9 Shopbop Bags Worth the Splurge

Every editorial product is independently selected by our editors. If you buy something through our links, we may earn commission.

We love finding a good deal as much as the next person. But we also know that when it comes to truly good fashion, some items deserve the occasional splurge — with designer handbags falling under the category of worthwhile spending exceptions (at least in our book!). Unlike other products, handbags carry a sort of timeless elegance that can make them a wardrobe staple through every season and rotating fashion trend.

And Shopbop — aka our tried-and-true destination for shopping out designer fashion and trendy accessories — always manages to deliver with a wide-ranging selection of stylish handbags that are perfect for just about every person's taste and budget. From bucket bags and deep totes to structured shoulder purses and clutches (we're loving this pearly Cult Gaia clutch, in particular), Shopbop's bag collection exceeds our expectations in every season — and this summer is no exception.

We've shopped out a few of our favorite bags and purses that are worth splurging on from Shopbop right now — with styles from luxe brands like Marc Jacobs, Tory Burch, Jacquemus, STAUD, Rag & Bone, and more. Read on to browse our picks and (hopefully) even find your new favorite handbag in the process!

Cute and Croc-Embossed: STAUD Rey Bag

Your eyes aren't deceiving you — croc-embossed leather accessories are having a big moment this season (and they're expected to be even more popular come fall). Embrace the trend on your own terms with this STAUD Rey Bag ($325) — a structured and statement-making alternative to the classic shoulder bag. Unlike it's hard exterior, the inside of the bag is wrapped in a buttery soft suede material that's both chic and protective.

A Deep Tote: Marc Jacobs The Small Terry Traveler Tote

Make your next foray into air travel a breeze with the help of this Marc Jacobs The Small Terry Traveler Tote ($295). With its bulky interior pocket and zip compartments aplenty, this deep bag is such a practical investment — especially if you're looking for a new carry-on bag for any remaining summer travels. The bubblegum pink coloring also feels like a fresh departure from some of today's duller tote bag colorways.

Structured Style: Jacquemus Le Chiquito Noeud Satchel

Calling all tiny bag-lovers — this pick is just for you! If you (like me) love leaving your home with as little as possible (only the essentials, as I like to say), then this Jacquemus Le Chiquito Noeud Satchel ($795) is the designer handbag for you. The compact style is super lightweight — with a polished frame that will help you keep all of your daily must haves close. It might not be the most practical — but at least it's pretty!

Pearl Perfection: Cult Gaia Enid Clutch

If you don't already have a ton of events lined up on your fall calendar, you'll definitely want to RSVP to a few — just for an excuse to use this Cult Gaia Enid Clutch ($328). The evening clutch is made up of a marbled acrylic material that's equally durable and elegant. And the golden, push-lock closure makes the style feel more like a vintage find rather than a new designer accessory.

Best Camera Bag: Marc Jacobs Snapshot Camera Bag

This Marc Jacobs Snapshot Camera Bag ($325) is as picturesque as it is practical. We love the colorblock design of this style especially, as it gives the feel of a dual-patterned product — making it all the more versatile. Despite its small frame, the camera bag also features a decent amount of interior space — including relaxed patch pockets.

What better way to round out your seasonal wardrobe than with this STAUD Mini Moon Bag ($250)? The spherical style certainly gives new meaning to a shapely handbag — courtesy of its loose silhouette.
