The Best Fall Bags Under $150

Best Overall

This classic black bag can be worn two ways—as a top handle or crossbody—thanks to the detachable strap. The sturdy build and shape allow enough room to hold all of your essentials without veering into giant tote territory (not that there’s anything wrong with a good tote).

Best Value

While similar in silhouette to the Kate Spade bag above, this Aldo model is a bit smaller in size if you prefer something a little lighter. The front buckle secures your items in the bag and the silver hardware is oh so chic. We also love the croc embossed look, which adds some pizazz to a basic black crossbody.

Best Crossbody

This color is too perfect for fall outfits and it even transitions nicely into winter, too. With minimal embellishments and a streamlined shape, it’s a small yet ideal style to hold your wallet and smaller essentials. Also note that the strap is adjustable and nice and thin, so it won’t look too bulky across your outfit.

Best Shoulder Bag

Pop this pink shearling bag on your shoulder to stand out in the crowd. It has plenty of space for your must-have daily items, and you can even slip a pair of gloves in the back zipper pocket when it gets a little chillier.

Best Vegan Leather Bag

This trendy style is everywhere these days (it all started with this $1,900 Bottega Veneta beauty), and we’ve gotta say we love the woven look. Grab it in mauve, black or white and don’t expect to fit too much, because the interior space is quite limited.

Best Tote

Headed back to the office this fall? This large tote has tons of space for your laptop, notebook and everything in between. Outside of the office, this sizeable style is ideal for those of us who overload our purses with all of those “just in case” items.

Best Clutch

This vegan leather clutch comes complete with a chain detail that drapes across the bag and provides an easier way to tote it around. The only downside? Choosing between eight gorgeous colors…

Best Statement Bag

We all need at least one statement bag in our arsenals, and this quilted emerald green number is at the top of our list. It looks small in size, but has a surprisingly spacious interior to hold all of the things you need. While we love this for fall, it’s also the perfect choice for any and all holiday soirees.

Best Everyday Bag

This guy is big enough for your day-to-day essentials and can be worn as a crossbody or held as a handbag. It also comes handy with a wristlet for your cards if you don’t want to bring the full bag (or are prone to losing your wallet in the dark abyss of a large tote).

Best for Game Day or Concerts

Many stadiums and arenas have strict rules for purses, but this small, see-through crossbody will ensure you’re in the clear—literally.

Best for Formal Outings

The silver ring handle on this bag screams luxury. We love the sleek design of the bag and how small it is to hold only what you need for a special night out.
