In an era of investment dressing, it is only natural that we all want to invest in beautiful, timeless handbags. While many investment bags can be in the thousands of dollars, it is nice to know there are several investment worthy handbags out there which are not only under $2000, but under $1000 as well. Love that!
These six handbags exude everything which is important in style and fashion at the moment. In addition, many of these handbag styles have been popular for years, even decades! This makes them not only classic, but good investments. Think of the reduced cost-per-wear when you can keep a bag in rotation for years and years; even decades! Amazing!
So, let’s dive into these six investment handbags and find the right one for your wardrobe; or maybe you already own one or more of them! Kudos to you! You already know investment purchases save money over time since you don’t need to replace an item every season or so. When you invest in something timeless, made from high quality materials and crafted by skilled artisans, the item will withstand the test of time as well as transcend trends. This makes it an investment piece.
Toteme T Lock bag: While this bag is new to the world of fashion, it has already proven to be favored by those who invest in their wardrobes. It is made from high-quality leather and the craftsmanship is impeccable. Since the t-lock logo is tiny, it is a handbag which displays quality versus shouting at the world how much it cost. It comes with a top handle, and a shoulder strap making it versatile and easy to wear for multiple occasions. The t-lock bag is available in various, timeless hues such as black, caramel, grey, and ivory. Any color you choose will withstand the test of time. Check out my review here. Love it!
Green woven handbag: While this Bottega Veneta Loop Bag is shown in classic Parakeet, aka “Bottega Green,” it is available in a rainbow of colors, all of which are timeless. This is a style which has been in Bottega Veneta’s repertoire for years and has proven to be a classic staple in their line. You can read my review here. Fabulous!
Coach Swinger Bag: This cute little bag is a reissue of a popular style from Coach’s glove tanned leather heyday. It is made from Coach’s modern version of glove tanned leather and offers a short and long strap, giving the bag versatility. It has proven to be extremely popular, so much so, that Coach has trouble keeping black in stock! Don’t worry, if black is sold out you can go on a wait list, it restocks fairly quickly. I have had mine for a few years now and the leather gets better with time; just like back in the day! I find it to be great for travel and everyday use. My review is here. This investment bag is under $500, love that!
Mansur Gavriel Bucket Bag: This is a classic daytime bag which has been popular for a decade now. You no longer have to go on a waitlist to grab a bag, but that doesn’t diminish the popularity of this handbag. The bucket bag is still hot and it is a classic style. The leather and craftsmanship are high quality and will withstand the test of time. While it may scratch initially, the scratches blend into the leather giving it a beautiful patina over time, much like glove tanned leather. This is a handbag for investors and those who know quality.
Chloe Marcie Cross Body bag: This cutie has been around for roughly two decades and is still hotter than hot. While the satchel version is twice the price, you can snap up the cross-body for under $2000. The cross-body version is available in multiple sizes and a large range of colors. You cannot go wrong investing in the Chloe Marcie! The leather is beautiful as well as the craftsmanship. It is a true investment!
Mulberry Amberley: This is my new obsession. My Mulberry wish list a mile long, so I need to buy a lottery ticket and win! haha. Mulberry uses the highest quality leather as well as employs the finest artisans. Not only that, they work hard to be eco-friendly and lower thier carbon footprint. This is an amazing company I can get behind. Make your wish list! But back to the Amberley, this classic shoulder bag has been in thier line for years and makes a fabulous investment handbag. I love mine! You can read my review here.

Happy National Handbag Day! This is always such a fun day, because we can celebrate our love for handbags, and no-one will judge us! Love that!
Every year, I write about National Handbag Day in a slightly different way. Some years I celebrate my favorite bags, while other years I talk about trends or popular IT bags of the moment. Since we are currently in the anonymous handbag era, I will feature my favorite anonymous handbags of the moment.
While I mentioned they are my favorite bags of the moment, they are also investment handbags I have either owned for a long period of time and they are still relevant, or they have the potential to be long-lasting, investment pieces.
I was only going to write about my five favorite, anonymous handbags of the moment, but I could not narrow it down, so here are six!
Mulberry Amberley
My new obsession is Mulberry handbags. The quality of leather is incredible, and the craftsmanship is top notch. I also love their attention to sustainability and efforts to produce handbags in a more eco-conscious manner. This is something important to watch for as we move into the future and when we invest in handbags as well as shoes, accessories, and apparel. The way a company handles manufacturing can make or break my support. We only have one planet, and companies need to treat factory personnel ethically. My Mulberry wish list is quite long!
Back to the Amberley, this is a fabulous bag! My Mulberry Amberley is very comfortable and easy to wear on a daily basis. The quality and craftsmanship are amazing, and I really love this bag! I cannot wait to add more colors to my collection! As I mentioned before, my Mulberry wish list is quite long!
Givenchy Antigona
If you have been following along for some time, you already know my Givenchy Antigona satchel is my favorite workhorse bag. It has strong construction which enables me to carry heavy items and really stuff the bag without having to worry about the bag falling apart. It really is a workhorse! This bag holds up strong and can get tossed around without scratching. Please note, I have the sugar leather which is incredibly durable. Love it! Since I love my Givenchy Antigona so much, I own two! The black one pictured above, and I also have a pale blue Antigona. The pale blue is beautiful, but difficult to photograph with my camera so you don’t see it featured here very often, but I do wear it!
Mansur Gavriel bucket bag
My Mansur Gavriel bucket bag is a classic handbag which is nearing its tenth anniversary! This is also a workhorse bag I use as an alternative to a tote when I need to truck a ton of stuff around. When I say stuff, I mean a sweatshirt, scarf, snacks, water bottle, and who knows what else! haha, I do have three kids, although teenagers, they still require extra stuff such as snacks etc. This bag also has fabulous construction and can really withstand a lot of weight. The quality is amazing, and it has really withstood the test of time. I look forward to using it for a lifetime!
Coach Swinger
Coach Messenger Tabby 19
When it comes to mini bags, my collection is full. I love my Coach Swinger which features two different straps and has turned out to be extremely practical. It has also held up in the rain without showing any wear. It is very sturdy and has impeccable Contruction. Love! Speaking of Coach, my Tabby Messenger 19 is also an easy bag to wear often and has some boho, 1970s vibes which I love.
Bottega Veneta Loop
Of course, the Bottega Veneta Loop bag is a classic mini bag which I had to get in “Bottega green!” I love wearing it when I need a pop of color in my look; and the soft leather is luxurious, and surprisingly strong. It is another great quality bag to cherish for a lifetime!
Well, those are my favorite handbags of the moment which are currently on rotation. Of course, I have more handbags, which I love, but I cannot write about all of them today! Have a fabulous and happy National Handbag Day and feel free to sound off in the comment section below letting me know your favorite handbags of the moment!
Thanks for stopping by!
