1. An embossed floral handbag that's just so bloomin' awesome.
Promising review: "It holds a ton of goodies inside and still closes properly. I like the option of the short handles as well as the adjustable shoulder/crossbody strap. You don't need to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars to have a wonderful, beautiful, and awesome bag. And at this price point, I don't feel like I have to carry it every day for the next five years to get my money's worth out of it." —Monstertruckfan
Price: $61.99 (available in four colors)
2. A spacious carryall to be the perfect work and travel bag. The large size can fit a 15" laptop with room to spare, and the various compartments will keep miscellaneous items in place.
Promising review: "After doing quite a bit of research for a new day bag for work and travel, I settled on this Kattee leather bag, and I'm glad I did. It's the perfect size and has a great selection of different-sized pockets. It's super stylish and classy. I fly often for work and it's ideal for travel. You can't go wrong with a solid leather bag at this price." —Meg
Price: $79.99+ (available in two sizes and four colors)
3. A small duffle bag that's the definition of understated luxury. It's big enough to hold an iPhone Plus, a large wallet, an umbrella, and other small accessories.
4. A quilted backpack for an attractive alternative to a purse.
Promising review: "This is an awesome backpack. It's the perfect size for daily use. It's big enough for a book or two, a water bottle, and a sweater. Best of all, it has tons of pockets. The material is thick and durable — very well made. This is not going to be big enough for a school backpack, but it works great to use instead of a purse." —Monica
Price: $69 (available in three colors)
5. A classic crossbody that holds the key to your heart.
Promising review: "I don't usually write reviews, but I am so happy with this purchase that I wanted to share. This bag ticks all the right boxes — it's a true medium-sized bag; I can carry my essentials comfortably, plus a book or iPad. The back pocket is perfect for keys and my phone. The brown leather is beautiful, and the crossbody strap is the perfect width and doesn't dig into my shoulders like a lot of other bags do. I'm already thinking about which color to get next." —Johanna
Price: $135.14+ (available in six colors)
6. A vintage-style satchel with incredibly pretty details.
7. A small purse that'll fit all your essentials without getting too heavy.
Promising review: "I love this bag! It is butter-soft and has that lovely leather aroma. It is a smaller purse, but I wouldn't call it small as I can fit my wallet, keys, medication, makeup, and snacks in it just fine. The straps make it literally a grab and go — they are short so nothing falls out, and the long shoulder strap is completely adjustable for any length. I can honestly find nothing wrong with this purse. I would recommend it to anyone and am thinking of getting it in another color as well. Well worth the price." —DJ Reviews
Price: $42.99+ (available in four colors)
8. A tote with different compartments so you can actually find your stuff without digging through the entire thing.
Promising review: "I have had my bag for over a month now and love everything about it. It is made of a high-quality leather with a lovely lining and has loads of pockets to help keep me organized. Best yet, my Dell Notebook fits perfectly, which is why I bought the bag in the first place." —Elizabeth Morabito
Price: $55.99 (available in a two shapes and seven colors)
9. A slim, convertible backpack that's more spacious than it looks.
Promising review: "Very well made and my 13" laptop fits in snugly. It has just enough space to carry my laptop, power cord, MiFi, phone, and a few other items that support me on my daily two-hour Amtrak commute. The thing I love most is that in addition to the little handle, there is only one strap. It can be used to wear on one shoulder, or you can pull it down and it becomes the backpack straps. Very innovative and reduces bulk." —Cathryne Doss
Price: $69.99 (available in five colors)
10. An embossed crocodile doctor bag for looking bougie on a budget.
Promising review: "This purse is very well-made and looks ultra-expensive. I bought it to replace a pricier Coach domed satchel bag and I like this bag much better. The only downside I have found is that the interior cell phone pockets are too small to hold larger cell phones, especially when they are in a bulky protective case. I have received numerous compliments on this bag and am extremely satisfied with my purchase!" —Sharon R. Moffatt
Price: $79.99 (available in three colors)
11. A metallic clutch sure to be the highlight of any outfit. It has slots built in for credit cards and bills, so you won't need to bring a wallet!
Promising review: "It is not super flashy but is real leather and well made. Inside, the credit card slots and pockets keep the few items I bring with me in order. My Samsung Galaxy phone fits inside and is protected. I like how the strap pulls the purse closed and when I loop the strap on my wrist, everything stays together. It has proven to be a functional and pretty clutch. The price is great for a real leather purse. I ended up buying two: one in silver and one in red." —Wendy Van Camp
Price: $16.99 (available in seven colors)
12. A backpack that comes with an extra strap so it can also be worn on the shoulder.
Promising review: "This backpack/purse is seriously the best I've ever had. The stitch/leather/hardware quality is top notch. The design is so convenient: the two pockets on the sides are perfect for easy-to-reach objects (phone, pocket mirror, hand lotion, lipstick, lip balm), and the back pocket is very secure for flat items against your back, like car documents and a passport. On the inside, there is one big pocket I use for miscellaneous touch-up items, and two little pockets for cards, sunscreen, tissues, coupons, and keys. The bag itself is SO roomy. I carry way too much stuff, and it all fits. I can have food and a drink in there, my big wallet, a sweatshirt, sunglasses, whatever. The longer shoulder strap is convenient because in certain museums and stores backpacks are not allowed. I also get a ton of compliments on it. People notice!"—Ivanna Y
Price: $63.68 (available in six colors)
13. A small crossbody with multiple zippered pockets on the outside to keep everything organized and within reach.
Promising review: "It's big enough to carry a lot of things (with good-sized compartments so I can keep things separate). I wear it over my shoulder, not cross body, and it's a good length. It's probably one of the first bags I've bought where I haven't wished something about it was different; usually, I either don't have enough zippered pockets, or one's not deep enough, or the zipper doesn't close well, or the strap's too thin, etc. With this one, I don't have any issues, which surprised me. I like the flat bottom so it sits upright wherever I put it and I don't need to lean it against anything." —Mollie M.
Price: $41.99 (available in six colors)
14. A slouchy shoulder bag that won't lose its shine.
Promising review: "I purchased this bag in December 2016 and have used it daily since. The leather has softened up and become more flexible, but the integrity has not been compromised. There are zero scratches or marks on the leather, even after seven months of wear. I'm always one to throw my bag on the floor, and it has held up! The bottom of the bag still looks brand new! I get so many compliments on this bag, and I haven't seen another person with it! It holds up fantastically through normal wear and tear." —Jenna A Campbell
Price: $84.97(available in six colors)
15. A structured satchel for anyone who digs that minimalist chic aesthetic.
Promising review: "I have been looking for a simple purse that didn't have a lot of hardware or flashy designer logos and was of good quality, and I am so happy with this purchase. This purse is so lovely; it is the perfect size and meets my needs for function and a minimalist aesthetic. The best thing about it is that it comes with an optional cross body strap, which is a lifesaver when running errands or shopping. The exterior of the bag closes without any zippers, and the single strap is quite sturdy and stays in place. My only complaint is that the interior fabric should be of a different and lighter color just so it would be easier to find things quickly." —FUR
Price: $59 (available in two colors)
16. A drawstring bucket bag that'll look great no matter how much stuff you throw in it. It even comes with a removable pouch inside so everything stays organized.
Promising review: "Perfect size and the quality is excellent. The strap is adjustable (to a point), meaning you can lengthen it or shorten it slightly more, but I prefer the length it came as. Great as a going-out bag because it is small enough to not get in the way but large enough to hold a full-size wallet and plenty of other things. It's in a bucket bag style but not clunky or weirdly-shaped like many others I have seen. I will probably be purchasing in different colors!" —Carly
Price: $39.99
17. A mini crossbody perfect for running errands.
Promising review: "Beautiful, adjustable crossbody purse. Perfect size for when you need something bigger than a wallet but smaller than a handbag. It has a gorgeous finish and smells intoxicatingly like leather. The fringe adornment is fun without looking cheap. The strap is removable so it can double as a clutch. The main body is separated by a zippered pocket. The purse shows a quality of workmanship that you won't necessarily find for this price elsewhere. The seams are evenly sewed — there were no loose threads or flaws on it at all. It came well packaged, too. I couldn't be happier — this is exactly what I was looking for (and believe me, I spent hours looking for the right purse)." —Tekkiechikk
Price: $29.99 (available in six colors)
18. A backpack that looks something Cher from Clueless would wear.
Promising review: "I like the bag a lot. It has the right design for me, with those two pockets on the sides. If you want to take out your phone or anything else, you don't need to take off the bag. Just use the zip and that's it. The pockets are very roomy. The leather is soft, everything is well made, and the hardware is quite good — it doesn't look cheap at all. It's a good quality bag — worth the money." —Amazon Customer
Price: $69.98 (available in nine colors)
19. A crossbody with silver hardware to add some edginess to an ensemble.
Promising review: "Love this purse. Worth the cost. Excellent materials. Pretty fabric liner in the upper pocket. Love the cell phone pocket that sits against your leg (phone is out of sight and safe but you can also feel the phone vibrate since the pocket is against your leg). Simple compartments on the inside. It's a nice medium-sized purse that will fit a wristlet/wallet but is not as big as a tote. Will be using this until it wears out." —Maggie
Price: $98.95+ (available in 16 colors)
20. A hobo bag that's as functional as it is attractive.
Promising review: "This handbag is perfect. Not too big and not too small. The lining is brown and not black, which makes it easier to locate an item. I purchased the dark gray, which is very attractive. Has enough pockets on the inside and outside for organization." —mapeel
Price: $63.99 (available in five colors)
21. A sleek top-handle bag to give your life some structure.
Promising review: "This bag has clean lines. It looks sophisticated and classy. If you prefer softer, hobo-style bags, this is not the bag for you. It is large enough to hold all of my belongings neatly (incl. a tablet, wallet, two phones, cosmetic case, sunglasses case, keys, crayons for my daughter, etc.) without me having to worry about the items wearing bulges into the leather. The crossbody strap is great because it allows me to free up my hands when I need to; it's also adjustable, with five holes. This bag is good quality for a low price." —Amazon Customer
Price: $68.90 (available in six colors)
22. A minimalist backpack that conveniently transforms into a shoulder bag with the pull of a handle.
Promising review: "The leather is soft and unblemished and the interior is a dark, purplish-brown fabric. The backpack’s structured, minimalist design makes it look much more expensive than it actually is. It’s the perfect size to take out for the day as it’s small enough to be unobtrusive but can hold a water bottle, Kindle, notebook, large wallet, phone, chargers, and snacks. There’s a zippered exterior pocket that rests against your back where I kept my passport and money — I could access it quickly but it also couldn’t be easily pickpocketed. There’s also the option of pulling the straps up so that the backpack becomes a purse or messenger bag. Despite coming with me on trips that included the beach, this backpack still looks great after six months of extensive use. It’s retained its structure and the leather hasn’t faded or peeled anywhere — it still looks as though it could be brand new." —Samantha
Price: $62.99 (available in three colors)
23. A soft and elegant shoulder bag with a zipper closure so everything stays secure.
Promising review: "The straps are long enough to put over the shoulder. Plenty of organized storage inside. I like the pocket on the outside of the purse to put my cell phone and car keys in for easy access. The color is quite close to that shown in the picture. Some reviewers think the opening is not large enough but I think it's fine and have no trouble getting things in or out." —Kake
Price: $63.98 (available in seven colors)
24. A slouchy carryall that can be worn three ways (tote, shoulder, and crossbody), depending on the situation.
Promising review: "This is a beautiful tote! Stunning soft black leather with quality hardware. I plan to use this for traveling when I want to bring my iPad along. It has plenty of room for it and all the extra necessities needed for traveling. It's such a nice size that I might go ahead and use it every day. They packaged it very nicely, and I was very pleased to see the care they took in covering up all the hardware so that nothing gets scratched." —lovthelake
Price: $68.90 (available in three colors)
25. A large duffle bag so you can look chic on a trip. You'll get some great travel photos for the 'gram with this one.
Promising review: "This bag is the bomb! It looks like a million bucks —
excellent value for the amount paid. I love the black leather name tag holder included, and there are a couple of inner pockets for my computer and smaller items. The zipper runs the whole length of the bag, which is important to me since I will quickly unload my carry-on items needed during my flight so I don't hold up the line on the airplane before putting my bag in the overhead bin. I am a female executive and I consider this a very beautiful and functional bag!" —Travel Alot
Price: $129.99+ (available in two colors and sizes)
26. A bucket tote that'll sit comfortably on the shoulder and comes with many, many pockets.
Promising review: "I absolutely LOVE this bag. It's so roomy inside. I like the sturdy one-strap and how it hooks on to the rest of the bag so it doesn't look like it could possibly break (and I carry tons of stuff with me every day). The two huge bonuses to me are the organizer that comes inside — I have it full of all my little things that usually get lost in a big bag, and the fact that there are pockets ALL THE WAY AROUND the bag. Great for my keys, sunglasses, and cell phone. Again, all the things that I am always digging for in my bag. It's really beautiful and goes with everything. Love it!" —Laura
Price: $55.99 (available in five colors)
27. A stylish Michael Kors bag you won't worry about scratching!
28. A doctor bag that could easily be mistaken for a designer piece.
Promising review: "Wow, this is a very high-quality bag at a great price. I just unboxed it, and the packaging ensures there is no damage. It includes a dust bag. The size is perfect — not too large, not too small. The clasp is a swivel-up clip (think hinge, but nicer), and the top frame is also magnetized. The hardware is first-rate. One could wear it under the arm temporarily if needing two hands while shopping, but this is not a shoulder bag — it's a handbag in the purest form. Lovely, classic. I highly recommend it." —Gayle M.
Price: $69.98 (available in 10 colors)
29. A fancy crossbody you can dress up or down. It comes with two straps of different lengths and a removable pouch inside.
Promising review: "This quickly became my favorite purse! I was looking for a durable crossbody that would be classy for court or church. Love this! There are a few compartments and snaps that keep belongings out of sight but I can easily grab them. It looks like a much more expensive purse. I bought a brown one, too!" —RnAshAsh
Price: $38.99+ (available in five colors)
30. A wristlet that comes with a crossbody chain so you can be hands-free and happy.
Promising review: "Very nice material and a great purse to dress up a casual outfit or finish off a night on the town. Very versatile; big enough for a pen, cell phone, wallet, lipstick, and mirror. I really like the fact that I can load it up and drop it into my brief case." —Bert
Price: $15.99 (available in five colors)
31. A roomy tote with a distressed finish that'll fit your laptop and notebooks while keeping its shape.
Promising review: "Love the coffee color and the feel of the leather, too. This bag is the perfect size: I have my MacBook Pro in there, along with all the cords. It has several pockets and a zipper divider, as well as a zipped pocket on the outside. I can see this bag aging well and have already received several compliments on it. This was a good purchase." —Lisa Mccully
Price: $84.99 (available in four colors)
32. A luxe top handle bag that'll be your new go-to shopping partner.
Promising review: "Love this purse! Wow, this looks much more expensive than it was. I purchased in black, and immediately upon receiving it, placed a second order for the brown one. I am 5'6" and the shoulder strap is the perfect length for me, with the purse hitting right at my waist on the tightest setting. Love the style and the functionality of the purse. All the pocket options are great. I own some very expensive designer purses and I have to say this rivals the best of them, making me shake my head at spending so much on purses in the past. This is a pebbled leather — it is a textured, thick leather, which I love. Much more durable than softer leather." —Katie
Price: $66.99 (available in five colors)
33. A backpack you can take anywhere: school, vacation, the grocery store... the list goes on.
Promising review: "I really like this backpack purse! Not too big and not too small. Will fit a tablet easily. We like to go to festivals, ball games, and other outdoor activities, and this purse is great during all of those activities. Also, I wear it when I'm grocery shopping. It looks like a nice handbag, so I can use it all the time. No need to change purses for different activities!" —Lori Hingtgen
Price: $59 (available in six colors)
34. A classic Michael Kors tote that's a worthy investment.
Promising review: "Great, great tote. Soft leather and light weight. Love it all, but the four sort of hidden pockets around the outside are GENIUS! My cell goes in one, my reading glasses in another, and I still have two left for receipts and other things — and you can't tell that there are things in those pockets when you look at the bag. LOVE IT!" —Kay Maye
Price: $133.98+ (available in 17 colors)
