Among the trends for 2023, crescent-shaped bags have been the biggest hit. Discover the best-selling styles here.
The fashion world is constantly evolving, and every year it surprises us with new trends and styles that become objects of desire for many women. Among the trends of 2023, crescent-shaped handbags have been the most successful, thanks to a triumphant return to the runways. These accessories, with their distinctive and recognizable design, have become a must-have for every contemporary fashionista.
Crescent-shaped handbags, known for their unique shape reminiscent of a crescent moon, made a big comeback in 2023, proving once again their timeless elegance. This distinctive shape not only makes them visually appealing but also offers ample interior space, ideal for those who need to carry many items throughout the day.
Among the most popular styles in 2023 are crescent-shaped crossbody bags: this version combines the convenience of a crossbody strap with the elegance of the crescent shape, making it perfect for both formal occasions and everyday outings.
Thanks to the shoulder strap, your hands remain free—a detail that many women appreciate, especially in situations where you need to move quickly or keep your hands free, such as while shopping, at a gala, or—why not?—while traveling.
Crescent-shaped bags are made from a variety of materials, including leather, fabric, faux leather, and nylon. Leather models are the most classic and refined, while fabric and faux leather models are more versatile and suited to a casual look. Many brands offer dedicated collections and pieces with unique details, such as exposed stitching, studs, and floral embellishments that add a touch of class and personality to the accessory. A prime example is the Campomaggi Half-Moon Shopper, an elegant leather bag featuring double handles, a removable shoulder strap, and refined hand-applied details that showcase the masterful craftsmanship of Made in Italy.
Furthermore, they are available in a wide range of colors, from classic black and brown to brighter, trendier shades, featuring original prints and patterns.
Half-Moon Bags: An Iconic and Versatile Design Since the 1990s
Crescent-shaped bags first became popular in the 1990s, but like all great trends, they’ve made a triumphant comeback, becoming the perfect accessory for any outfit this season as well. The versatility of women’s crescent-shaped bags makes them the ideal accessory for every woman. Whether large or small, these bags pair perfectly with any look, adding a touch of class and sophistication.
For those who need more space, large crescent-shaped bags are the ideal choice. In addition to their classic crescent shape, these bags offer more interior space—perfect for those who need to carry a lot of items or love to travel. Despite their size, these bags don’t compromise on style or sophistication.
Trendy Styles for 2023
Among the most famous brands that have embraced the crescent-shaped bag trend, Borbonese stands out for its ability to combine tradition and innovation. The crescent-shaped bags at Borbonese have become a must-have for anyone looking for a luxury accessory that never goes out of style.

Also from the Borbonese brand, we can’t fail to mention the famous Luna bag Borbonese, crafted from OP suede-like synthetic leather in neutral tones that pairs easily with any look, from the most casual to the most elegant.
If you can’t resist larger styles, check out the large Geo Soft half-moon bag by Alviero Martini, featuring a soft, supple design and crafted from refined fabric printed with a map motif—perfect for pairing with urban and chic looks.
Among the small styles, you’ll find the original Bric’s half-moon crossbody bag from the Andy Warhol Collection—practical and versatile, perfect for wearing crossbody or over the shoulder during shopping trips or leisure time, but also stylish enough for the office.
If you’re a fan of minimalist accessories, you can opt for the “Furla” shoulder bag, featuring a half-moon silhouette crafted from smooth leather: compact and well-organized, this style is easy to pair and ideal for an office or evening outfit.
How to Style Half-Moon Bags
Half-moon bags go with any look, from casual to formal. For a casual look, you can wear a fabric or faux leather half-moon bag with jeans and a T-shirt, completing the outfit with low-heeled ankle boots for a relaxed yet stylish daytime look.
For a professional look, we suggest a leather half-moon bag, paired with a suit or a sheath dress and heels. For your evening look, on the other hand, you can choose a crescent-shaped bag with sparkly details to pair with a short dress or a jumpsuit, finishing the look with high heels and sparkling jewelry.
The crescent-shaped bag is a true all-rounder in the world of accessories. Thanks to its versatile shape and the variety of styles available, it lends itself to countless combinations, adapting to any style and occasion. That’s why it’s a must-have in every woman’s wardrobe. They’re perfect for any occasion and suit any style.
