Did Emily Ratajkowski just predict every spring bag trend? Well, sort of.

What is for certain? The supermodel's ability to take major metal notes as accessories of this nature walk past her on the runway—and it's totally paying off. Case in point: Her recent romps around Paris Fashion Week holding the hottest, most-coveted handbags trends of the upcoming season.

Playful Purses

Bags made of non-traditional textiles are going to be all the rage this spring (according to EmRata's yellow Valentino), and we're all about it. Let your clothes take a back seat to the ruffles, faux fur, denim, etc. that make up your newest accessory! Fall was for muted neutrals, but as the sun starts to shine so should your arm candy.

Hard to Handle

As seen most predominantly on the Chloé runway, out-of-the-box handles are a big yes for spring. Emily's holding her Tory Burch bag by a short, cool chain, but when it comes to alternatives, the possibilities are endless! Think: metal bars, hoops, bamboo, rope, nylon and more! No material is off limits.

Get in Shape

You own satchels, totes and crossbodies, but what about buckets, box bags (like the pink one Emily's toting) and just about any other, unorthodox silhouettes? Unusually structured handbags are the third spring trend to be on the look out for. No matter what, holding one will instantly give your outfit a more playful vibe, so keep that in mind when selecting the rest of your ensemble.

It's a Cinch

Cinched handbags were all over the runways at fashion month (Marc Jacobs, Givenchy, Alexander Wang, the list goes on), and then Emily stepped out holding one only a couple nights ago. Swap them for the average handbag, but where them just the same way knowing you're up with the latest of spring bag trends!
