BEST HANDBAGS UNDER $100

I love my designer bags, but most of my collection is made up of more affordable pieces. Though I believe mine have been 100% worth the investment, they’re definitely more of a luxury than a necessity– despite what TikTok might tell you! I don’t need any more handbags (especially since I have the boys with me most of the time), but if I did, these are the budget-friendly options I’d consider right now.

P.S. This roundup of the best handbags under $100 does have one outlier, but I promise it’s a worthy exception!!

RAFFIA BUCKET BAG ($49 with EXTRA30) // MINI SHOPPER BAG ($42 with EXTRA30) // ROUND WOVEN RATTAN BAG

CANVAS BUCKET BAG // TERRYCLOTH AUGUST TOTE // LE PILAGE COSMETICS CASE // MINI BOAT AND TOTE ($25!)

WAVE CANVAS TOTE (40% off!) // BAMBOO TOP HANDLE HANDBAG ($25!) // THEA TOP HANDLE BAG

RAFFIA BUCKET BAG ($49 with EXTRA30) // The contrast trim, the buckle, the woven look… what’s not to love?! I couldn’t help but put one of the best bags of this roundup first. The 30% off makes it even better.

MINI SHOPPER BAG ($42 with EXTRA30) // This has a lot of similar elements to the first one, plus it comes in brown. You can definitely wear it all year long.

ROUND WOVEN RATTAN BAG // While I don’t own many (if any) crescent shoulder bags, I do have my eye on this one! The structure of the weave makes it look more elevated, and because of the width, I actually think you could fit a surprising amount?!

CANVAS BUCKET BAG // I’ve been really liking J.Crew Factory the past couple years. Probably the Olympia effect?! Not a lot of crossbody bags made this list, but this one looks great for the price and I like that it comes in brown as well.

TERRYCLOTH AUGUST TOTE // Technically, this one is a little over $100, but I couldn’t resist sneaking it in. The terrycloth exterior makes it a great option for water activities and the wavy trim adds some fun, though I do wish it came with one or two more interior pockets. The tote comes in two other combinations– playful pink/tangerine and nautical navy/white.

LE PILAGE COSMETICS CASE // The first time I saw someone use this as a handbag, I thought it was genius. You can’t fit much– your phone, a card case, some lip balm– but it’s still enough room for the essentials!!

MINI BOAT AND TOTE ($25!) // This is one of the two most affordable finds on the list, and the bag most obviously aligned with my personal style, ha. I scooped one up last summer and it holds WAY more than you’d expect!!

WAVE CANVAS TOTE (40% off!) // Another wavy tote bag!! I love the contrast between the cognac vegan leather and cotton canvas, and the size is just right for a laptop, making it a solid option for work in the spring and summer.

BAMBOO TOP HANDLE HANDBAG ($25!) // A bamboo handle instantly makes a bag look SO chic. Though I can’t imagine the scarf tied on it is the best quality, it’s a nice touch for such an affordable handbag.

THEA TOP HANDLE BAG // I’m not usually drawn to such a visible zipper closure, but I do think it adds something unique to a timeless, minimalist design. If you scroll down, you’ll see that it comes in a few other neutral colors!
