We say this annoyingly often, but our bag is one of very few, painstakingly chosen things we actually think are worthy of investment.

Because we carry it every SINGLE day of our adult lives, it makes sense we’d want it to be gorgeous and practical and impeccable quality. It’s the principle of spend once, use (and love) forever.

But today, we don’t have to.

Because today, we found 13 utterly lust-worthy, designer bags wildly on sale on Nordstrom Rack. Same beauty. Same quality. Just a good ol’ slashed price.

Curating this list was a labor of love that involved digging through plenty of pleather knock offs, pocket-sized clutches, and shoulder bags covered in a weird number of metal chains. But we unearthed some genuine treasure: bags we’ve wanted forever.

And here they are.

 

1. Marc Jacobs The Groove Leather Mini Messenger Bag

Admittedly, we lusted after this bag the very moment we saw it, because it felt like a more compact version of the one featured in this iconic ensemble:

The shape is just so aesthetically pleasing, draped across your body and sitting on your hip. And though petite, it’s spacious enough to carry our essentials on days we don’t want to lug a suitcase-sized tote. Just use THIS life-changing purse organization technique to make sure you have exactly what you need when you walk out the door.

Price: $200 $395

 

 
 

2. Jason Wu Elsa Leather Shoulder bag

Another stunning shape but in smooth, rich caramel leather. This is one of those bags that seems like it could have cost you 4X as much, because it quietly makes all your outfits look miles more luxury.

Price: $160 $360

 

 
 
 

3. Madewell Market Check Woven Straw Basket Tote

Ok, ok - Madewell ain’t exactly designer, but a summery raffia tote has been on our wishlist ever since we watched this handbag-forward show. Pair this gorj one with THIS staple midi skirt or THIS flattering everyday dress, and you have yourself the chicest, most foolproof spring/ summer/ vacation/ weekend “look.”

Price: $50 $88

 

 
 

4. Marc Jacobs The Grind Tote

We actually invented a 4-step work uniform for looking effortlessly sophisticated on the daily. This tote does about 78% of the work all on its own.

Price: $220 $450

 

 
 

5. Valentino Delphine Super V Tote Bag

Spacious enough to contain the utter chaos of what we like to carry around in a given day, but the smooth leather and clean lines make us look 12x more put-together and luxe than with any other tote we’ve toted.

Price: $450 $995

 

 
 
 
 
 

6. Kate Spade cove street crossbody bag

This bag transported us right back to the fancy section of the mall in 2001 where we ogled over the vivid pops of color and Grace Kelly-esque designs of the Kate Spade store. To hold one in our hands today feels like a gift to that window-shopping, 20-ish year-old. Although come to think of it, even she could have possibly afforded this one.

Price: $100 $299

 

 
 

7.

Rebecca Minkoff Regan Leather Satchel

We rely on this suede satchel to make us look cool and edgy and “styled” every time we just want to throw on loose jeans and a white tee and be done with it. We love the easy access of a top zip and that it keeps its perfect shape, even when we stuff its surprisingly roomy interior to the brim.

Price: $180 $328

 

 
 

8. Longchamp Le Pliage Expandable Tote

We will never not want this perfect packable French tote in every color it comes in. This shade looks particularly splendid and spring-y when we’re wearing #2 on THIS list.

Price: $130 $230

 

 
 

9. Marc Jacobs Mini Rider Crossbody Bag

Ugh, another one we’ve been pinning on our Pinterest boards for years in hopes someone who loves us will take the highly overt hint. The shape makes us hold our breath every time we see it.

Price: $150 $295

 

 
 

10. Kate Spade Weston Shoulder Bag

We’ve really come round to the idea that a bag can provide a hint of color that makes every other neutral thing we wear far more interesting while still being chic and sort of quiet luxury. And nothing does all this more effectively than the soft, soft blue of this bag.

Price: $130 $399

 

 
 

11. Clare V. Tennis Balls Canvas Duffle Bag

This pretty damn fun, casj one from our favorite bag designer on the planet at this time is for those of us who like our luxury on the louder side.

Price: $110 $295

 

 
 

12. Madewell The Transport Leather Bucket Bag

Again, not technically “designer,” but Madewell makes designer-level leather bags, and we’ve been pining after this one for so long that once we saw it at this bonkers price, we simply had to share. You know, just in case you’ve felt the same.

Price: $100 $168
