Our Favorite Stylish Bags That Won’t Break The Bank

Find a bag that won't bust your budget.

Our Favorite Stylish Bags That Won’t Break The Bank

Is it just me or has the price of purses got a little out of control lately? With ladylike It bags from The Row and Bottega Venetta costing upwards of five thousand dollars, I think it’s time to get back to reality. Time to treat yourself to beautiful, stylish bags that won’t bust your budget for the year. 

If you’re following fashion at all, you know that The Row is everywhere. Their Park tote has been elevated in the fashion hall of fame, but you can totally get the look for less. After all, bucket bags have always been around! It’s just about finding the right size an the right amount of slouch. Banana Republic’s Vida bag in saddle brown, J.Crew’s Berkeley bag in black leather, or Aallyn’s bucket bag in a purple-y greige are all gorgeous examples. Plus, they all come in under $300!

Demellier’s bags have an undeniably luxurious feel to them, especially considering they ring in under $750. Their New York tote, in a black textured leather, is a bag that combines power lunch with ladies who lunch. I love the gold hardware and the winged silhouette! The mini-size of the New York is a gorgeous little number for date nights out.

Structured ladylike bags are making a serious comeback, and this is a style that I actually needed to refresh. I love the Lily and Bean bag in a classic camel with gold hardware. Look at the prim little way it buckles at the top! Look at the pretty little top handle! It comes in a smaller size, too! No matter what size you get, don’t forget to add a gold-painted monogram in the corner.

Sometimes, you just need a little crossbody. This artsy, modern COS bag with a beautiful silver buckle, this camel Veronica Beard bag in a crescent shape, and Demellier’s croc-effect purse make hands-free look really good.
