Zebra-Print Handbags Are Dominating Fall Trends

Yes, fall is animal print season, and while that truth remains annually, there is one pattern popping up in droves for fall fashion 2026: zebra-striped accessories. 

Black and white stripes have shown up all over fashion week, and while runways indicate how we’ll be dressing come spring, the star-studded front rows and bustling street style show us what to wear now.

For that, let’s just say, zebra stripes are aplenty at the moment (don’t worry, we still love you, cheetah print!) and celebrities have officially co-signed the trend—don’t miss Kendall Jenner‘s viral handbag, now $100 off, ahead. 

Animal print of all kinds has been a sartorial mainstay for decades, first popping up in Old Hollywood glamor before resurging in the ’80s and ’90s. Stars have long embraced the look, which has long been associated with luxury and glamor, through statement coats, belts, shoes, and, mainly, handbags. 

Need to see modern day proof from the stars? Easy. Last fall, Jennifer Lawrence carried a zebra-print Fendi backpack. Dua Lipa was spotted several times with her Jacquemus Le Rond shoulder bag. Furthermore, Kendall Jenner has sported the ever-popular Tommy bags from Staud in beaded zebra stripes (which is now discounted by $100, below) all strongly indicating that this fall’s trending handbags will follow suit.

Star style can be pricey but this particular trend does not require shelling out serious dough. In fact, we rounded up the best expensive-looking zebra handbags under $150 from trusted brands like Staud, Kate Spade, Guess, and more. 

As the festive holiday season draws near, we already know that these fun striped bags are about to be everywhere.
