Designer or Deal North/South tote: designer tote / luxury brand tote /

The classic north/south tote style is hot this year. So, if you have one tucked away in the back of your closet, pull it out and rock it! If not, you might consider investing in one if you think this slouchy tote style will fit into your lifestyle.

Of course, the designer version of this popular handbag style is well over $1000, but luckily not too high priced as it is still under $2000. If you are looking for something a little softer on your bank account, this mid-priced version from a fabulous luxury brand might be more up your alley. It is under $1000 and features excellent quality and craftsmanship. This is the one on my wish list!

I love this soft neutral hue as we move through spring and head into summer. It will also play well with fall’s upcoming color palette. Love that!

What do you think of the slouchy, north/south tote look?

Thanks for stopping by!

Handbags under $1000 spring 2024

Spring 2024 handbags under $1000 from top left: black shoulder bag / neutral mini tote / black shoulder bag / chocolate brown slouchy tote / black handbag / yellow pouch /

There are so many fabulous handbags under $1000 for the spring 2024 season, it is unnecessary to spend thousands of dollars on a handbag; unless of course you are absolutely in love with it and know you will get a lot of use out of it, but I digress. . .

The spring 2024 is still all about the anonymous handbag. The ultimate IT bag is a bag no one knows, unless of course, they know! haha

Handbags right now are all about high quality, expert craftsmanship, and no loud logos. Think, investment handbags!

While fun colors are hot for spring, neutrals and black are also hot right now. A fun color can be an investment just as much as a neutral or black handbag. When shopping for a color, look for a hue you love and can picture yourself wearing every spring/summer season. Don’t buy a color because you think it is trendy, buy a shade you love and will cherish for years. That will make a colorful handbag a true investment.

So, without further ado, here are a few fabulous handbags from around the web priced under $1000 and investment worthy. Love!

I hope you find your forever bag under $1000!

Thanks for stopping by!
