18 Designer Bags Under $1000

As you browse the below styles I’ve curated, remember that you can also look at designer resale sites like The RealReal, Vestiare Collective and Fashionphile for like-new and lightly used designer goods.

I also love browsing the Shopbop Archive to see what gems they have.

Loewe Small Leather Trimmed Raffia Tote

My most used summer bag is this chic and understated bag that captures the spirit of a summer spent on France’s cote d’azur. It is perfectly sized to hold all of your daily essentials.

Loewe Paula’s Ibiza Tote

Another great over the shoulder tote bag perfect for styling all summer long with your favorite summer dresses.

Demellier New York Leather Tote

These brands have the vibes of Celine or Saint Laurent but are much more an attainable price point. DeMellier’s ‘New York’ tote has been handcrafted in Southern Spain using traditional techniques. It’s made using textured-leather in a softly folded shape and features tubular handles that will sit comfortably in the crook of your arm or over your shoulder. There’s more than enough space inside for your wallet, sunglasses case and latest read.

Demellier Santorini Bag

Less money than Loewe straw totes and yet super chic, the Demellier Santorini bag comes in a variety of colors.

Demellier Paris Top Tote Bag

This bag looks like it comes from a French luxury label and yet it is under $600. The cognac is on my own personal wish list.

Demellier Vancouver Crossbody Bag

Similar in style to my Celine Box bag but a fraction of the price, the DeMellier’s ‘Vancouver’ shoulder bag comes in a variety of leather and raffia and  leather or canvas and leather in a structured shape.

These crossbody bags fasten with the signature double arrow-shaped clasp that matches the gold-tone hardware at the top.

Demellier Tokyo Leather Shoulder Bag

This bag feels reminiscent of Saint Laurent’s iconic shoulder bags but I acrtually prefer it because it doesn’t have the big emblazoned YSL logo. 

Gucci GG Marmont Super Mini Shoulder Bag

This clocks in at just under $1000 and is a super mini so you won’t be able to fit much but it is perfectly minimalist so it’ll age well.

Jacquemus Le Bambino Bag

Jacquemus’ shows always feature a curation of the French designer’s much-adored bags and the ‘Le Bambino’ top handle bag design is arguably their most recognizable. It is made from hand-selected leather and has a single card slot at the back.

Jacquemus makes some of the most attainable French luxury price point designer bags available. 

Saint Laurent Calypso Clutch

Understated yet luxurious this clutch is made from supple leather padded for pillowy softness. It’s sized for just the essentials and punctuated with a gold-tone logo plaque. Perfect for dressed up or dressed down outfits.

Saint Laurent Uptown Pouch

This pouch fits everything you need for an evening out. It’s been made in Italy from textured-leather and decorated with the iconic ‘YSL’ hardware in gold hardware. 

Dragon Diffusion

They make super cool woven bags. Their Bamboo Triple Jump is what put the label on the map.

Neous Phoenix Suede Clutch

This brand makes super luxe feeling accessories when it comes to bag and shoes. Their sleek suede baguette clutch is a favorite.

Toteme T-Lock Clutch

As seen on so many it girls the past two seasons. I fear it won’t be under $1000 for much longer. Choose from suede or leather for under $1000 or splurge for the croc that will be a higher price point.

Chloe Marcie Clutch Bag in Grained Leather

The moment I spotted this timeless and understated classic I added it to my own personal wish list. 

Mansur Gavriel Cabas Tote

Mansur Gavriel was first made famous for their tote bags and their new Cabas tote bucket bag is the newest style making headlines. I bought it as it was a fraction of the price of the similar The Row style I had my eye on.

Staud

Staud is one of my favorite fashion labels for both clothing and their well-made bags that are always on-trend.

A.P.C.

A.P.C’s French bags have cult-like status with Parisian girls and I like the Grace Bag in particular.

Are Designer Bags Worth It?

If you’re a fashion fan and love to make a statement with your accessories, designer bags are absolutely worth it. I think it is best to buy them in neutral colors you won’t tire of. Doing so also ensures better resale value in my experience.
