Halloween dressing needn’t begin and end with your costume. Whether you’re planning a full-throttle fancy dress look or simply using October 31 as an excuse to embrace your darker side, the right accessories can do much of the heavy lifting.
Enter the Halloween handbag: a suitably spooky finishing touch that earns its place in your wardrobe long after the pumpkins have been packed away.
Think gothic glamour courtesy of Dior, statement-making silhouettes from Fendi and high-street finds from Topshop that won’t require a séance with your bank account.
From blood-red hues and spooky silhouettes to playful motifs and embellishments with a distinctly witching-hour feel, there’s a bag to suit every level of Halloween commitment.
Of course, the beauty of a themed accessory is that it needn’t be a one-night affair. A sculptural black clutch can work just as well with eveningwear in December, while a novelty design makes for an excellent conversation starter at any time of year. Those favouring a subtler approach can opt for texture, hardware or an unexpected pop of colour instead.
Whether you’re heading to a costume party or simply want to inject a little mischief into your autumn wardrobe, we’ve rounded up the best Halloween bags to shop now, from designer investments to affordable high-street treats.
