Happy National Handbag Day 2021! As you know, this is one of my favorite national days, because handbags are so much fun! This year, I thought I would celebrate my current favorites, as well as my long-loved Givenchy Antigona.

Let’s start with the Givenchy! When I went into my photo gallery to find a picture of my Givenchy Antigona, there were a couple of pages of close-up photos. It’s incredible how often I wear this bag. I have to say, my Antigona is a fabulous, workhorse bag. It is extremely strong and durable. I have carried a heavy, DSLR camera around in it, as well as anything my kids have asked me to hold for them over the years. It has gone to many fashion week’s with me, and it has been my go-to bag when I need a roomy handbag for years. I have a black one, and a light blue one. The black bag is the one I reach for the most, but the light blue bag has been a nice alternative over the years. The Antigona is definitely my best handbag purchase-ever; even over my classic Chanel’s!

I also want to celebrate Mansur Gavriel’s new Candy Bag, and current IT bag, the Cloud clutch. These are great handbags which are easy to wear on a daily basis; plus, they are priced under $1000. Love that!

Happy National Handbag Day! In honor of this fabulous day, let’s chat about the best fall handbags under $1000 for fall 2017 from hot designers such as Gucci, Mansur Gavriel, Tory Burch, Burberry, Chloe, and more.

Let’s face it, if you are reading this post, you may just have a love for handbags as I do. I truly feel a girl can never have enough handbags. I love handbags with a story; from designers and brands who value quality, craftsmanship, and original style. I always do my best to steer clear of copycat designs, and brands which have a reputation for poor quality. I also love owning bags which have a decent resale value; because you never know when you might need to turn your collection into cash; especially when you spend a couple thousand dollars, or more, on a bag!

That being said. . .I am a firm believer in looking for bags with value. You don’t have to break the bank to own an IT bag, or a bag with resale value; or a hot designer bag for that matter! So, without further ado, I have curated several bags from around the web which have an IT factor to them, and are made by designers or brands I trust for excellent quality, craftsmanship, and design. My favorite bags are in the collage below-

pictured from top left: Gucci bag (I saw this bag on the arms of New York Fashion Week attendees. This is a hot IT bag!) / classic Chloe bag (this is a classic IT bag which is a staple in every handbag lover’s closet-I have it on my wish list but can’t decide on color-which color do you like?) / Burberry tote (classic and practical-love!) / Gucci Marmont (hot IT bag du jour!) / olive box satchel (hot IT style from a timeless brand) / Chloe Faye backpack (up and coming IT bag for casual style) / Mansur Gavriel bucket bag (be still my beating heart-this fall color is to-die-for. classic IT bag and must-have!) / Black circle tote (circle bags are all the rage right now, and this one is under $400, love!)

How fabulous are these bags?! I’m dying over that new color from Mansur Gavriel, and the box satchel is absolutely beautiful. I have been eyeing that Chloe cross body bag for a few seasons now but can’t decide on a color. So many bags to covet! I wish I could fit them all in my collage, but alas, I could not. I placed my favorites in the collage, and the others I am in love with are in the shopping widget below. Simply scroll through, and click on the ones which interest you.
