I'm not a collector by any means, but I enjoy investing in a designer bag every now and then. I set a strict budget for myself before purchasing a new one. Currently, I'm experiencing a serious case of the shopping bug, so I've carefully selected the best designer bags under $500 available at Nordstrom right now. They'll satisfy the craving without overspending.
The retailer's Half-Yearly sale may have ended this week, but the site remains a treasure trove of designer finds. My picks range from reliable laptop bags I've depended on for over a decade to trendier options that I believe will have lasting appeal in your closet. There are Coach bags that come pre-approved by Bella Hadid, suede bags perfect for embracing summer 2025's boho fashion trend, and chic shoulder bags you could easily wear on a night out. I even found a few beaded bags from Staud, Gigi Hadid's go-to in this category.
