Designer Bag Prices Have Gone Up, But I Found These 34 Under $500
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.
