The 15 Best Designer Handbags You Can Buy on Amazon
A little digging on Amazon can go a long way, especially when it comes to fashion. As you're probably already familiar, the online retailer is stocked to the virtual brim with everything from wardrobe essentials and buzzy designs inspired by TikTok trends to one of our personal favorites: designer handbags. The site has everything from famous American heritage labels like Coach and Marc Jacobs to celebrity-adored brands like Staud and JW Pei. Not to mention, there's every type of silhouette you could ask for, including spacious tote bags, convenient crossbodies, and stylish shoulder bags, among others.
Ahead, we've rounded up some of our favorites, perfect for transitioning from the end of summer to fall. Plus, there are options for every type of style-lover and a range of budgets. Two standout bags under $100 are a Vera Bradley cotton patchwork design that will inspire all your friends to buy it too, and an asymmetrical JW Pei bag bound to turn heads. You can also find the highly recognizable Marc Jacobs tote, this time in a playful mesh fabric. Speaking of texture, there's so much of it here, from raffia to rope.

Best Cotton Shoulder Bag

Best Pebbled-Leather Bag
Kate Spade New York Leila Medium Triple Compartment Satchel Crossbody Bag Purse Handbag ($142, originally $150)
This duo-toned pebbled leather Kate Spade bag has hundreds of five-star ratings on Amazon. One person wrote that it's "truly the perfect bag," adding that it's "not too big and not too small." Many others shared similar sentiments. Our favorite? "It's absolutely RIDICULOUS how gorgeous and practical this purse is. I'm in love." We are too.
Best Crescent Bag
Madewell Essentials Crescent Sling Bag ($148)
Not everyone knows that you can snag this Madewell bestseller on Amazon. Right now, it's up for grabs in Chocolate Raisin (pictured) and classic black. It's made from genuine leather with an adjustable strap and can be worn multiple ways. Thousands have already added it to their carts on Madewell's site this past week, per the brand's website, but the benefit of buying on Amazon is that with Prime one-day shipping, you could be wearing it as soon as tomorrow.
Best Mesh Tote Bag
Marc Jacobs Women's The Mesh Medium Tote Bag ($165, originally $275)
As much as we love Marc Jacobs's classic canvas tote bag, we're crushing hard on this sheer mesh design with raised lettering. It has interior pockets so your wallet and other personal items aren't on full display.
Best Woven Bag
A.L.C. Women's Parker Bag ($207, originally $295)
There's so much to love about this woven bag, from its unique twisted handle to its multicolored striped design. It's made of raffia, with an unstructured shape that you can tuck under your arm like a clutch or carry by the handle.
Best Clutch
Loeffler Randall Women's Trudie Frame Clutch ($228, originally $325)
Calling all texture lovers: This dainty clutch is a summer (or holiday!) must have. The crocheted raffia design looks like it should cost in the thousands, and the twisted gold metal chain strap is removable, so you can wear it as a clutch or sling it over your shoulder.
Best Glossy Leather Bag
Brandon Blackwood Women's Daphne Bag ($235)
Run, don't walk — because the world has seemingly yet to catch on that this Brandon Blackwood bag is available on Amazon. And here's the kicker: it's sold out in four colors on the brand's site, so you might want to keep it a secret before you get yours. The mix of brass hardware and rich, chocolate-brown leather gives this bag an ultra-sophisticated vibe that's perfect for fall.
Best Moon Bag
Staud Moon Tote Bag ($295)
Trust us, you'll find endless ways to wear this versatile moon tote— from dinner dates to vacation — and it'll complement everything in your wardrobe, all year round. One of our editors deems it her "all-time favorite accessory." Find out why she reaches for it so often in her Staud Moon Tote Bag review.
Editor Quote: "What I love about the Staud Moon Bag is that it manages to be both timeless and unique — a rare combination in the world of handbags. I have the black leather version, and it's truly a chameleon piece. No matter what outfit I'm wearing, no matter the season, this bag complements it perfectly, adding a special touch without overpowering the look. I've probably worn it over 100 times by now and it never fails to spark compliments; I've had more than a few people ask where it's from." — Marisa Petrarca, contributing editor, Commerce
Best Hobo Bag
Rag & Bone Women's Spire Hobo Straw Bag ($315, originally $450)
If your wardrobe includes plenty of denim, you should definitely consider this slouchy hobo bag. It's woven from paper straw with leather trim and it's the perfect way to elevate your basic white T-Shirt and jeans combo.
Best Studded Bag
Clare V. Women's Lune Bag ($375)
Studded accessories are making a major comeback this fall, and brands are fully embracing the trend — just look at this Clare V. style. The oat suede version is currently only available in-store at Clare V., so if you're not near one of their boutiques, ordering it on Amazon is the next best option.
Best Sleek Bag
Coach Women's Swing Zip ($395)
This sleek Coach bag is often sold out on the brand's website, but many people don't know you can scoop it up on Amazon in one of four colors. It comes in the earthy green pictured here, while the other colors have already flown off the virtual shelves. (It's that popular!) The silhouette is based on an archival design from 1988 and reimagined for today, featuring long adjustable shoulder straps, protective feet at the base, and inside pockets for organized storage.
Best Straw Vacation Tote
Anine Bing Palermo Tote Ivory ($450)
Chances are you've heard of (or seen) Anine Bing's famous hoodies if you don't already wear one on the regular. But it's time to expand our horizons with the brand with this 100 percent straw tote. It's the perfect combination of coastal and chic, and it's spacious enough for a beach day. It features a magnetic closure and both short and long handles.
