18 Fall Handbags Under $100 That Actually Look Far More Expensive

This is how you carry summer’s tie-dye trend into fall. Literally.

The combination of smooth and croc-embossed leather and the elegant trapeze shape is what makes this tote look infinitely more expensive than it is.

You may already own a chic brown crossbody, but it’s the elongated U-shape of this beauty that sets it apart from all the others.

For those who prefer a totally hands-free approach, this backpack is sleek enough for a trek to the office and it can fit all your workout gear for a post-workday run.

Excellent for grocery runs, beach days, picnics in the park and toting around all your kid’s snacks—without sacrificing style.

Zebra stripes may evoke images of a hot, sunny safari, but they’ll also go perfectly with all your dark-hued winter staples (like black denim or a burgundy knit) for an extra pop of fun.

The summery bamboo handle and autumnal green leather balance each other out to make one timeless handbag.

You’ll be seeing many more of this slouchy, cloud-like handbags over the next year thanks to the rise of the Bottega Veneta pouch. Lucky for us, this woven variation (which also comes with a chain strap if you prefer to go hands-free) is 98 percent cheaper, but every bit as trendy.

This ‘90s-style shoulder bag is yet another super popular silhouette going into fall/winter. And while black patent leather may feel a little too dressed up for some, the tortoise-shell links on the strap help it feel much more day-appropriate.

Just big enough to fit your phone, credit card and keys. Because really, what else do you need for grocery store and coffee shop runs?

OK, so this adorable mini is exactly $100, not under $100, but we think the combination of traditional fall colors, woven raffia and quasi-triangular shape make this well worth that extra buck (plus tax).

Stick a Wet One packet in the inside pocket, so you’re always prepared to clean up any sudden scuff marks or red-wine spills. That way you’ll keep this cutie looking fresh and new…all the way into 2021.

This ice-blue shade looks like a winter dream when worn with cream-colored knits or a gray silk slip skirt.

We advise you hop on the Beyoncé-inspired cow-print trend now. FYI, this trend is only going to get bigger and bigger as we head into cooler weather.

You can never go wrong with a little black handbag, especially one with a bold gold handle and swooping geometric flap.
