10 Best Multi-Pocket Bags From Designer Brands
1. Miu Miu
First introduced in Spring/Summer 2023, Miu Miu's multi-pocket leather bag quickly became a cult favorite among trendsetters like Hailey Bieber.

Made from soft nappa leather, this arm candy features five exterior slip pockets attached around its perimeter. As of writing, the bag comes in three colorways: black, white, and the crowd-favorite sand/coffee variation.

If you're more into the biker aesthetic, you'll definitely love Versace's version of the multi-pocket bag.

Freshly debuted from the house's Spring/Summer 2025 collection, the Chanel 25 is a refined take on the hobo silhouette, featuring structured side panels and a shoulder-length strap.
