40 designer bags you can get for under $400

While visions of designer bags like the Fendi Baguette, Gucci’s Marmont, and the Chloé Tess haunt our dreams, reality never seizes to come crashing down in the form of student loans, rent, and bills.

For designer bags and wallets that won’t (majorly) break the bank, check out these 40 styles under £400. We mean, a Marc Jacobs Snapshot bag is basically a form of self-care, isn’t it?

Tote bags under £400

Roomy, chill, and practical: the tote bag is our trusty companion on the morning commute, at the airport, and everything in between. For the best affordable designer totes under £400, we love Dragon Diffusion‘s woven pieces.

Hobo bags under £400

Hobo bags were one of the 90s and Y2K trends to make a big comeback in 2023, and for good reason: the perfect middle ground between a tote and a handbag, they’re as cute as they are practical. Key features include a one-strap design, a crescent shape, and a slouchy silhouette.

Clutches under £400

A going-out staple, the clutch bag has recently made its way back into fashion. The 2024 clutch is slouchy, oversized, and carried lovingly under your arm. We’re loving Mansur Gavriel and Nanushka for pillow-like clutches, and Cult Gaia for sculptural, jewel bags.
