If you’re in the market for a new designer handbag, let us let you in on a little secret: you don’t need to spend thousands of dollars in order to find one you’ll love and want to carry every day. In fact, we’re confident that there’s an affordable designer purse out there for you, because we’ve done our research and found 10 stunning options, each with a price tag under $500.

Now that’s not to say that’s an insignificant amount of money, but when you think about the years (sometimes decades) of use you can get out of a quality handbag, it’s suddenly not so unreasonable to shell out for one you’ve fallen in love with. And with options from brands like Coach and Staud that range from trendy to timeless, we have a feeling there are some promising prospects listed ahead.

All products and deals are sourced by the Rank & Style team using data and expert insights. If you shop through our links, we may earn a commission—at no extra cost to you.
