40 designer bags you can get for under $400
While visions of designer bags like the Fendi Baguette, Gucci’s Marmont, and the Chloé Tess haunt our dreams, reality never seizes to come crashing down in the form of student loans, rent, and bills.
For designer bags and wallets that won’t (majorly) break the bank, check out these 40 styles under $400. We mean, a Marc Jacobs Snapshot bag is basically a form of self-care, isn’t it?
Tote bags under $400
Roomy, chill, and practical: the tote bag is our trusty companion on the morning commute, at the airport, and everything in between. For the best affordable designer totes under $400, we love Dragon Diffusion‘s woven pieces.

Clutches under $400
A going-out staple, the clutch bag has recently made its way back into fashion. The 2024 clutch is slouchy, oversized, and carried lovingly under your arm. We’re loving LaDoubleJ and Loeffler Randall for pillow-like clutches, and Cult Gaia for sculptural, jewel bags.
