5 Fall Handbags Worth The High Price Tag

I’ll be the first to admit that even if you may want a new handbag every season, you don’t actually need one. I have a few wonderful handbags that I love, but I only upgrade when necessary. The great thing about spending a decent amount of money on a beautiful and durable handbag means that it will last you for years to come.

So, before breaking into our top 5 fall handbags, I want to give you a few tips and things to think about before you start shopping:

1. Think about what you really want before you start shopping for a fall handbag you know you will be investing a lot of money in.  This way you won’t be easily persuaded by hot trends.
2. Keep in mind classic colors and silhouettes.
3. Think practical.

5 Fall Handbags We Covet–And Are Worth Every Penny!

1. Michael Kors Selma Large Quilted Satchel

Price: $398

Why it’s worth it: Quilted handbags are big right now, and aren’t going out of style anytime soon! It is such a fun texture to add to your fall handbag collection and is chic and classy enough to literally wear everyday. The strap is adjustable and there are many pockets inside for [trying] to organize all of your mommy stuff! It has a very roomy interior and will instantly take your style up a notch.

 

2. Burberry Primrose Check Satchel

Price: $1395

Why it’s worth it: Ok, so I’m a little partial to Burberry because my husband bought me a beautiful one as my push gift, six years ago whenever I gave birth to Branden–but this one is fabulous regardless! It is a wonderfully large size, and made from their signature coated canvas–leaving you not as worried about wear and tear since it can be mended. The straps are detachable, so if you need a hands free moment, there is a beautiful shoulder strap tucked inside. Lastly, nothing says class more than their iconic check pattern!

3. Alexander McQueen Studded Hexagon Clutch

Price: $1795

Why it’s worth it: So you are probably thinking, “Why the hell does she have a clutch on this list?” I do have my reasons…promise! I recently started adding clutches into my handbag wardrobe again, and I’m not looking back! But the key is it needs to be a unique, over-sized clutch like this one to make the cut. They are wonderful for moments whenever you have time away from your kiddos and time off from mommy duty, and they instantly take simple skinny jeans and a tee to a new level. Plus, this is an Alexander McQueen–what else do you want me to say?

4. Stella McCartney Baby Bella Shoulder Bag

Price: $1195

Why it’s worth it: Just looking at the color of this faux, vegan leather bag makes me think of fall (though it does come in a wide variety of colors). The faux suede exterior or a shimmery variety, gives it a little extra something, and the chain link detail that outlines the entire bag is very eye catching. It is large in size, which to me instantly means that it can hold all of my “junk.” It is fully lined, so will last you ages, and has a nifty magnetic closure at the top so your “mom brain” doesn’t always need to make sure you have closed your bag up!

5. Diane von Furstenberg Surta Bold Pebbled Leather Satchel

Price: $545

Why it’s worth it: If you read here regularly, or you are a friend of mine in real life, you often hear me saying “add a pop of color!” That is what this bag is all about! Yes, this beautiful pebbled leather is a bit on the bold side, but let’s face it–you have been carting around a colorful diaper bag, right? It’s time for a major upgrade! This leather is soft, and it has a classy silhouette that will last you many years and seasons to come. It’s truly an everyday bag so you will get your money’s worth in that sense, plus the many details in the pockets, interior, and fun signature Diane kiss on the tag makes it even more special.
