5 "It" Spring Handbags (Splurge & Save)

The Spring handbags post contains affiliate links.

With spring beginning this week and warmer months ahead, I thought I’d round up five handbag trends that I’m loving right now. Sometimes with an “it” bag, comes a high price tag. So in addition to the “it” bag, I’ve round up some more affordable versions for the gal on a budget. Check it out!

1. Round Straw Tote: This was my big splurge last year. I have a Claire V. in white but it also comes in yellow and black! (A splurge at $225)

Save: BP. Circle Basket Tote ($49), Billabong Crossbody Bag ($44.95), Large Circle Straw Shoulder Bag ($44).

2. Cult Gaia Arc Bag: These bags were everywhere last year and look like they’re here to stay for this spring. I have this in the natural but it also comes in Mother of Pearl, Graphite, Black, Pink, Glitter, Marigold, Agate, Rainbow and Tortoise. (A splurge at $298)

Save: Bamboo ($75), Bamboo ($65.50), Amazon also has a ton at different prices.

3. Bamboo Circular Bag: Another bamboo bag in a different shape. It’s only a matter of time before it comes in every color (right now it’s just bamboo, black and green). This Cult Gaia bag has been everywhere lately! (A splurge at $215)

Save: Here’s an identical version for $33.39 and it comes in black!

4. Leather Circle Bag: Circle bags are all the rage right now! Whether they’re bamboo, straw, leather or suede, you have to have a leather one! My current favorite is the circular leather bags from Mansur Gavriel. (A splurge at $795)

Save: Nine West makes a similar version for $59 and there’s also some mini versions if you want a crossbody. This Madewell mini is my favorite.

5. The Fanny Pack: Who would have ever thought this would be back in style? Fanny packs are back with a vengance and more stylish than ever thanks to Gucci. (A splurge at $1100)

Save: Rebecca Minkoff makes a sassy one for $118, Kate Spade at $198, Forever 21 at $15.90, Topshop at $40, and Asos at $29.
