Hi, I love my handbags but just can’t justify spending over £200-£500 or even more with new trend that comes around. So I’m on the look out good quality handbags that won’t break the bank. Thank you

I love shopping at designer outlets for this reason as you’ll get quality bags for under £200. I bought a Kate spade tote style handbag and purse for under £130 at their outlet. Keep an eye out for extra discount on top. I also find tk maxx a good place for multitude of brands. Kurt Geiger/carvela have been good to me too. Debenhams used to do great quality for good prices, jasper conran in particular.

I agree. I adore a handbag but also can’t justify buying expensive bags frequently. I have just splurged on one from DeMellier though and I’m looking forward to it arriving! My view is buy fewer but buy well. I try to avoid anything too fashion led and opt for classics that will last years. Also love the idea of upcycling / buying second hand but not sure the sites I’ve seen are that great yet. Feels like an untapped opportunity

Another vote from me for DeMellier, I have had my eye on The Midi New York style for some time and it has recently become so popular. It such a chic and understated style for under £500.

The Uniform is great for classic, minimalist styles, with plenty of styles around the £200 mark.

the high street have some really great bags right now for even under £100.
Zara, Mango, Cos & Arket have great classic styles.
I also really love shopping pre-loved, especially on vestiare collective and have previously bought bags from Ganni and Prada for under £200/300. It sometimes requires a bit of a hunt but its always worth it. x

I think Russell and Bromley do great quality, current and classic, lifelong lasting bags!

In my experience, they also seem to hold their value and are well sort after on the pre-loved market should you decide to buy second hand or in fact get rid of any you buy in future.
I love pre-loved and the hunt and while it does require a level of patience that not everyone has, it’s so worth it when you find that gem!!
