As you may already know, I'm very into bags. From tracking down the best options on secondhand sites to curating my own little collection to simply seeing them in my day-to-day work "research", if there's a cool purse out there, I know about it and have already thought about owning it. So in my continued effort to bring you all some grade-A content, today, I thought I'd gather my favorite designer It bags of the moment but with a very exciting peg.
From classics like Prada and Gucci to current It-girl brands like BY FAR or Luar, I've rounded up the 35 coolest, brand-new, under-$500 purses on the market right now, just for you. Since I likely lost you at under $500, I'll end it here and let you continue on to shop.
