The 500+ Club helps take the guesswork out of shopping on Amazon. The product experts at Good Housekeeping have vetted the below products to ensure they’re worth your money. Each one boasts at least 500 reviews and a minimum 4-star rating from real, verified reviewers, so you can trust that you’re purchasing products that actually work, according to users and experts.
Designer bags are cute, but when you're trying to curate purses to go with multiple outfits and occasions, that money can really add up. But your handbags don't have to break the bank. Amazon has a ton of cute and stylish purses that are actually super affordable.
Keep in mind that when you're shopping even the best purses on Amazon, you're probably shopping off-brand bags that use cheaper fabrics and material. You may be trading genuine leather for a faux alternative, called PU leather. The fabric looks and feels the same, but it can easily crack if not maintained well — just something to keep in mind when you find a crossbody for $20.
See below for 15 best purses on Amazon, including stylish laptop bags for women, cute crossbody and messenger bags, large bags with handbag organizers, and dainty bags for every season. The best part? Each Amazon purse below costs less than $50. Oh how we love a good Amazon deal!
If you're looking for something cute and casual, Amazon reviewers recommend this purse since it's "compact, yet has ample amount of room." Carry it by the top handle or use the detachable strap to wear it over your shoulder. It comes in 28 colors.
