Spring 2025 IT bags under $1000

spring 2025 IT Bags under $1000 from top left: studded bag / boxy tote / belted tote / suede bucket bag / east/west bag / studded strap bucket bag /

This is the golden era of handbags. We are no longer bound to expensive designer handbags adorned with recognizable logos and wannabe status silhouettes. The current IT bag is not recognizable. It is made with quality materials and craftsmanship, and it is an investment which will withstand the test of time. Love that!

Spring 2025 is all about quality, and the handbag styles we are loving right now include slouchy bucket bags, east/west bags, belted totes, studded handbags, boxy bags, mini baguettes, and hobo handbags. In addition, suede, neutral hues, shades of mocha, and flat studs or grommets are hotter than hot right now. So, look in your closet and pull out what you have stored and what you have been wearing for the past few years, because they are still hot!

When it comes to investing in a new handbag this season, this golden era of handbags is offering us plenty of options priced well under $1000, $500, and even $200. Love that!

So, without further ado, here are my favorite spring 2025 handbags priced under $1000 which also make fabulous investment handbags.

What is your favorite handbag this season?

Outfit inspo early spring style

Outfit idea from top left: wide leg jeans (avl in petite, reg, and tall sizes) / spring sweater / hoop earrings / necklace / fisherman sandals / east/west bag /

Spring is upon us, so it is time to put some spring outfit ideas together! Shades of mocha are hot this year, so these classic and neutral pieces are perfect to mix and match now. Wide leg jeans are still hot, so this neutral pair is perfect for a spring look while keeping us warm during the cool spring weather.

Fisherman sandals are a hot trend this year and so is the east/west bag. These are two IT styles which will play well with all the spring and summer trends. Love that!

This spring season is all about chic and understated looks. Stay away from tight clothing, logos, and flashy looks.

BAF Weekly IT List

BAF Weekly IT List from top left: spring sweater / spring nail polish / spring top coat / green and white top / belted tote / neutral tote / suede high heels / east/west bag / suede bucket bag / fisherman sandals /

How cute are these fisherman sandals! This sandal style goes in and out every few years, and this year it is in! We are seeing fisherman sandals in neutral hues with styles shown in flat and block heel variations. I snapped up a block heel for a little arch support and I love them!

As we move into spring, suede is strong as well as shades of mocha, pops of pale pink, pastels, and of course, the anonymous handbag. Keep building your wardrobe with timeless and quiet pieces. Logos and flash are still out.

Spring nail polish is hot right now with mint green and pale pink going strong. This sheer blue top coat is also hot as it can modernize any light colored nail polish you have in your wardrobe. Love that!
