If you’ve seen the term “onion bag” on social media and wondered, “What on earth is that?”—you’re not alone!
No, it’s not a purse shaped like an onion (though that would be pretty chic, right?). The onion bag trend is taking over fashion in 2025, blending oversized bags with a layered, dimensional style that’s perfect for embracing maximalist fashion this winter.
Say goodbye to tiny bags! The oversized bag is back in a big way, and the onion bag trend is leading the charge. It’s the hottest way to elevate your everyday tote, satchel, or carry-all—and it’s got the stylist stamp of approval!
Corina Molina, aka @cocotakes (creator of the viral purse bowl), is a huge fan of the onion bag moment.
“The best part about the onion bag is that it’s totally customizable—it’s all about what works for you and your style,” she explains. “Start with a chic, high-quality bag that’s big enough for all your seasonal essentials. Think about what you’ll need on the go.”
“The key is layering in your favorite items that reflect your personal style, so you’re ready for whatever comes your way,” she adds, mentioning how she loves to toss in travel-size beauty products like a bold lip, mini fragrances, and hair clips “for quick touch-ups.”
