From zebra to leopard and beyond, pony (or calf) hair bags are making major headway in the fashion industry and proving themselves to be the ‘it’ accessory of the moment. Bold, expressive, and instantaneously playful, these statement-making bags have made their way from the Fall/Winter 2024 runways to cool girl street style in New York, London, Milan, and beyond. The opposite of a neutral, these flirty purses bring a punch of vibrance and a unique elevation to every look.
When it comes to pony hair – we saw it taking many forms by coveted designers like ALAÏA, Saint Laurent, Michael Kors, Toteme, and more in pieces like elegant trench coats, skirts, and even feminine shoes. But the standout and most-seen has been the bags. Arriving in all shapes, sizes, and patterns, these coveted accessories are adding an air of luxury to the daring wearer. Dress them up or down.

Or, opt for a tailored, monochromatic look with an oversized coat and coordinating sweater and trousers to match making the pony hair purse the main event. Here’s a few of our favorites right now.
