The Ultimate Spring Handbag Shopping List—From $34 to $4K
I'm not sure what it is, but something about the warmer weather just makes me want to spend money on handbags. Throughout the winter I'm used to schlepping around totes and go-to black shoulder bag, but in the spring I tend to bring out my A-game in the purse department with beaded options, fun colors, and different textures like raffia or pleated leather. I've kept my cool and have only let myself purchase one as of now (I'll let you know below which bag is on its way to me), but that doesn't mean I can't share the fun and give you the dose you need of spring-ready handbags. Even if these bags are trend-forward, you'll still be enjoying them for a long time, I promise.
The selection below comes in all price ranges, so whether you're looking to splurge on Gucci or want a quick affordable option, there's a bag you'll love. We've even added those in the middle ground like Staud and Coach, so you can expect the current best of the best in all categories. Keep scrolling to upgrade your accessory game this season—or you can just admire them, I wouldn't blame you.
I have on-and-off feelings with yellow, but this bag has me on board.
