No, You Don't Have to Spend Thousands for a Chic Handbag—30 Gorgeous Finds Under $300
If there's one thing I love, it's a chic handbag. I'm especially enthralled when it doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Don't get me wrong. There's a time and a place for a beautiful investment bag, but if you're looking for a gorgeous bag priced under $300, I've got you covered. I've done what I do best and scoured my favorite online retail hot spots (think Staud, Nordstrom, and Shopbop) for some incredible handbag deals that I just had to share with you, including picks with intricate beading and fun pleats.
Whether you're in the market for a pretty everyday bag or a statement piece, there's a chic handbag ahead for you. You can expect trendy colors and silhouettes along with classic styles. Keep scrolling to score your new favorite handbag.
