Laxus Technologies Inc. (Headquarters: Naka-ku, Hiroshima; CEO: Keisuke Takahashi), provider of the luxury brand bag sharing service 'Laxus,' has analyzed bag usage trends during seasonal changes based on data from users in their 20s to 40s. The analysis revealed a significant shift toward bags emphasizing 'lightness,' 'size variation,' and 'style renewal' from spring to early summer. In response, the company has released its Top 3 Bag Ranking representing 2026 trends.
### 2026: The Year of 'Smart Choices' and 'Bold Changes' Amid rising prices and established sustainable awareness, bag sharing has become a standard way to enjoy the latest trends only when needed. Particularly during this period of unstable temperatures, the 'Bag Switch'—the habit of flexibly changing bags to match one's outfit—has become common among users.
### Popular Bag TOP 3 (As of May 2026)
1. **CELINE: Medium Victoire Bag** Combining a classic silhouette with modern practicality, this model is favored for its versatility from work to weekends. It embodies the 'Quiet Luxury' trend, offering a sophisticated presence without overly emphasizing logos.
2. **Miu Miu: Ivy Leather Bag** Characterized by its vertical, flat form, this 'statement bag' is valued for its role in balancing outfits during the ongoing reinterpretation of Y2K and preppy styles. It offers ample storage while maintaining a sleek silhouette.
3. **LOEWE: Puzzle Fold Cropped Tote** Featuring architectural beauty and foldable functionality, this tote is highly supported for its 'lightness' and 'refined practicality.' It pairs naturally with relaxed spring-to-summer attire such as linen shirts.
### A New Standard: 'Switching' over 'Buying' The study shows that 2026 trends revolve around three pillars: 'Classic Return,' 'Style-Changing Bags,' and 'Lightweight/Functional Design.' Bags are evolving from items to be 'bought and kept' to items to be 'switched by occasion,' with sharing services making this lifestyle more accessible.
