I’m Obsessed With Handbags—These Nordstrom Finds Are Some of the Best

Even though I began to clean out my closet earlier this month, I can’t bring myself to clear out my handbag bin. I prefer the term “collector” over “hoarder” to describe the tens of bags I’ve added to my wardrobe over the last few years, even though my boyfriend would disagree with that notion. Did I take over one of our tiny closets by just storing my handbags? I plead the fifth. 

Although one of my New Year’s resolutions was to limit the number of purses I have, after seeing these Nordstrom finds, I have to admit, there’s nothing quite as tempting as these finds. Naturally, Nordstrom clothing is some of the best out there, but after spending hours scrolling through the retailer’s handbag offerings, I’m pleasantly shocked at the amount of affordable, chic bags that work for every lifestyle and price point. Some of the best statement bags are ringing in well under $100, while classic silhouettes from designer labels are nowhere near the four-figure investment price range everyone associates with quality. Payday is on the horizon, and I know exactly where my money is going next.

Below are all of the best affordable Nordstrom handbags at every price range, including so many great finds under $50 and $100.
