Deals on Bags

Friends & Family sales are my favorite kind of sale ever. Instead of picking a group of merchandise from the site and giving it a uniform discount, the retailer hands the pricing gun over to its customers and lets us mark down things as we see fit. It’s the best opportunity to get exactly what you want at a discount, and since in-season pieces are included, it’s stuff you can start using immediately instead of putting it aside for when the weather changes.

For reasons that should be entirely obvious to anyone who shops online regularly, the ShopBop Friends & Family Sale is one of our very favorites. ShopBop stocks such an enormous array of pieces, though, that deciding what you want in a timely fashion (before everything good sells out!) can be a little daunting. That’s why we’ve done the work for you. If it’s accessories you’re looking for, we’ve already found the best of the best, all of which can be had for 20% off the listed prices via ShopBop with the code INTHEFAMILY20. → Read More

Because I live in the world of high end designer accessories, it is easy for me to get blinded by price tags. Under $600 is a great price for a quality bag for me, but for many others $600 is rent.

Finding a truly cute accessory that doesn’t cost a fortune is hard, but it is not impossible. J.Crew proves that with their Striped Canvas Clutch, which is just in time for warm weather. → Read More

I love posting about the amazing sales, deals, and events that happen in New York City. Of course it’s great for me and all others who can make it to NYC with ease, but I know that so many of you are bummed about missing out because of where you live. Not only do I have amazing news for all handbag lovers, but this news is for handbag lovers EVERYWHERE.
Heritage Auctions, the largest collectibles auctioneer and third largest auction house in the world, has just announced the launch of Heritage Vintage, weekly online sales that consist of 15-20 vintage designer pieces – and get this – the prices start at $1 each.

These incredible weekly auctions will include at least one Hermes Birkin or Hermes Kelly in every auction. But if you aren’t in the market for Hermes, don’t despair. You’ll also find vintage Chanel, Gucci, and Balenciaga – all starting at $1. This is such an awesome opportunity, you could bid on and win a covetable designer accessory for an amazing price. → Read More

For those of you who may not know me, I’d like to introduce myself. I’m Hilary, PurseBlog’s newest employee, and I have a Kate Spade addiction. It started at age 13: my first designer bag was a black Kate Spade nylon tote. From there, it spiraled and I’ve had pieces from most of Spade’s collections and I’ve worn my black Kate Spade kitten heels to every job interview I’ve been to since college.

You can only imagine my excitement when I realized that today, the Kate Spade Sample Sale begins (it’s like a holiday!). Up to 75% off of bags, wallets, accessories and even the highly covetable ready-to-wear collection. Hurry, though – the sale only lasts through Wednesday!

Ahh…President’s Day. So many sales, so little time. Here’s one worth checking out – Tory Burch has put the whole site on sale (read: bags, shoes, accessories & clothing – need I go on??). The more you spend, the more you save, which means now is a great time to stock up on all those Tory Burch must-haves for Spring.

Get 20% off $250, 25% off $500 or 30% off orders of $750 or more with code PRESDAY at ToryBurch.com, thru Monday, 2/20!

These are the images we’ve been waiting to see for what seems like years (but has actually only been months) – the Jason Wu x Target lookbook is here! And for once, at long last, the handbags that have resulted from this collection aren’t utter crap. Leave it to Mr. Wu to finally do right by the accessories lovers in the audience.

The lookbook, which can be found in its entirety after the jump, features 16 full looks, 10 handbags and three cute square scarves. Some of the bags, like an oatmeal-colored canvas tote, are pretty standard, while a few of them (most notably a cream and black satchel and a north-south tote emblazoned with the image of the little black cat who inspired the collection) are standouts. The best part? Nothing in the collection will retail for more than $49.99. The collection launches at Target stores nationwide on February 5. → Read More

We know that today is the first real day back to work for many of you and you probably have a ton of stuff you’re supposed to be doing right now, but by the very virtue of you seeing this post, we know that you’re not doing it. Time to drop that charade, don’t you think? Well, we have a way for you to even further embrace your workplace procrastination – shopping, duh.

Net-a-Porter’s end-of-season sale is ongoing, as you all know, but perhaps you didn’t know this – the site has taken another 20% off of mark downs as of this morning, which means that those shoes or that bag that you were eyeing last week might be still there and even cheaper than you remember. Check it out, but if you spend all your money, don’t say we didn’t warn you.

Sorting through the miasma of after-Christmas sales is difficult, no matter whether you’re trying to do it in person or via the Internet while you’re supposed to be working. (It’s your boss’s own fault for not giving you an extra day off.) That’s where your friendly neighborhood bloggers come in – I spent yesterday wading through the debris of the holiday season to find you the best deals on the bags that you might actually want to buy and carry.

This season’s sales are particularly heavy on contemporary bags, so if you’re looking for a new accessory under $500, you’re in luck. We have a few from premier designers as well (including a Balenciaga that I love), but this is the time of year to really score on the lower end of the designer price spectrum. Check out all of our picks after the jump! → Read More
