Fun Fact: The Absolute Best Designer Bags of the Season Are All From Nordstrom
My laundry list of reasons to love shopping from Nordstrom spans everything from its abundant discounts to the range of trendy pieces and staples to incredibly easy returns and so much more. One characteristic that's often overlooked is its top-tier designer selection. You didn't know about that? You can find it here! Whether you're looking to invest in a chic coat, new boots, or—the topic of today's roundup—an It bag for the season, I strongly advise you not to sleep on Nordstrom's rather elite selection of high-end labels.
From Bottega Veneta to Khaite to Saint Laurent, it's got the most important brands of the season and the very best of each one's styles. Please, don't just take my word for it. Keep scrolling to see the bags for yourself, and apologies in advance if your little lighthearted perusal leads to a major purchase!

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. Upon joining, she was a senior about to graduate from business school at USC. Fast-forward to 2025, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was just starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content and her Trust Me—Buy This newsletter. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to neutral, classic pieces but will always make an exception for something colorful or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a party is dressing up for one. On her downtime, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
