You're Not Dreaming—These 29 Designer Bags Are Actually Under $300

Every fashion person knows that a great handbag ties together a look. But securing a high-quality designer handbag can add up with many options going from several hundreds of dollars to thousands and thousands. While I'm all for putting together a great look, I try to find alternatives to higher-budget luxury bags. I regularly spend countless hours scrolling through the internet's handbag offerings, and many affordable options have caught my attention time and time again. I've dug through these websites and curated a selection of beautiful designer handbags for about $300 or less.

Ahead you'll find top picks from your favorite designer brands including (but not limited to) Ganni, Kate Spade, Coach, Tory Burch, Staud, and so much more. Shop handbag styles for every occasion from low-key clutches to the quirky miniature bag styles. There's something for every kind of bag lover and all at such an affordable price point.
