Spoiler Alert: These Affordable Handbag Trends Will Be Everywhere Come September

As a handbag hoarder, I can speak from experience when I say there isn’t anything quite as satisfying as pulling your fall and winter purses out of storage. Whether it’s a $500 suede bucket bag or a $50 shearling-lined baguette, fall handbag trends are some of my favorites to play around with and introduce back into my seasonal wardrobe. It can, however, prove extremely difficult if you’re like me and want the latest, shiniest It bags and purse trends after seeing them go viral on Instagram. (Trust me—neither my closet nor my credit card can take another hit!)

Thankfully, if you’re in the market for a new handbag this fall, every must-have style feels extremely versatile and rewearable, and if you dig deep enough, you can find them on a sweet budget. Personally, I tend to invest a little bit more into my purses than other items thanks to my nitpicky attitude about leather, stitching, and construction. To be honest, though, there are some swoon-worthy finds coming in under $350 that I’m already salivating over. 

Below, shop the five biggest handbag trends of the fall, including wallet-friendly options you won’t have to think twice about. No buyer’s remorse here!
