New season, new bag! As we adjust to the changing weather, we're taking stock of our closets. A major purge of our wardrobes is underway, and that means new sweaters, new shoes and (of course) new purses. With a slew of options on the market, it can be hard to know where to start. Allow Us to help you out!

The first thing to consider is the budget that you're working with. Obviously, times are tough and not everyone has the money to splurge on a high-end designer bag at the moment. You can always save up if you have a specific holy grail bag in mind and eventually treat yourself, but there are so many other great designer options out there that simply aren't as expensive.

That's precisely why we wanted to give our shoppers plenty of options that fall into different price ranges. There's no need to take out a second mortgage and scoop up a Chanel bag. There are plenty of amazing offerings that truly won't break the bank! Besides, many of the below retailers offer interest-free payment services like Klarna or Afterpay if you're looking to space out your payments. Above all, it's crucial to remember that many brands charge a premium because of their name recognition. We've looked beyond that to find the best deals!

Swinger 20 — $150 at Coach!

Allsaints Edbury Leather Shoulder Bag — $349 at Nordstrom!

There's a good chance you aren't browsing for yourself here. We feel that the price points we lined out are fitting for a nice and thoughtful gift. If that's the case, we've selected the following bags based on different styles and purposes. Whether you're in the market to upgrade your current collection or you're looking to impress someone special in your life, we've got you covered! If you have a friend's birthday coming up or want to get a gift for mom just because she deserves it, one of these bestselling purses will surely make their day. From the aspiring influencer to the most practical shopper around, there's something for everyone in the round-up below.

Scouring the sale section from any retailer is the obvious move here, but we decided to highlight classic styles that won't look dated after just one season of regular use. While they are full of surprise steals, sale sections tend to be flooded with items that were trendy at one point, but are now discounted to make room for the season's new styles. We filtered our searches to adhere to our price ranges, and also made sure that they will go the distance in the style department as well. Whether you're returning to the office and searching for a bag that can transport your everyday essentials or you're hoping to make a splash with a designer clutch at a family function, look no further. We've done the dirty work for you by exploring some of the world's most beloved retailers in order to compose this list. Keep reading — and always remember to secure the bag!
