5 mid-priced handbag brands to know from top left: lizard print shoulder bag / neutral shoulder bag / teal shoulder bag / black top handle bucket bag / croc print top handle bag / neutral bucket bag /

The anonymous handbag is the current IT bag, and with that being said, you don’t have to break the bank to carry the ultimate bag of the moment. There are so many fabulous, mid-priced handbag brands out there. So, I curated five of my favorite brands you may not have heard of yet. Although, if you have been following this blog and IT bags, you are no stranger to Mansur Gavriel! They are quite well known! But I digress. . .

What makes a chic, anonymous IT bag this year? Well, let’s break that down. The ultimate anonymous handbag is made from high quality materials and is crafted with exquisite craftsmanship. There are no loud logos; of course, brands and designers will put their logo somewhere, so your bag will have a stamp or small logo of some sort. The logo should not be the design of the bag; if you know what I mean.

There are quite a few mid-priced handbag brands out there, but some offer better quality and style than others. My five favorite mid-priced brands, not including Coach because I assume you already know they offer high quality and classic styles, are as follows, in alphabetical order.

APC

APC offers clean, classic styling and high-quality craftsmanship on their handbags. In addition, they are more affordable than other brands with the same quality. Love that!

Aspinal

Aspinal is another brand which offers clean lines, classic styles, and high quality. I might start repeating myself when describing these brands! haha

DeMellier

If you have been following along, you know I love my DeMellier bag! I wear it quite often, and the quality is top notch. I love their chic styles too.

Mansur Gavriel

Well, as you know, we are nearing ten years of my Mansur Gavriel obsession. They offer fabulous handbag styles which are classic, as well as high quality craftsmanship.

Sezane

Sezane is also a chic brand with high quality handbags. Love!

There you have it! Five fabulous mid-priced handbag brands to know and love. They all offer chic styles with high quality craftsmanship.

Moderate handbags are having a moment. The days of needing a flashy bag with a premier designer name plastered all over it, are gone. With the rise of the anonymous handbag, and the quest for quality over name, IT bags priced under $1000 are the ultimate status symbol to carry this year. Love that!

Spring 2023 is all about chic shoulder bags, top handle satchels which are small in stature, top handle bucket bags, straw or natural fibers, hobo bags, and moon shaped bags. Thankfully, there are fabulous handbags in these categories priced well under $1000. In fact, they are from brands and designers with a “cool factor,” making them recognizable to those who know. Of course, those who know, are all that matters.
