Every fashion person knows that a great handbag ties together a look. But securing a high-quality designer handbag can add up with many options going from several hundreds of dollars to thousands and thousands. While I'm all for putting together a great look, I try to find alternatives to higher-budget luxury bags. I regularly spend countless hours scrolling through the internet's handbag offerings, and many affordable options have caught my attention time and time again. I've dug through these websites and curated a selection of beautiful designer handbags for about $300 or less.
Ahead you'll find top picks from your favorite designer brands including (but not limited to) Ganni, Kate Spade, Coach, Tory Burch, Staud, and so much more. Shop handbag styles for every occasion from low-key clutches to the quirky miniature bag styles. There's something for every kind of bag lover and all at such an affordable price point.
Coach's viral Brooklyn bag comes in a smaller 28-inch size that I feel is bound to become just as popular as the larger version.
The spoon handle is the unique touch that keeps me coming back to Puppets.

For some reason, Ssense has this bag discounted when it costs at least $90 more on other sites.
Fashion people are obsessing over this color for fall and winter.
Okay, so this bag isn't exactly $300, but for a handcrafted, sculptural masterpiece, I think it's worth a few extra dollars.
I personally believe a little dose of Ganni is great for dopamine levels.
I'm a big fan of any and all stud detailing.
Can you believe this is made with turkey feathers?
A great everyday bag.
Don't you love it when a bag gives off cool vibes? This one does that for me.
