Autumn handbags are meant to be versatile and chic enough to dress up an outfit, even when you're wearing extra layers. I'm a huge fan of secret affordable finds, which is why I decided to dig up the coolest autumn handbag trends this season has to offer for under $150.
That's right—you don't have to be late on rent this month just to afford a handbag in this roundup. Instead, we've turned to the affordable fashion go-tos, including Zara, Urban Outfitters, and even Amazon to inform the chicest (and most monetarily practical) handbag purchases of the season. Ready to see what we found?
The Plastics
Clear plastic carryalls are the handbag trend we can't stop talking about. Use one as an Instagram prop or to prove to the world that you've got nothing to hide.
Weave the Rainbow
Straw handbags made a huge splash last summer, but the 2018 version of the straw bag is one with as many colours woven into it as possible. Adding one of these to your wardrobe will make you want a vacation ASAP.
Sporty Sacks
Fanny packs are definitely still a thing, and this autumn, we're loving ones with sports logos plastered all over them. Pro tip: Sling the pack crossbody for a cool-girl take on the trend.
Baby Beads
You know what they say—the cuter the bead, the better the season. Okay, maybe they don't say that, but I certainly do. Tiny beads in festive colours are the only thing I want to have in my hand this season.
Make It Mesh
Sometimes you need to carry many miscellaneous items at once. Why not do it in style with a chic mesh shopper? Coming in a range of patterns and colours, the best way to tote around your essentials is without a doubt in this bag.
Nothing But Net
Net fisherman bags have definitely peaked in 2018 with versions more elevated, statement-making, and attention-grabbing than ever before. But in case you're still in need of the classic style that costs literally $1, we shopped that out for you as well.
