9 Designer It Bags That Are Getting All the Celebrity Love
If you want to know what the current It bags are without doing a ton of recon, the easiest way to figure it out is to take a look at the bags celebrities are carrying—which I can help with. Celebrities can basically wear whatever they want, so it's telling to see which bags they choose to carry for their off-duty time. Sure, some celebrities are brand ambassadors, but it's still interesting to see the bags they choose from the brands that they represent.
As someone who is obsessed with It bags and thinks about them a lot, I've been keeping tabs on all of the current ones being carried by the likes of Kendall Jenner, Jennifer Lawrence, Emily Ratajkowski, and Taylor Swift, among others. Scroll on to see who's wearing the most sought-after Bottega Veneta, Saint Laurent, Loewe, and Miu Miu beauties and shop the reigning It bags for yourself.
Bottega Veneta Gemelli Bag
Bottega Veneta's Gemelli bag features a crescent-shaped pouch that's detached from the rest of the bag. It's perfect for everyday wear, as it can be dressed up or down. Add it to the list of logoless woven Bottega Veneta It bags.
On Kendall Jenner: Bottega Veneta jacket, skirt, and Gemelli Bag ($4100)

Gucci Horsebit Chain Shoulder Bag

Loewe Squeeze Bag
Loewe's slouchy Squeeze bag was impossible to find for months. Presently, its popularity hasn't waned, but it's much easier to find now. Fans of the bag sing praises for its buttery leather and elegant chain strap.
On Emily Ratajkowski: Loewe coat and Squeeze Bag ($3950); Celine boots

Miu Miu Arcadie Bag
It makes sense that Gigi Hadid would carry a Miu Miu bag, as she's the current face of the brand, but the one she reaches for more often than not is the Arcadie bag. The chic top-handle logo bag is perfect for every occasion.

The Row Margaux Bag
The Row's newest minimal It bag is a polished take on a bowling-bag silhouette. Consider it one of those discreet IYKYK bags. If you're lucky enough to find it in stock, it probably won't be for long.

and Chelsea Boots ($578); The Row Margaux 10 Bag ($4290)

Bottega Veneta Andiamo Bag
Bottega Veneta's Andiamo bag quickly became wildly popular, and because of this, it's now available in various shapes, sizes, and colors. Even the smallest size holds plenty, and the bag can be carried in multiple ways, making it an excellent investment.
On Sofia Richie Grainge: Khaite Mae Cotton T-Shirt ($280); Levi's 501 Jeans ($98); Bottega Veneta Andiamo Medium Intrecciato Leather Tote ($4900)

Saint Laurent Le 5 à 7 Shoulder Bag
The slouchy tote is a newer iteration of the brand's original Le 5 à 7 shoulder bag, which became an instant sensation when it made its debut in 2021. Even Taylor Swift, who rarely wears designer logo bags, has been carrying the larger, sloucher bag. Other celeb fans include Hailey Bieber and Laura Harrier.
On Taylor Swift: Stella McCartney coat and Ribbed Recycled Cashmere and Wool-Blend Sweater ($596); Saint Laurent Le 5 à 7 Supple Shoulder Bag ($2650); Gucci boots

For much of 2023, Jennifer Lawrence's go-to bag was Loewe's Puzzle Fold Tote. The simple yet special tote is the ultimate throw-it-all-in-and-go It bag.
