15 Hot Designer Bags You're Going to Want to Wear All Year Long
When it comes to bag shopping, there are a few ways to go. More affordable options are always a good idea, or you can opt for a classic designer name that has been around for decades. But, if you want to go in a slightly different direction, we're seeing a lot of what we like to call mid-range brands and designers pop up. These fresh new names have a ton of great bags at more accessible price points. Plus, we can't stop seeing them all over Instagram and TikTok.
A few of our favorite designer bags under $1000 include Wandler, Cult Gaia, and even some that have been around for awhile like A.P.C. and Mansur Gavriel. What do all these brands have in common? They're a great way to get something cool that's made with quality materials and leathers, without shelling out thousands. Yes, these bags are still pricey and often over $500, but they're also mostly under a thousand. Ahead, we curated a list of our favorite picks for fall, and they all are under $800. From clutches to crossbody bags, we guarantee you'll fall in love with at least one.
