Womens Handbags FAQs

What styles of women’s bags does Chico’s make?

From practical totes to elegant clutches, our assortment of women's bags has something for every mood, moment, and outfit. We also carry crossover bags, belt bags, and top-handle bags.

Whether you're looking for a classic piece that will never go out of style or a statement accessory to add some excitement to your favorite outfits, you'll find plenty of options in our bag collection.

All bags are available in different colors, patterns, and designs, so it’s easy to make a statement or keep it simple. 

What bag style is the most versatile?

While some bags are specifically designed to make a fashion statement, others are crafted to be functional and versatile accessories for daily use. This includes:

Crossbody bags. Our women’s crossbody bags have adjustable straps, so you can let them hang at the perfect height. Some of them are removable, too, allowing you to transform your practical crossover bag into a stylish clutch for the evening. 

Tote bags. Totes are versatile enough for daily errands and leisure walks at the Farmer’s Market. These oversized bags are the perfect companion to daytime ensembles: team them with denim jeans and graphic tees. 

Remember that which bag style is best for you depends on your priorities and lifestyle. For instance, you’ll want a bag with easy-access pockets on the outside and secure zipper fastenings while traveling. If you’re a student, a large, spacious bag with multiple compartments and a laptop sleeve may be more your vibe. 

What materials do Chico’s women’s handbags come in?

Our handbags for women come in a variety of materials, which can vary depending on the season. Many of our belt bags are made with our Neema fabric. Neema is a lightweight stretchy material with 50+ Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) properties to block both UVA and UVB rays.

Other materials such as nylon, suede, tweed, and more may be found in our seasonal collections. You’ll also find that may of our bags feature embellishments such as chains and beautifully crafted metal hardware.

What handbags are trending right now?

Our women's bags collection takes cues from what's hot on the runway. We combine that with our unique style to create easygoing and elegant designs for daily or formal use.  One of our most popular women’s handbag styles is the belt bag, which features an adjustable strap, so they can also be worn as crossbody bags. A few popular handbags for women that we’ve recently carried include oversized tote bags, woven bags, and statement clutches. 

Like jewelry, there are also various timeless pieces that will never go out of style despite fluctuating trends. For example, bucket bags and top-handle handbags.

How can you style different types of women’s handbags?

There are several ways to style women's bags, but how you style a specific accessory depends on your personal aesthetic and the occasion. 

Going to work and then hitting the town with friends? Instantly elevate an outfit from everyday to extra special with a versatile crossbody that turns into a clutch, business casual trousers, and a blouse. Pair with a matching jacket to complete the look.

Heading to work? Opt for a spacious handle bag, tailored trousers or a skirt, and a blazer for a chic office look. Clutches are must-have handbags for anyone who frequents upscale events or likes to go out while maintaining a sleek look that doesn’t distract from the outfit.
