When it comes to shopping for designer bags online, one of my favorite things to do is sort the prices from low to high on the sites that allow it. Cheap designer bags aren't really a thing, but I always like to know what the least-expensive ones are. Sometimes, I'm pleasantly surprised. For example, I purchased a Loewe bag last summer that I assumed would cost at least a few hundred dollars more. A more expensive bag isn't always better, so a slightly cheaper style can be a smart buy for many reasons.
Below, I've highlighted some of the most coveted designer bag brands (e.g., Gucci, Ferragamo, Prada, and more) and have chosen the most "worth it" of the least expensive bags from each. They're all perfect for year-round use and will elevate all your outfits exponentially—trust me.
