Without the residuals from a worldwide stadium tour or a TV deal, how often can you say you have the same bag as Taylor Swift or Kendall Jenner? We’ll tell you: Anytime you’re carrying clutches and totes from affordable bag brands like Aupen, By Far, and Mansur Gavriel. The very best ones deviate from dupe culture, which often features unoriginal designs made with lower-quality materials. Truly excellent budget-friendly brands tout styles with the same level of craftsmanship and luxe materials (like rich Italian leather and velvety suede) as designer handbags, and put forward their twist on beloved silhouettes like crossbody bags, shoulder bags, slouchy bags, and tote bags. Many times, they have the very same qualities that draw us toward labels with eye-watering prices, such as their use of sustainable materials and celebrity stamps of approval.
Besides bragging rights, there are even more reasons to shop from one of the best affordable designer handbag brands, like the fact that our carryalls are strapped to our sides 24/7 and, as a result, take a lot of abuse, according to author and fashion stylist Heather Newberger. “While I can live with the idea that someone may accidentally spill a drink on my everyday bag, I can’t really get behind my designer bag being destroyed by something as nonchalant as nail polish being knocked over at the salon,” she adds. If your beach bag plans on touching sand, your bag for work has a sticky subway commute, or your overnight bag is subject to the inside of the overhead bin, a designer pick may not be the most practical choice.
Then, you have to think about what affordable means to you. Is a $40 bag actually “affordable” when it inevitably breaks in a month? As NYC-based fashion stylist Audree Kate López explains, “If the bag is $200 and you wear it three times per week for a year, it’s less than a dollar per wear,” as opposed to a cheaper bag that falls apart after one wedding reception.
Contemporary designer bag brands are everywhere, if you know where to look: New labels seemingly emerge out of thin air on a daily basis, and classic heritage brands unleash iterations of cherished styles quarterly. Suffice to say, we have plenty of affordable bag brands to choose from. To narrow down the list, we created this guide with expert tips and product picks to find the best, most high-quality affordable purse brands for anyone’s needs.

When Coach launched its original saddlebag decades ago, who knew that the brand would continue to stay fresh and relevant among choosy Gen Z consumers and its more seasoned clients with some of its original silhouettes? Of course, the mid-range designer bag brand is a pro at capturing the current zeitgeist, as it releases iterations of its classic silhouettes with trend-centered additions such as metallic shades, pillowy silhouettes, and heavy hardware. Notably, we’re keeping our eye on the flashy re-brands of the enduring Tabby Bag, which have earned 2.6 million views on TikTok.
In its latest strategy to capture the heart of the eco-conscious younger generations, Coach launched Coachtopia in 2024. The subbrand upcycles leather scraps left on the cutting room floor and uses other recycled materials to re-design handbags in a range of silhouettes and styles.
Still, everything from its dreamy Y2K-adjacent fluffy Mira shoulder bag to its timeless saddle bag maintains a high level of quality and craft that gives them life generations over, and all for as low as $150.

The key to elevating a basic outfit while maintaining its nonchalant spirit is with the right bag — that’s one rule we’ve clocked from purveyors of street style like Kendall Jenner, Alexa Chung, and Gigi Hadid. For years now, the Los Angeles-based affordable purse brand Staud has been an off-duty accessory label of choice for celebs. Jenner has tucked the Tommy Beaded Bag under her T-shirt-clad shoulders on several occasions, and we’ve spotted Hailey Bieber carrying the Moon Bag in tow alongside her white trainers and hoodie.
And, considering co-founders Sarah Staudinger and George Augusto built the brand with a mission to create high-quality bags whose styles match timeless classics for trend, it’s clear why the bags are ubiquitous among cool girls everywhere. While many designs embody quintessential silhouettes such as a rectangle-shaped tote or structured crossbody, each one breaks tradition in some form, whether it’s by spelling out novelty sayings in dazzling crystal beads or showcasing flashy animal print shades.

What experts say: “If you’re looking for an affordable bag that screams luxury, I would strongly suggest choosing something in a unique shape or constructed using distinctive materials such as embossed leather, like this one. Both of these things will elevate your bag in a way that will have people wondering just how much you spent on it,” says Newberger.

Though Scandinavian brand Ganni is over two decades old, leave it to internet darlings like Emma Chamberlain and a strong social media presence, (#GanniGirls, anyone?), to keep its mainstay among the fashion community. As illustrated by the brand’s use of oversized collars and playful proportions, it will not be denied from having fun, and similar to its apparel, its handbags don’t take themselves too seriously, either.
We suddenly feel like we’re back in math class while holding Ganni’s delightful collection of hexagonal and square-shaped bags — each becomes more exciting when you delve inside to reveal leopard print lining or equally thrilling design detail. And who wouldn’t smile while swinging the extended knotted handle of the Raffia Bag from their hand? Make no mistake, despite their quirky appeal, these bags boast the same high-quality and eco-conscious materials as Ganni’s clothing. As a bonus, most of the bags are made from recycled leather.
Materials: Recycled leather
Closure: Magnet
Features: Double compartments, interior flat card pocket, adjustable and removable shoulder strap

Less than a decade old, this French family-owned brand captured the hearts and wallets of your most stylish friends, fashion influencers, and the TikTok community. Polène bags even (fittingly, we might add) played a recurring role in the series “Emily in Paris” — we’re still lusting after the Yké in Epuisé that swung off Lily Collins’ wrist in the series. You can add the royal seal of approval to this brand’s resume, too, as we clocked Kate Middleton carrying the Numèro Sept Mini Handbag during a recent press junket.
We’re not surprised that Polène is popular among princesses and celebrities alike, considering all of the brand’s bags are made with rich Spanish and Italian leather crafted in Ubrique, Spain, a village famous for its leather goods. Additionally, each design touts curved edges, waves, and folds which lends them a touchable and artistic appeal fit for the boardroom or the ballet.
Its designs keep functionality in mind too, as many of the shoulder bags feature adjustable straps so you can wear them under your arm or as a crossbody. Between their durability (take a look at this TikTok that literally tears one apart to show its impeccable craftsmanship), universal silhouettes, and rich neutral tones, you can count on these bags as enduring wardrobe staples.
Materials: Rattan, Italian leather

Can you think of a better way for a brand to get on the map than Taylor Swift sporting one of its styles? That’s the case with Aupen. Olivia Rodrigo, Gabrielle Union, Jennifer Lawerence, and Selena Gomez, also count themselves fans of this ethical handbag brand. And no shade to Swift or these other superstars, but even without these celebrity style sightings, we’re confident the brand would continue to experience its dramatic skyrocket to fame.
At merely a year old, the brand’s sudden popularity is undoubtedly thanks to Singapore designer Skye Tan’s detailed eye and his skillfulness at taking a tired silhouette and giving it a new life with sharp, asymmetrical silhouettes and dripping embellishments. Frankly, the handbags are unquestionably sexy, as evidenced by the Swift-worn Nirvana bag’s curvaceous silhouette and how Selena Gomez offered endless appeal carrying the sultry Purpose Ice in hand.
Despite the most expensive option still costing less than a Dior wallet, its premium materials are designed in Brooklyn and Singapore, feel and look stunningly luxurious, and boast impeccable craftsmanship. And, to appease the eco-conscious consumer, its manufacturing practices are certified by the well-credited environmental organizations Amfori, Control Union, and Global Recycled Standard.
Materials: Vegan leather
Closure: Zipper
Features: Braided strap
$340
What experts say: “I love the simplicity of this purse, but it’s more fashion-forward than a traditional bag with the asymmetrical body and braided strap, which is durable and trendy. The removable Aupen metal keychain showcases the brand in a subtle, not logo-mania way which I love because it can be worn over and over again and you don’t feel like you’re a walking billboard,” says López.
Materials: Vegan Leather
Closure: Zipper
Features: Adjustable strap

Far from mundane, (have you seen the 3D Showdog Fringed Bag?) Kate Spade’s tomato-shaped purses and taxi cab yellow micro clutches are the ray of sunshine breaking up our collection of neutral-toned work totes and practical crossbody bags. While its arsenal of eccentric designs never falls short, we’d be remiss not to pay respect to its line of classic purses, too. The now re-imagined Sam Shoulder Bag, for example, was the first silhouette ever released by the brand, earning it a loyal client base of ‘90s career women who wanted a high-quality, sharp-looking bag on an entry-level salary.
Similar tote bag styles earned Kate Spade a couple of cameos in the original run of the “Sex and the City” series and iterations are still present on the shoulders of working women everywhere. Its celebrity fan base remains consistent today, now popular among younger stars like Millie Bobby Brown. Not to mention, the stunningly sweet Love Shack Heart Shape Crossbody garnered a waitlist and 7.2 million views on TikTok from Gen Z shoppers.
Materials: Pebbled leather
Closure: Zip-top
Features: Interior and back slip pockets, removable and adjustable crossbody strap
$328
What experts say: “I love the dual purpose of this bag because it can be a shoulder bag or crossbody. It’s good for going out or everyday wear,” says López.
Materials: Satin, Italian Leather
Closure: Zip-top
Features: Removable chain strap, interior card slots

You can feel like you’re part of the family every time you sport a handbag from this twin sister-run brand. By Far manufactures all of its bags in family-owned factories in Bulgaria and Spain, where craftsmen pay sharp attention to detail, as evidenced by the fine, nearly imperceptible stitching and elevated materials featured in every design.
And if you don’t immediately recognize the By Far name, you’ll most definitely recognize its bags. Kendall Jenner has slung the ‘90s-inspired Rachel affordable shoulder bag over her shoulder a time or two. And the Amber bag keeps good company with Hollywood elite like Kaia Gerber, Selena Gomez, and Bella Hadid. While many of its carryalls have minimalistic designs, anyone seeking an option with more pizzazz can still find vibrant shocks of pink and chain link hardware intermixed throughout its collection.

Material: “Leather or faux leather is still your best friend when it comes to choosing a high-quality material for your bag,” says Newberger, who adds that nylon is another great option because it’s easy to clean and durable. López agrees and suggests opting for more unconventional materials like tweed, wicker, and straw bags to add additional personality to your carryall.
In addition to steering clear of cheap-looking materials such as polyester and polyurethane, López tells us to avoid plastic or overly shiny hardware. Instead, she suggests looking for minimal hardware and invisible stitching, adding that we should skip contrast and colorful stitching, because “this can make the bag feel juvenile, cheap, and not timeless,” she says. That doesn’t mean the fun is forbidden. As Newberger points out, design details like beading, unique handles, ruching, ties, and zippers can punch up the appearance of an affordable purse, regardless of material. “Each of these things offers the consumer something additional and helps justify the cost,” she adds.
Silhouette: In general, our experts agree that avoiding super trendy silhouettes and purchasing minimalist handbags is the best way to make an affordable handbag look more expensive than it is. Still, Lòpez says you can lean into the trends and have a multi-use, versatile piece by choosing a bag in a classic neutral color, and one made with high-quality materials, like Italian leather.
Additionally, you can’t go wrong with classic crossbody bags, or even belt bags as these are ideal for everyday wear since they allow you to go hands-free and keep the purse close by your side while you navigate through busy shopping centers and streets.
Size: “I believe that you need at least three bags in your closet,” says López. She recommends a small clutch for special occasions, a large leather or canvas tote bag to function as your catch-all bag for work and travel, and a go-to everyday purse such as a medium-sized crossbody bag. Most importantly, your bag should be large enough to fit whatever items you need that day. Purchasing structured bags with compartments and pockets can keep the bag looking sleek and polished, even if the inside is bulging with your life’s essentials.
Purpose: Before Newberger chooses the type of bag she’ll be carrying for the day, she considers how far she’s traveling, who she’s seeing, and even the weather. “If I see rain in the forecast whatsoever, I’m choosing an affordable bag over a statement one,” she says.
Above all, functionality is key, says López, who adds that you wouldn’t bring your work tote to a wedding or grab a micro-clutch before heading out for a long day with multiple pit stops. She asks herself, “Can it fit my phone, cards, keys, lipstick, and whatever I’ll need for the day? Does the work tote fit my laptop, chargers, water bottle, etc.? Does the bag have a zipper or snap closure for security and safety?”
Since 1910, WWD — often referred to as “the fashion bible” — has been the leading industry voice of authority for senior executives in the global women’s and men’s fashion, retail and beauty communities, while also informing the consumer media that cover the market. Today, WWD’s breaking news and trend coverage continues to be a trustworthy resource for both fashion insiders and consumers alike.

Then, we narrowed it down even further to divulge our top favorites.

For other styles, we enlisted additional research help from the WWD Shop editorial team and sought inspiration from our own closets.

Audree Kate López is a fashion stylist, blogger, and editor who’s worked on projects with brands like Marc Jacobs, Alice + Olivia, J. Crew, and Club Monaco. After styling clients and various celebrities in the past six years, she’s well versed in which accessories elevate an outfit, and the right handbag is chief among them. Although Lopez is partial to her Prada Saffiano Leather bag, she’s a firm believer that many affordable bag brands offer products with the same luxurious look and feel, and she often chooses ones from this very list for her everyday bags.
Heather Newberger is a wardrobe stylist, writer, and author of How to Date Your Wardrobe. She’s offered advice to publications such as NYLON, Marie Claire, InStyle, and the Wall Street Journal, including on the subject of handbags. Not only can she share which bag will look best with your outfit, but she also has an eye for understanding what types of handbags you’ll reuse over and over again.
Irene Richardson is a Brooklyn-based writer who covers fashion and beauty for brands such as InStyle, Byrdie, Brides, Travel + Leisure, and Footwear News. Her very first designer handbag was a Chloé Small Saddle Bag, which she has barely touched since moving to New York City since she finds it too fragile for long subway commutes and crowded sidewalks. She saves it for special occasions and opts for several bags from brands on this list instead. They allow her to blend in with the most fashionable residents in the city without worrying they’ll get destroyed or lose their luxe looks, and she frequently consults her coworkers, roommates, and friends about what are the best types of bags that fit their city lifestyle.
That’s why it sometimes feels like the pressure is on while shopping for a handbag. Plenty of things come into play when touring around for a new tote, like choosing from a bolder style or something classic for everyday wear. Springtime textures like tweed and wicker stand up against monochromatic carryalls to parade around come fall, while poppy pink baguettes will make you long for an eternal summer. And not to mention, handbags can come at a hefty price point, an investment always worth considering. That said: Picking the perfect handbag is like choosing a life partner, except, let’s face it, you’ll probably have your bag by your side way more often.
Few pieces in fashion feel as personal as a bag. With so many options — crossbodies, satchels, baguettes, buckets — and textiles, whether glittering, beaded, matte, or patent, they represent something larger than your typical accessory. To Jennifer Lopez , a purse is an extension of who she is; for Meghan Markle , it symbolizes women’s modern power. Blake Lively finds the essence of her style and the very “magic of her femininity” tucked within their compartments, and Carrie Bradshaw? She sums up the fashion staple’s power in Sex and The City so poignantly it’s almost poetic: “It’s just a little bag, but we’d feel naked in public without it.”

Bucket sacks in raffia leather to sport with crepe mini dresses, top-handled straw basket bags for summer jaunts abroad, and canvas totes for your next pickleball tournament. The heritage silhouettes of Tory Burch’s brand remain (along with their iconic double T logo, appearing on lock-and-key hardware and charms). Still, these new and exciting releases put a spin on their preppy and timeless design, making some feel youthful and spirited while others appear mature and refined. ICYMI — their Italian leathered Lee Radziwill Bag, a layered bag that unfolds like a trench coat’s collar, has even been compared to the Hermès Birkin because of its similar structure. So, whether you’re looking for a poppy cherry-colored shoulder bag, a mini top-handle satchel, or a woven jacquard textured statement piece, each handbag is ideal for any occasion and is meticulously crafted, whether it’s in detailed stitching or delicate leather. They’ll also run you anywhere from $250 to $800, a reasonable pricepoint for versatile and functional handbags that won't only last through the seasons but for years to come.

Founded in 2013, Mansur Gavriel began with two iconic shapes: A bucket bag and a tote. Since then, the brand’s ubiquitous designs have grown — appearing on the shoulders of celebrities like Sarah Jessica Parker, Katie Holmes, and Taylor Swift and in fun and exciting styles like their nostalgic, rectangular shoulder bags and knotted clutches. Chances are, you’ve seen a bag by the designer but couldn’t place them; that’s because the label exudes that quiet luxury feel everyone on your FYP is talking about right now. There are no logos, hardware, or major signifiers, but that’s what makes Mansur Gavriel so special. Their handbags are the ultimate cool-girl closet staple because of their simplified design. Instead, their delectable Italian vegetable-leathered purses have interiors painted with vibrant shades, and their signature M-framed baguette is a structured shape that you'll start to notice everywhere once it’s brought to your attention. Each option from the brand is a stylish statement worth the investment, but if you can’t find a true match for your wardrobe, don’t worry: The brand introduces seasonal color releases to pair with the season, stunning in every shade of burgundy to bright blue.

Dange Dover is the ultimate practical, sport-inspired handbag brand. The label makes the ideal “anywhere, anytime” bag, with a variety of simple and durable backpacks, duffles, and fanny packs that make your days just a little easier. Some of our favorites include their puffed nylon shoulder bag made of vegan materials (voted our best shoulder bag, FYI) and their neoprene diaper backpack for new parents. Each bag has an element of ease to it — whether it be the diaper bag that clips easily to a stroller or the water-proof backpacks with adjustable, roomy pockets. They’re also conscious in more ways than just one, offering an eco-friendly line of carryalls and totes in recycled material that we think would compliment your next airport fit since their bags flawlessly combine fashion with functionality.
Reformation
View On Reformation
You might’ve shopped Reformation for their linen midis and smocked tanks, but once you’ve laid your eyes on their newly released bag collection (and yes — we mean new, as in spring of this year), you’ll have the answer to that internal debate of, “Do I really need a new bag?” Spoiler alert: The answer is yes. Because while Reformation has been long known for its wedding guest attire, ultra-feminine blouses, and vintage-inspired denim, launching its first-ever Ref bag will make you wonder how the label had ever gone without a bag collection. Reformation’s purses are fully recyclable, on track with their sustainable “timeless, not trendy” clothing mission, creating trendy bags that remains antithetical to fast fashion — a huge feat, considering how hard it is sometimes to separate the two. They range in price from $248 to $698 and come in 20 shape options with plenty of colorways, including flashes of metallic and champagne leathers.

Staud

As a mid-tier luxury brand, Staud offers more affordable bag options than your regular luxury label. And like their price range, generally, their sizes are mid-ranged, making them the go-to night out bag or the ideal “just-right” bag, AKA a bag that is neither cumbersome (or rather— ludicrously capacious) nor micro-mini. Find casual and elevated options in retro shapes that can be comfortably tucked on the shoulder, in lively prints and surprising colorways. One of their most popular styles — the Tommy Bag, a cult favorite — has been sauntered by celebs like Kendall Jenner. It comes in playful beaded rainbows, rodeo swirls, and Italian-Girl Summer-inspired citruses. But, if quieter bags are more your style, there are plenty to peruse on their site: Sage green suedes, earthy jewel tones, and — our personal favorite — a tobacco-colored crescent that resembles Ralph Lauren’s half-moon bag at a much softer price point.

Cuyana’s off-duty, travel, and occasion handbags are a must-have for those seeking both practicality and versatility in one piece. While some turn to the sustainable brand for refined classics like charmeuse robes and washable silks, their handbag selection carries on with a similar spirit of timelessness and ease. Their Easy Tote proves it, a correctly named carryall that’s as uncomplicated as it is durable, with a tagline that says it’s “designed to go anywhere.” And we think that sentiment applies to all of their handbags — whether it’s their smooth and slim messenger or overnight luggage and backpacks. Each is made from Italian leather and recycled materials and has intentional pockets and compartments, meaning they are conscious of both creation and utility. Plus, that means they’re great for on-the-go mothers, busy work commuters, or those who love to indulge in a retail therapy session post-brunch.

Kate Spade’s brand has long been synonymous with fun — bold prints, floral appliques, and vibrant modernist pieces make up pretty much the entire collection. Each handbag is a colorful celebration, much like the ready-to-wear clothing from the label. The playful color palette and designs are what make their bags so great. Think to yourself: Where else could I find a high-quality bag shaped like a clementine (... or a crab or a croissant)? Their shoulder bags and satchels include that childlike dreaminess that doesn’t have to go away in adulthood just because you’ve gotten older. If you’re looking for something a little less avante garde, though, there are many options too, from well-constructed top handle bags in primary colors to cross-bodies in muted suedes. All pieces are also at a reasonable price point — going for around $140-380.

This Keoren label, helmed by designer duo Sungeun Um and Soonyoung Kim, is one to know. Each handbag draws inspiration from contemporary art, and in particular, from dance. They’re the ideal blend of heritage and modern, delivering pops of tangerine and frog green in their color palate in classic shape offerings. One of their most popular designs is a mini strapped hobo with a crackled texture and an adjustable strap that will accentuate an outfit and elevate it too. And it’s reasonably priced, too — the bag will run you about $250, which is a similar price point to their others. Still, no matter your shape choice, because of the art influence, each bag is a dance through the decades: wide-strapped 70s-inspired tan bags, 90s denim. You can find the brand on their site, but also in any major retailers like Nordstrom, Moda Operandi, and Bloomingdale’s.
Coach

No other fashion revival feels as talked about and praised as Coach. Their ‘It Bag’ status of the early 2000s had them under the arms of celebs like Brittney Spears, Paris Hilton, and Ashley Tisdale, a distinctive “CC” logo glittering in spotlights, both figuratively and literally. And while the early aughts solidified its spot as a top bag brand, the late 2010s through early 2020s have seen Coach undergo a remarkable transformation and resurgence in the fashion world. Their Tabby Bag (a reimagined shoulder bag from their archival 1970s collection) arguably skyrocketed the brand back into the center of the fashion sphere. The bag is a beautiful mix of b both classic and modern elements and is available in smooth and pillowy, squeezable leather, and — talk about a throwback — opaque jelly. Each bag category, though, no matter the shape or size, feels reminiscent of the old Coach but with a reinvigorated edge; the quality and the accessible pricepoint remain, but something new and exciting in their designs occurs every time.

If there’s one thing Carolina Santo Domingo does best, it’s creating a bag that makes someone stop you in the street and ask you, “Where did you get that?” Each purse is structural and luxe, whether in premium Italian leather or hand-woven straw styles, which makes them feel like an elevated and minimal-minded staple. Each shape is as interesting as the high-quality material is luxurious — they’re the type of bag doing something fresh, something unseen, from your typical shoulder bag. A standout piece is their Ostra bag, loosely inspired by the delicate shape of an oyster, which is a slanted moon bag with a tubular leather design that comes in two sizes, large and mini. Other exciting pieces include their cork tote, a hobo-style shoulder bag in a slouchy rectangular silhouette, and their wave raffia bag, an asymmetrical, ruffled shoulder moment.

For an edgier vibe, try Yuzefi — a lust-worthy, emerging London-based label founded in 2016 by Naza Yousefi. Their handbags are designed with those in mind who are seeking a well-made bag with an unconventional touch. Yousefi, having a background in ready-to-wear design, and commissioning for big industry names like Hedi Slimane (the Art Director of Céline, NBD), took her understanding of luxury products and applied it to her bag brand. The outcome was flawless. With creative constructions that shape without conventional joints or stitching, Yousefi produces a clean-lined shape at a contemporary price. Standouts include a knotted bag cheekily dubbed the Pretzel in a crackled, metallic leather and an irregularly shaped swirl tote.

Shop according to your handbag color preference at Boyy, and you’ll find rectangular, calfskin totes with shiny buckled belts — the brand’s signature style and motif — in poppy colors, but the unique designs don’t stop there. Founded in 2006 by designers and husband-and-wife duo Jesse Dorsey and Wannasiri Kongman started with the intention of creating distinctive yet timeless handbags. And that’s exactly what they’ve accomplished. Their designs are reminiscent yet entirely new, modern but simultaneously classic. They’re one to opt-in on when you’re feeling fatigued by designer labels and are at a reasonable price point for a mid-tier luxury brand, with their saddles and pouches running you anywhere from $630-$850. Boyy frequently pops up on The Real Real and Vestiaire Collective, too.

Each look remains cohesive and refined, though they provide an array of styles, from sleek clutches to slouchy totes. Some of their most popular handbags include their Demi Lune shoulder bag, a thick-trapped crescent-shaped bag in smooth calf leather, and the Sac, a structured carry-all tote with a spacey interior and a super-convenient pocket made to fit a 13’inch laptop— perfect for work commutes. No matter your style choice, each bag is crafted with graded leather in muted, earthy tones, making each piece look as sophisticated and polished as they feel.

It felt like you couldn’t refresh your Instagram without seeing Polène’s curvaceous equestrian-inspired bag pop up on the arm of an influencer or propped up on the lap of that person you follow who is well-versed in all things fashion this year. But just because the bag was everywhere, doesn’t mean it doesn’t deserve to be: In fact, their Numéro Dix (the name of that circular half-moon you’ve coveted through photos) earns all the hype it receives. Not only is the feeling of their handbags so high quality with their smooth calfskin leather and gorgeous textiles, but each bag is made to last in your closet because you’ll also want to wear it season after season. The brand’s claim to fame might be the Numéro Dix, still some other popular styles include the Cyme, a largely oversized canvas tote lined with Italian leather, and the Umi, a 90s-inspired baguette with a removable crossbody strap.

Touted by celebs like Kaia Gerber and Hailey Bieber, By Far is a brand lusted after by both celebrities and fashion editors for its retro and vintage-inspired accessories. When twin sisters Sabrina and Valentina and their best friend, Denitsa, launched the brand in 2016, their mission was to create distinct pieces that adapt to modern life; unknowingly, creating a label that is so in the zeitgeist, it has rapidly become a cult-favorite. Talk about a job well done. And when they entered the bag market in 2018, in collaboration with the luxury fashion retailer Net-A-Porter, it was immediately picked up. Their bags were so well-received because of the familiarity they brought with them: designs as sleek as their shoes and a price tag as wallet-friendly as theirs. Each purse is priced at around $200-450 and has interesting features like patent leather, pillowy silhouettes, and lustrous curved lines. Plus, they come in magnetic colors like shiny iridescent magentas and dreamy baby blues.
