1. A large tote with room for your laptop, paperwork, makeup bag, keys, and — not to be forgotten — midday snack.
Promising review: "I have never been a big purse kind of person but this purse has SO many pockets and it has another bag inside for organization. I truly have never had a purse like this! I am so happy with this purchase and can’t wait to buy from them again!" —Mackenzie Kincaid
Price: $83.99+ (available in five colors)
2. A Fossil clutch with durable double stitching, two bill compartments, two zippered pockets, 12 credit card slots, and room for whatever tablet-sized smartphone you're carrying these days.
Promising review: "I love this clutch. My Samsung Galaxy S9+ fits inside while in the case and it has lots of room for cards and cash. I bought it to replace my previous Fossil wallet which I used daily for over 10 years. It still functions but it is starting to show wear so I thought I'd upgrade. It's super cute and functional. Hopefully it lasts as long as my previous one." —Sarah R
Price: $47.60+ (available in six colors)
3. A compact crossbody that conceals a myriad of zippered pockets, split compartments, and card slots.
Promising review: "I can't tell you all enough how much I LOVE this purse! I looked forever for something like this. All the pockets are great and the built-in wallet is perfect! Had plenty of slots, extra hide-aways, and a change purse. I got the beautiful toffee color in a soft leather. I will buy this again in a different color for sure!! It's the perfect purse! ❤️❤️❤️" — Tami Durcan
Price: $126 (available in 11 colors).
4. A small Kate Spade satchel with an optional shoulder strap for those days when you just have too many things to carry.
Promising review: "I really enjoy this bag, it is able to fit all of the items I need on a daily basis, and I carry a good amount of items. I can fit my sunglasses (with the case), wallet, phone, keys, hand sanitizer, small hand lotion, snacks, travel-sized Tylenol, gum, pens, Post-Its, etc. the best part is that this purse does not feel too big or bulky." —Ashley Kimberly Garcia
Price: $104+ (available in two colors)
5. A small Coach wristlet with signature logo embossing and room for everyday essentials like your cards and cash.
Promising review: "Love! Quality is very good. Received order within a week. Coach tag inside and leather care instructions. Not big enough for iPhone XR, but no complaints — it's worth the buy." —sarah vaughn
Price: $65.04+ (available in two colors)
6. A slouchy bucket bag with two — count 'em, two! — different straps so you can switch up your look.
Promising review: "I have been looking at Bostanten's bags on Amazon for about 3 months, along with others as I tend to try to justify my purchases. This company caught my eye because of the styles and colors they had. I looked at zippers, pockets material etc hoping I would spend my hard earned money on a lasting product. I purchased this blue bag, one of their matching wallets, and a makeup kit. All items are of excellent quality and craftsmanship. The leather is thick and the cornflower blue is a nice pop of color. I was surprised to find that there was a large removable make up bag of sorts inside that has interior pockets like a typical purse which I had not expected. There are two different straps you can use I preferred the multi- color fabric strap over the blue more rigid one. I have found a company that takes great care with their product!" —A. Hopkins
Price: $59.49+ (available in 21 colors)
7. A quilted backpack for those days when a crossbody bag or clutch just won't cut it.
8. A handcrafted shoulder bag with a removable strap and a chevron design you don't see everyday.
9. A genuine leather saddle bag that will only get better with age! While it looks compact, it does actually have room for small electronics, too.
Promising review: "This leather crossbody bag is AWESOME! Love at first sight! When I first received my bag I was so impressed. Exactly as the picture. I contacted the seller via email with a question regarding the buckle. The seller then informed me that he think his production department sent wrong bags to Amazon. So he told me to keep the bag and he'd send me the correct one free of cost. I received my new bag yesterday and it is MORE AWESOME than the first bag! And then there was a surprise waiting for me inside the bag. A beautiful journal. I love to write. This seller went above and beyond anything I was expecting. If you’re considering ordering this bag..... Please do. I promise you that you won’t be disappointed. As I’ve stated before, this bag is AWESOME. Not only is there a concealed lock under main buckle, both pockets on front of bag have concealed locks. Pockets are large enough to hold my iPhone 6s while inside leather wallet case and pocket locks with no problem. Inside holds my iPad and so much more. There’s two zippered pockets inside that are deep and large. See pics that I’ve included with my review. I will always order from this seller. Very professional and kind. I wish him much success." —SteelersGirl4Lyfe
Price: $39.99
10. A medium Michael Kors crossbody with a subtle design punctuated by a partial chain strap.
11. A Frye zip tote that's a no-brainer because... well, it's from Frye — one of the best leather brands out there.
Promising review: "This bag is absolutely fantastic. I love it and have received many compliments. It's one of my favorites." —Adrienne Adkins
Price: $209.42+ (available in six colors)
12. A roomy tote with different compartments so you can actually find your stuff without digging through the entire thing.
Promising review: "I love this handbag. I even bought another one in a different color. I love all the compartments. It's made my life easier. The quality is excellent so I can see myself having this for many, many years. This is the best soft leather handbag I've seen in years. I have been looking a long time for a purse of this quality for this price. I wish I could buy more but I have a budget.. I will hint to my family about this brand for birthdays (darn just had mine this month) and Christmas. The wine color is so rich looking I get lots of compliments. It feels like luxury to me when I use it. I look forward to see what other products Covelin makes. I'm a fan." —A
Price: $47.99 (available in 27 colors)
13. A small crossbody with multiple zippered pockets on the outside to keep everything organized and within reach.
Promising review: "This ended up exceeding my expectations! It is well made. Robust zippers (I'm brutal with purses). Decent durable leather that doesn't scratch easily. Very good looking. I'm not one to buy things in multiple colors, so whatever I buy has to work across all scenarios. Usually black works for everything. My priority is to have one workhorse that will last a long time and this fits the bill. Great for work. Great for everything outside of work (except when I'm hiking or camping, etc.; would be carrying backpack or similar then). Simple and classy enough for evening events as well. Just the right number of pockets for my purposes (iPhone, keys, thick wallet, checkbook, todo lists and receipts, event tickets, small cosmetic stuff). It's not very large (and therefore not very heavy) but neither is it terribly small. Just right!" —Mary Stewart
Price: $40.99 (available in two 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!" —Rick and Ashly
Price: $39.99+ (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)
