It’s the most wonderful time of the year. The moment when the hoopla of the holidays is finally behind us and—the reason why you’re here—all of the coveted designer handbags finally go on sale. If you’re like me, someone who’s dedicated to elevating your accessories this year without sacrificing quality and being fiscally irresponsible, now’s the moment to invest in an expertly crafted purse for a fraction of the price.
I’m starting my shopping trip with Ferragamo’s Hug Bag. The belted stunner has been on my wish list for quite some time, so, of course, I was excited to see it hiding in the sale section at SSENSE. That’s not the only viral goodie I found. Bottega Veneta’s Cassette ba,g with its logo-free yet instantly recognizable intrecciato weave, and Chloé’s hallmark saddle-inspired bag are on the list along with many others. See for yourself in our curated list of the best designer handbag sales below.

Medium Hug Bag
If you’re looking for a winter bag to carry through the city or during a snowy getaway, the texture of Ferragamo’s Hug Bag is the perfect seasonal investment. We can’t forget to mention the longer strap it comes with, so it can be worn across your body when you need to go hands-free.

Here’s a chic way to add a splash of fun to your handbag collection. Jacquemus makes the shoulder bag feel refreshingly exciting with playful beads secured on the ends of the strap.

I love when brands find a way to make the everyday essentials feel special. Toteme does so with its leather-trimmed tote that’s equipped with pockets for staying organized.
