No matter how expensive their taste in handbags, you're sure to find something that will fit your budget and make any handbag fan very happy!
Under $50: Stocking Fillers
You might not be able to get them a luxe handbag under $50, but you can get some fun accessories! Think of inside their bag: pouches to organise things inside or mini emergency / first aid kits. You can give them pieces to add to the exterior of their current handbag too, with luggage tags or bag charms. You can always get them a book relating to the brand they love, or a general fashion / handbag one. For someone who has absolutely everything, there's always the raincoat for handbags!
Under $100: Handbag Related Gifts
You might not be able to score a bag for under $100, but you can pick up a SLG (small leather good) from their favourite mid-range designer. Think key holders, coin purses and card holders! Kate Spade, Coach, Rebecca Minkoff, Furla, Sophie Hulme and Tory Burch are good brands to look at. Of course for those same designers you might have luck second hand shopping to find a used bag in this price range. See the note about second hand shopping at the end.
Under $250: Beautiful Bags For A Bigger Budget
Shopbop and Nordstrom have a wide range of bags and you might be able to score one on sale to bring it down to your budget. Wallets are a good pick at this price point. You can also look at the same mid-range designers above. Kate Spade and Rebecca Minkoff often have bags under $250, as do Madewell.
Under $500: Handbag Splurges For That Special Someone
If they've hinted, or they've outright told you they are saving up for a special bag, this would be the perfect splurge! An idea gift for a close friend or family member who you want to treat. At this price point, you could get a luxe brand like Chloe or Balenciaga second hand, or something a little smaller like a SLG brand new. You could also get a top range bag from the previously listed designers at lower price points. If you're unsure what colour to get, best to stick to a neutral colour so it easily works with the recipients wardrobe and will be a classic they can treasure for years to come.
Second Hand Shopping
Second hand shopping is a great way to find a bag they love at a price more suited to your budget. Do your due diligence on researching condition so you know exactly what signs of wear there will be on the bag of their dreams. Buying from sites like The Real Real or Fashionphile that guarantee authenticity are good ways to go too.I hope you found this list useful and it's given you some wonderful gift ideas!

LOL! I had to laugh at Gabrielle's comment earlier - she's addicted to buying purses too small to fit anything into. I can so relate to that! During Small Business Saturday, I walked around our town square and hit a lot of the non-chain merchants and saw at least 10 bags I wanted. Since I was doing Christmas shopping, I didn't get anything for myself (and no bags for anyone else, either) :( I love your suggestions for all different sizes of bags - some great gifting ideas!

ReplyDeleteNancy ♥ exquisitely.me
I still don't have any Kate Spade pieces but I admire them - so many cute options! :)
DeleteYou're my handbag guru! I just bought a lovely little Mimco clutch at the outlets - they have some great bargains! The other week I saw a gorgeous Kate Spade coin purse affair for $10 but I couldn't decided and when I went back, it had gone! Wah! I think I should treat myself to that Cath Kitson keyring to get over it! Love your picks!
ReplyDeleteOh shame the Kate Spade one was gone! I had a look in Mimco the other day, they really do have some cute pieces! :)

Fantastic guide, thank you! Second hand shopping for luxury bags is such a good idea. They're usually in pretty good nick and are generally a great price point too. (I've actually got my eye on a second hand Givenchy mini nightingale - soooo pretty - but I also want other things too! Decisions decisions haha)
