Gap’s First Handbag Collection Is Here — These Are the 5 Shapes to Know

Gap’s first dedicated handbag collection arrived September 8 under Reed Krakoff, the three-time CFDA Accessories Designer of the Year now serving as Gap Inc.’s Executive Director of Accessories. The core range runs from $29.95 to $148, with one limited patchwork-denim style at $498.

1. Five-Pocket Tote: best overall

This is the clearest expression of the idea. Denim belt loops, jean stitching and metal shanks translate Gap’s strongest category into a bag without feeling like novelty merch. Sizes and fabrications range from denim to canvas and faux suede, generally $79.95 to $148.

2. Hoodie Tote: best casual option

The Hoodie Tote uses fleece, ribbing and a drawstring closure with neoprene lining. Prices start at $29.95, making it the lowest-risk entry point.

3. Favorite Tote: best simple everyday carry

Canvas, several sizes and prices around $59.95 to $69.95 make this the least trend-dependent family.

4. Crescent Bag: best shoulder shape

The crescent comes in denim and faux-suede versions from $69.95 to $99.95. Choose this if you want the collection’s materials without carrying a literal denim tote.

5. Shoulder Bag: best oversized option

The largest statement carryall runs $89.95 to $128 and works best for commuters or shoppers who genuinely use a big bag.

Which one should you actually buy?

The Five-Pocket Tote is the editorial winner because it has the clearest identity and is the style most likely to remain recognizable as the first GapBag. The Favorite Tote is the smarter buy if you care more about cost-per-wear than collectibility.
