel.

Dior - Slingbacks

Bows neatly wrap up the rest of Jonathan Anderson’s women’s Dior Spring–Summer 2026 accessories lineup. The Slingback Open-Toe Bow Heels feature a sculptural D-shaped toe box and a delicate bow at the front, subtly adorned with the Dior logo in the French Cochin typeface—a nod to Christian Dior’s 1946 debut. Hitting the runway in vibrant floral prints as well as classic solids in black, red, and lilac, the slingbacks balance Anderson’s penchant for quirky design details with timeless Dior elegance.

Hermès - Kelly Clutch

Hermès is set to expand its extensive clutch lineup in 2026 with the introduction of the effortlessly chic Kelly Clutch, presented off-runway at the Hermès ReSee. Crafted from smooth Box calfskin, the clean silhouette is elevated with a wraparound belt detail secured by the iconic Kelly buckle, offering a subtle yet unmistakably Hermès finishing touch. Presented in classic Black and deep Rouge H, this clutch is paired with gold or palladium hardware.

Chanel - Super Model Tote

Last but by no means least, Matthieu Blazy revisits Chanel’s early-to-mid-1990s archives with the reimagined Supermodel Tote. Crafted in black caviar leather, the oversized silhouette retains the generous proportions of the original, complete with a leather tab and CC turnlock closure. Streamlined for contemporary wear, the quilted detailing has been removed and the chain-and-leather shoulder straps replaced with all-leather straps. Finished with a zip-top fastening and metal feet, this tote is an elevated Chanel icon for the modern-on-go individual.
