Nine West Mina Leather Satchel

Here’s another inexpensive bag that looks as if it should cost you an arm and a leg. The Nine West ‘Mina’ Leather Satchel is a lovely bag that’ll go well with any ensemble.

The Nine West ‘Mina’ Leather Satchel measures at 14.5″L x 11″H x 5″D and comes with a removable strap so you can carry it on your shoulder. The interior of the satchel is lined in what looks like, pink cotton lining. The pink gives this bag a fun contrast.

Miu Miu Soft Leather Tote

I can’t help but drool over this gorgeous Miu Miu Soft Leather Tote! It just screams spring doesn’t it? The lovely seafoam green of this Miu Miu bag would be perfect for bright, sunny spring days.

What makes this Miu Miu Soft Leather Tote even more drool-worthy is the purple interior lining! I love it when handbags interiors are done in an unexpected print or eye-catching colour. The purple and seafoam green compliment each other very well. The Miu Miu Soft Leather Tote features gold hardware, zipped interior pocket and detachable shoulder strap. You can get this now at Net-A-Porter for $1350

Versace Logo Jacquard Hobo

I really like this Versace bag. Although the ivory coloured jacquard fabric has the Versace signature Grecian key, it’s subtle not gaudy as some logo-ed handbags tend to be. Paired with grained metallic leather trim and gold hardware this Versace Logo Jacquard Hobo looks very elegant and classy.   Available now at eLuxury for $1590

MICHAEL Michael Kors Drawstring Astor Satchel

The Drawstring Astor Satchel from Michael Kors is a great handbag. The Vanilla shade would make a fab spring/summer bag; it’ll compliment all ensembles from dresses to suits. The Michael Kors Drawstring Astor Satchel is made of grained leather with top-stitching and silver studs. The flat leather handles allow for easy carrying either on the crook of your arm, shoulder or hand-held. The signature MK medallion is detachable and the drawstring top also has a magnetic closure. The generous size of this bag, 16″ x 12″ x 8″, will allow room for all the essentials us gals love to lug around.  Fabulously priced at $398 at eLuxury

This Mayle bag makes such a cute shoulder bag, perfect to take a long on a date or party. The Mayle ‘Jeanne’ Bag is definitely not a boring bag. I like the gold chain link handle and charm detail on the front, it compliments the smooth top-stitched grained leather very well. The interior has a patch pocket and it’s lined in suede. Great little bag for the price! $495 at eLuxury

Calvin Klein ‘Pebble’ Large Hobo bag has such a simple but elegant design. The ‘Smoke’ colour of the pebbled leather is just right and will go with lots of outfits. This bag has a nice shape and I like the decorative silver hardware.  Originally $248, it’s on sale now for only $148 at Macys.

More bags under $500 after the fold…
