Without a doubt, the past few seasons have been turning around suedebut if the fall/winter 2026 runways are a harbinger, tactility is about to become the material trend. From luxurious leathers and layered sequins to ultra-soft feathers and even fiberglass: materiality is the new luxury in the digital age.
This is the bag trend of 2026
Enter: calf hair. Not necessarily new, but calf hair (also pony hair called) is the perfect middle ground between the outspoken materials on the catwalk and everyday wearability. It’s a subtle way to play with texture – and even better, it’s showing up more and more in jackets, shoes and, you guessed it, handbags.

Animal print
Animal print is an obvious category within the calf hair trend. Calf and pony hair are often dyed to imitate animal skins, and what’s more, the broader animal print trend doesn’t seem to be going anywhere anytime soon. We love it – especially when it comes back on a pony hair bag.

Bambiprint
Technically also an animal print, but bambi or deer print is quickly gaining ground, especially for those who want to be ahead of the trend. As a calmer alternative to bold leopard or zebra prints fawn chic and subtle – more of a wink than a statement.
