Although you may regularly turn to Amazon for items like shapewear and sunglasses, those aren’t the only accessories worth checking out. Amazon has a ton of high-quality handbags, including totes, crossbody bags, satchels, and so much more. Plus, there are plenty of new and pre-loved designer bags from brands like Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Prada—we’ve even spotted a Birkin or two— to be found in Amazon’s luxury storefront.

“Evening clutches, work totes, and trend items are great to purchase on Amazon,” notes Samantha Brown, a New York City-based personal stylist behind the styling service Samantha Brown Style. “You can also find items like a feathered evening clutch with a sparkly clasp for a very reasonable price point.”

No matter which kind of purse you’re craving and what kind of occasion it’ll be used for, Amazon likely has an option for you. Best of all, many bags are under $100, yet have hundreds (or even thousands!) of five-star reviews from shoppers raving about their versatility, attractive designs, and so much more. 

Even better? Tons of styles are on sale right now during Prime Big Deal Days. If you need a new wallet or travel bag, now is the best time to shop and get the most bang for your buck. We also vetted all of the products included to make sure they’re sold by verified sellers on Amazon (because counterfeit bags look more and more convincing these days) so that you can shop with ease.

What to Look for When Buying a Purse on Amazon

• Material: As with any retailer, the bags offered by Amazon can come in a variety of materials, ranging from leather to canvas to nylon. It all comes down to taste, but Brown warns that “synthetic bags can look great in photographs but end up looking cheap in person, so this is where reviews will come in handy.”
• Reviews: “Take a look at the reviews whenever considering a purchase on Amazon,” Brown advises. “Remember that Amazon is a marketplace built on convenience, and quality control is unique to each seller.”
