ALO expands its Bag Collection for Fall 2026 with new silhouettes, sizes, materials and its first range of small leather goods. Steven Meisel returns to photograph the campaign, bringing back Amelia Gray, Candice Swanepoel and Daiane Sodré while introducing Ming Xi and Natasha Poly to the project. The second chapter builds on the brand’s inaugural handbag launch with designs created for daily use, travel and active routines.
BAGS
The season introduces the Unwind Cinch, a softly structured bag offered in Medium and Mini sizes. Its sculptural proportions support a functional design intended for everyday use. ALO also brings Leather Mesh into the collection, applying the material to the Mini Unwind Bag, Shoulder Voyage and returning Tranquility Tote.
ALO developed Leather Mesh from the athletic mesh that appears throughout its clothing line. A laser-cut pattern gives the leather an open texture and dimensional surface. The brand combines high-technology production methods with Italian handwork to translate a familiar sportswear material into leather.
The Leather Mesh Shoulder Voyage adapts ALO’s Voyage bag into a smaller shoulder silhouette designed for daily wear. Alongside the Mini Unwind Bag and Tranquility Tote, it introduces a different texture to three established bag formats.
Abby Gordon, ALO’s Chief Design & Merchandising Officer, described the material as an extension of the brand’s connection between sport and luxury. The design team took inspiration from mesh and translated its visual qualities into leather, creating a material that carries the energy associated with performance into a refined accessories format.
ALO designs the Fall 2026 collection in Los Angeles and produces the bags in Florence, Italy. Each piece uses responsibly sourced Italian leather, hand-painted edges and custom-forged hardware.
The collection also continues ALO’s use of Intention Crystals, with every handbag accompanied by a hand-selected stone. Fall 2026 introduces Yellow Tiger’s Eye, associated with confidence, courage and personal strength, alongside Smoky Quartz, which represents grounding and protection. The crystals connect the accessories category to ALO’s wider focus on wellness.
ALO frames the collection around its interpretation of the elevated gym bag, with silhouettes designed for routines that can include practice, work, travel, evenings and weekends away.
For the campaign, Meisel continues the visual direction established with ALO’s first Bag Collection. Summer Nacewicz, ALO’s Executive Vice President of Marketing & Creative, said the team wanted to develop the imagery through additional faces, unexpected props and a stronger sense of energy.
