Shoulder Bags
Hey bag lovers, welcome to my Shoulder Bag Haven! Whether you're a fan of sleek leather, trendy crossbody, or spacious tote bags, I've curated a collection that's sure to make your heart skip a beat.
Firstly, the leather is amazing. It’s gorgeous and soft and the most perfect shade in my humble opinion. Now, yes this is a small bag, but my daily carry is the Jacquemus le bambino so I actually had no issue transferring everything into this bag.
COACH - Jonie Bag
I have only had this bag for a few months, but it has been one of my most worn in the time I have had it and I wanted to share what I think of it so far! Because this is a fairly new model for Coach, it had next to no reviews when I purchased it, but...
COACH - Mira Shoulder Bag With Quilting
Elisabetta Franchi - Not so famous brand, however very durable and functional. I have this bag for quite some time now and I have been wairing it often. It did not change its form. While they come with a higher prica tag, their quality make them wort...
Large hobo bag in jacquard raffia
I have this bag and oh my gosh I love it! Mine is in color"Cloud White". I have purchased it 5 month ago and It’s really nice quality, the leather is smooth and the chain strap is so shiny and gorgeous!! I definitely recommend.
Marc Jacobs - The Curve Bag
I have this bag in ecru and I love it! Great size, holds wallet, phone and sunglasses. You can adjust the tie part to be loose for easy access without needing to untie it or tighter for more security.
Mini Bow Bag / Cuyana
Exactly as pictured. This bag is well made and super cute. It fits your phone and everything you need, but it is still small enough for a night out. It’s perfect!
Amazon / Joy Shoulder Bag
If you’re into the idea of a multi bag and if you’re able to get your hands on the Louis Vuitton Multi Pochette Accessoires, you should. It’s incredibly stylish and easy to wear, it looks cool with most outifits, even a simple sneaker look.
LOUIS VUITTON / Rose Clair
Absolutely gorgeous bag. I love that it comes with 2 straps - a short one to attach for a shorter shoulder bag, and a long one to attach for crossbody bag. It is a perfect size to carry all of your essentials. If you are interested to purchase your f...
Prada Arqué Leather Shoulder Bag
When it comes to aesthetics, this bag gets a big fat 5 out of 5 from me. The Le 5 à 7 bag is simple in silhouette overall, with clean, classic lines. A sleek ’90s-esque shoulder bag that is right on trend, the focal point of the bag is the bold, unmi...
Net-A-Porter / Saint Laurent trimmed raffia shoulder bag
I purchased the beige color and it’s such a pretty color. The zipper is really nice quality too and opens so smoothly. I like that it isn’t a deep purse so I’m also able to see all my stuff when I unzip the purse. The strap is comfortable and it sits...
Amazon | JW PEI Women's Eva Shoulder Handbag
Over-the-shoulder Bags
"Attention, fashionistas! Welcome to my realm of Over-the-Shoulder Elegance. If you're like me and believe that a bag is more than just a practical accessory but a style statement, then you're in the right place. From sleek crossbodies to chic hobos,...
I have only had this bag for a couple of months so I feel I cannot truly speak to the longevity of the bag, but the quality does feel impeccable. The leather has, by far, the best feeling of any in my contemporary designer range. It is pebbled, yet f...
COACH - Tabby Shoulder Bag
Is Marc Jacobs cool? Yes. Was I immune to the obsessive cult following of this glorious bag? No. It comes in four sizes. My ideal size, and the one I went for was the mini. I own the canvas one. I purchased it back in 2021.
Marc Jacobs - The Leather Small Tote Bag
I do not own this bag, but it is on my Wishlist. This comes in two sizes the J Marc shoulder bag and the Mini J Marc shoulder bag. Both bags are made from soft leather, they have a detachable chain and logo-woven webbing straps that you can wear in d...
Marc Jacobs - The J Marc Saddle Bag
It is on my Wishlist. It is affordable and I really like how colors complement each other.
Leather Canvas Crossbody Bag
Mini and cute. Color is trendy and it is my Shopping Cart at the moment.
H&M Straw Crossbody Bag
This is my first Tory Burch handbag and I absolutely love it. I have the black one. It arrived neatly packaged and was as described. The mini size is perfect for basics - phone keys and there are built in slots for your ID and credit cards. The quilt...
Tory Burch - Kira Diamond Quilt Leather Wallet
It is well made and roomy for a small purse. The strap is long enough for a crossbody.
Amazon / Crafts Round Rattan Bag
I love this purse it's the perfect size not to big or small and so much fits in it. Great dupe!
Walmart | Large Canvas the Tote Crossbody Handbag
It is the perfect size for me. I can fit wallet, phone, women's supplies, other small incidentals. Just so nice. I love the design the color and the softness of the bag.
H&M | Coated Crossbody Bag
At first I was afraid it wasn't large enough but now that I have used it for a month I am loving the size. Sometimes purses are so deep it is hard to find what you are looking for, but when you open this purse it is all right there for easy access.
Crossbody Straw Bag - Light beige/brown - Ladies
Love love the quality and look of this product. Looks very rich and stunning.
Orla Weave Handbag
Absolutely love this saddle bag, affordable, very chic, light weight, holds a decent amount of items, the quality is beautiful.
Ashlie Crossbody Bag
A perfect little handbag and it stands up by itself! Just the right size.
Oh-So Chic Bone Buckle Shoulder Bag
Handbags
Hey fashion-forward friends, step into my Handbag Haven.
One more Tote Dupe that is really good. Never enough of these kind of bags. It comes in three patterns. It is H&M and is on the affordable side.
H&M Cotton-blend Tote Bag
H&M strikes again! Beautiful crossbody bag in braided plastic straw with details in coated fabric.
H&M Crossbody Straw Bag
The Small Tory Burch Tote is a great buy. I have it in beige but I really like this one as well. It looks good with anything I wear and holds all my stuff without feeling bulky.
Tory Burch / Tote Bag
This bag gives me Chanel vibies. If you love lightweight quality nylon bags like Longchamp and Tory’s iconic Ella Tote, you will love this Ella with the chain strap! Everything fits perfectly and she is pretty striking and goes with any casual or bus...
Tory Burch Ella Chain Tote
This bag is on my Whishlist since my colleague got it. It's sturdy and stylish.
TOM FORD Small Amalfi Tote Bag
Spacious and well made. Love the color, goes well with everything.
Amazon / Tote Bag Puffer Handbag
Beautiful, quality bag! Perfect for as a carry on for traveling or a pool/beach tote! I have been eyeing this for a few years and my husband bought it as a gift for me. I thought it was going to be too large, but it’s about the size of a Neverfull.
Chloé US Large Woody Basket
Love this little straw bag. The best feature is the closure. Nothing falls out when the drawstring is closed.
Amazon / Flower Pearls Rattan Tote Bag
It's a cute bag. Great feel to it as well since the material is both soft and smooth.
Amazon / Top-Handle Bag
Versatile, comfortable to carry, well made, enough space for the essentials. It makes me feel pretty. :)
Shopbop / The Josie Knot Bag
Gorgeous bag! The bag is well made with quality material and it is a goldilocks not too big not too small size. It is raffia and so it has a fresh hay kind of scent which isn't offputting but it is there. You will want to be careful not to get it wet...
J.Crew / Small raffia ruffle-hem bag
I am the type of person to spend months waffling over a purchase–in this case, so much so that I ran out of time before they sold out last summer. I have been SO pleased with this bag. Even though there are a million basket bags out there, I find thi...
Prada / Raffia And Leather Bag
I am big fan of this bag. Love both colors! Beautiful and great price point!
Everything But Water | Sonya Mini Hobo Handbag
Perfect gym bag!! Material is sturdy and the color is beautiful.
Free People | Surplus Shine Carryall Bag
I got this as a gift from my friend and I adore it. She’s petite, and it’s just the right size to be mini, yet functional. The coral color is bright and reads as red.
Anthropologie | Day to Night Raffia Handbag
I’m a little bit of a bag snob, but when I saw this bag I had to have it. For the price I wasn’t expecting much, but I can’t say enough times how beautiful this bag is!
Amazon | CHQEL Evening Clutch Bag
I have been looking for a cute and also practical hospital bag for so long. Found this mommy bag and I am obsessed with it! I like neutral colors and the one I got is just what I was looking for.
Amazon | CHQEL Diaper Bag Tote with 2
I love this bag! It's so soft and creamy and the pocket space in the interior is enough for a phone and some basics. The brand name is imprinted on one side. The handlebar is so easy to grip and hold.
Anthropologie | Simon Miller Lopsy Bag
So cute and unique. Good quality.
Anthropologie | Top-Handle Rattan Bali Bag
Beautiful and so cute bag. They make an instant ‘streetwear’ statement and would take any outfit to that next level. Jacquemus is an affordable luxury alternative to high end brands that are charging more money for less quality. I believe the Jacquem...
Shopbop | Jacquemus Le Bambino Bag
I love carrying unique purses and this bucket is perfect for the summer. It's very cute.
Sézane | Mini farrow Raphia Bucket - Natural Raffia
Perfect for poolside! Looks just like photo.
Sézane | Justine Basket - Deep natural navy raffia
It's a great shape, cool finish, and holds a lot more than most evening bags.
Pearl-effect clutch bag | MANGO USA
Dupes 🤫
Welcome to my Budget-Friendly Bag Collection! If you love the look of designer bags but prefer to save some cash, you're in luck. I've scoured the shelves to find the best bag dupes that capture the style of your favorite luxury brands without breaki...
This H&M is so beautiful, I love the light faux leather details, and it’s undeniably the closest dupe I have found to the Loewe last season. It’s also the least expensive! If you have a hard time matching brown and prefer something less contrasti...
H&M - Straw Bag/ Loewe Bag
While it can’t be argued that this is an inexpensive alternative, it is really high quality. Coach has been stepping up their game a lot and releasing so many cute handbag styles. This is no exception. It comes in whopping 9 colors, including white, ...
COACH-Sutton Crossbody/ Prada Nylon Bag
I’ll admit lime green may not be a color you have seen me rock that often. Or ever. But it is really trendy, and if you are one of those people who loves their pops of color I would look into this bag. I adore the shape of it, it has that classic Pra...
Who What Wear Seeley 90s shoulder bag in lime croc / Prada Nylon
I lovelovelove the shape of this one. You can add a chain strap if you want it cross body. I think the quilted faux leather makes it a bit more different than a standard dupe.
French Connection Quilted 90's Baguette Shoulder Bag / Prada Nylon
Okay, one more from French Connection. This is essentially the same bag, but with a mock croc finish. If you want an edgier bag than the cream colored one above, I would definitely take a look at this one.
French Connection Faux Leather Croc 90's Baguette Shoulder Bag / Prada Nylon
Confession: I love the Dior book tote. It could be argued it’s the most expensive “bag for life” canvas tote bag you’ll ever buy. However, my desperation must have been heard to the high heavens because more and more high street dupes have fallen int...
H&M Jute-blend shopper/ Dior Book Tote
The cutest little bag! I love that this comes with a crossbody strap as well. There are two sizes and this is mini. Thinking I may need both sizes because they could serve different purposes.
MANGO - Embroidered Mini Bag/ Dior Book Tote
It is faux leather, but very inexpensive and reasonably roomy. If the straps annoy you (I found it a bit cheap feeling), just cut them off! It comes in black as well.
HM - Soft shoulder bag/ Bottega veneta the pouch bag
I love this cute clutch bag from ASOS. It has a zipper closure at the top and comes in a lot of different colors. It is faux leather, but stands at a nice price of £17.50 $. It comes in these colors: white, olive, black, brown.
ASOS DESIGN oversized ruched clutch bag in beige/ Bottega Veneta the pouch bag
The most affordable one! This woven bag from Topshop checks a lot of the boxes for being a great dupe: it’s inspired but not a copy, it’s a great (great!) price for testing the style, it’s accessible, functional. It comes and goes out of stock. Good ...
ASOS leather and suede weave crossbody bag / Bottega Veneta Cassette Bag
Pouches
I’ve found some gorgeous pouches that I just had to share.
This is the perfect key accessories. Perfect for quick simple errands and on way to never lose your keys.
Lululemon / Dual Pouch Wristlet
Backpacks
Lately, I've stumbled upon some truly standout backpacks that I can't wait to share.
Soft, easy to wear, lightweight. Perfect amount of compartments. I even washed it on delicate and it came out perfect.
