If you’ve ever seen the term “onion bag” on social media and wondered, “What the hell is that?”, you’re not alone.
No, not an onion-shaped wallet (that’s pretty chic, right?). The onion bag trend is taking over 2025 fashion, combining oversized bags with layered, structured styles, perfect for embracing maximalist fashion this winter.
Say goodbye to small bags! Oversized bags are back in a big way, with the onion bag trend leading the way. It’s the hottest way to elevate your everyday totes, bags and carryalls, and a stylist-approved choice.
Corina Molina, aka @cocotakes (creator of the viral Purse Bowl), is a big fan of Onion Bag Moments.
“The best thing about the Onion bag is that it’s completely customizable; everything is tailored to you and your style,” she explains. “Start with a chic, high-quality bag that’s large enough to hold all your seasonal essentials. Think about what you’ll need on the go.”
“The key is layering your favorite pieces that reflect your style, so you’re ready for whatever comes your way,” she adds, noting that she loves incorporating travel-sized beauty products like bold lips, mini fragrances, and hair clips for “quick fixes.”
