There's something particularly exciting about topping off a great look with a gorgeous handbag. While I love luxury designer bags, it isn't always realistic for many fashion lovers like myself to invest thousands of dollars into higher-ticket buys. As a style lover and fashion editor, I've made it my mission to discover brands that offer quality, cool-girl handbags at an affordable price point. Since I'm all about spreading the love, I've dug through my favorite online hotspots to find some beautiful options for under $300, and I've highlighted my current favorites below. My picks include bags that have unique designs and accents that'll cater to just about anyone's stylistic sensibilities.
From beautiful handbags that give off cool alternative vibes to ones that scream fashion girl, there's something for everyone. Keep scrolling to find your new favorite handbag ahead.
