The 10 Best Fall Bags Under $150 (Even If You Have Expensive Taste)

This classic black bag can be worn two ways—crossbody or as a clutch—thanks to the detachable strap. The sturdy build and shape allow enough room to hold all of your essentials without veering into giant tote territory (not that there’s anything wrong with a good tote). "This bag is perfect as it can be dressed up or be very casual," says one shopper. "The leather is soft, and it is comfortable to carry."

This Aldo model is a bit smaller in size, if you prefer something a little less bulky. The magnetic flap closure secures your items in the bag, and the gold metal hardware is oh-so chic. I also love the Aldo logo in the front, which adds some extra flair to a basic black crossbody.

This color is too perfect for fall outfits, and it even transitions nicely into winter. With minimal embellishments and a streamlined shape, it’s a small yet ideal style to hold your wallet and smaller essentials. Shoppers also love its efficiency, with one writing, "I've been looking for a small, high-quality black leather crossbody bag that could work for everyday or a special event, and this is the one! And I love the giant gold buckle! Sign me up!"

Pop this lululemon City Essentials bag on your shoulder to stand out in the crowd. It has plenty of space for your must-have daily items, and you can even slip a pair of gloves in the back zipper pocket when it gets a little chillier. "Love this bag! It's a great size, and I love the gold buckle!" While I'm fond of this Bay Leaf green color, there are seven other fun shades to choose from, so have at it.

The trendy woven style is everywhere these days (consider it the trickle-down effect of Bottega Veneta's popularity), and I've gotta say I love the style, as it is versatile and works with many outfits in your closet. There's a magnetic closure for extra security, plus two interior pockets you can take advantage of for extra room. Not to mention, there's plenty of space available, making it the perfect carry-on in my book.

Planning your fall outfits? Make room for this large tote, which has tons of space for your laptop, notebook and everything in between. Outside of the office, this sizeable style is ideal for those of us who overload our purses with all of those “just in case” items. Did I mention it comes in five colors?

This Italian leather clutch comes perfectly woven and provides plenty of styling options, as you can carry it as a clutch or attach the strap for the ultimate crossbody look. In fact, one buyer calls it the perfect little bag, writing, "I adore this bag style so much. It holds all the essentials and is slim and classy. I love the security of the design also. The woven leather is a timeless style." The only downside? Choosing between four gorgeous colors…

This guy is big enough for your day-to-day essentials (iPad or laptop included), as it clocks in at 14 inches by 16 inches. It also keeps its shape, according to buyers. "Perfect for travel, on the go and work," raves one shopper, who adds, "The large capacity lets me carry all my items in one bag." Another echoes similar sentiments, writing, "Minimalist gorgeous leather bag great for carrying a work laptop and a portfolio to and from the office." My only beef? That there are no extra pockets or zippered compartments.

Many stadiums and arenas have strict rules for purses, but this small, see-through crossbody will ensure you’re in the clear—literally, as it's made from waterproof and cold-proof PVC, and features an adjustable shoulder strap. There is plenty of space for your cards, cellphone and sunglasses, and there are three colors to choose from, each of which will match perfectly with your concert fit.

The gold ring handle and beaded design on this bag scream luxury. Not only is it sleek, but I love how small it is to hold only what you need for a special night out (I.E., your phone, wallet, keys and key cards). Not that I've already started planning my New Year's Eve fits, but this is definitely going to be my bag for ringing in 2026.
