So here I’ll show 12 amazing bags with different price points that will definitely fit your needs, whether you need a shoulder bag or an oversized tote.
So, without further ado here are The 12 Best Designer Bags for Everyday Wear:
1. Fendi Peekaboo
If you are looking for a practical but beautiful and iconic bag for everyday wear, I would say this is the one! Designed by Silvia Venturini Fendi this bag was first presented at Fendi’s Spring 2009 show. The Peekaboo has been designed with several compartments and a double closure so that it can be worn half-open – or half-closed. When it is only half closed, the bag hints at a color, texture, or leather creating a surprising contrast – hence its name. It comes in exotic leathers, fur and calfskin, and also comes in multiple colors, patterns and sizes.
The Peekaboo is sleek, classic and timeless, and it is no surprise that it instantly became beloved amongst celebrities and stylish women around the globe. Like a laidback version of the Kelly, the Peekaboo is a bag you can be sure you will be wearing it for many years to come!
2. Prada Galleria
Few things are more classic than the Prada Galleria bag, rooted in tradition, the Galleria is more than just a bag, it’s an icon. Though the bag was originally introduced in 2007, the history of the bag dates back to Prada’s beginnings. The bag gets its name from the “Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II”, which is where Mario Prada opened his first store in Milan in 1913. A hallmark of Prada’s 21st century identity, the design was first offered in Saffiano leather – a scratch and water-resistant calfskin, a material patented by Mario Prada and still a hallmark of the brand today.
Reminiscent of the frame-shapes and medicine-style bags popular in the mid-century, the Galleria bag references classic styles of the past and exemplifies Prada’s century-old excellence in the manufacture of leathergoods. This bag represents everything that Prada’s DNA is rooted in. This is definitely an investment piece you will be wearing for many years to come, not to mention it is very durable.
3. Saint Laurent LouLou
Designed in 2017 by Anthony Vaccarello, this is one of the most well-known styles of the brand. Named after LouLou de la Falaise, Yves Saint Laurent’s close friend and muse for more than three decades, the LouLou is one of the most beloved bags in Saint Laurent’s arsenal. Is a classic bag that also has a more laidback style. Its hallmarks are its soft but boxy structure, front flap closure, and quilted chevron finish. Having become a staple of Saint Laurent’s accessories offerings, the LouLou is now available in more sizes, ranging from a small over-the-shoulder bag to one that’s oversized enough to carry your laptop or whatever else you may need. There is also the puffer version if you would like a cooler vibe.
The LouLou is versatile and stylish, and would definitely be a staple in your wardrobe.
4. Mansur Gavriel Tote Bag
Mansur Gavriel was founded in 2012 with only two offerings: a tote and a bucket bag. Since than they have expended and become a brand that is all about timeless luxury bags, but the tote remains their most iconic style! Each tote comes with a detachable pouch to keep you organized while you’re out and about. It’s made from high quality vegetable-tanned leather that is sourced from a family-owned tannery in Italy and is intended to age naturally over time, growing in character the more you use it.
Available in large and small sizes this tote will be your best friend for everyday wear.
5. Celine Triomphe Bag
This might be the perfect everyday crossbody bag. The Celine Triomphe bag was designed by Hedi Slimane in 2018 and it bears the Celine logo designed by Celine Vipiana herself. In 1973, Vipiana introduced a newly designed logo that featured an intertwined double C design, with an intricate center pattern that nodded to the architecture of the Arc de Triomphe. The bag has become a classic and its understated and minimalistic look is a perfect representation of the Celine style.
This is a popular bag, but not so much as the Gucci or Louis Vuitton ones we see around, it is an amazing style you won’t regret buying!
6. Loewe Puzzle
Another amazing crossbody option, the Puzzle is iconic and chic. Just about a year into his appointment, Jonathan Anderson added a significant handbag to the Loewe repertoire, one that gave the skills of the label’s craftspeople an especially fine showcase. Enter the Puzzle bag, which was first seen at the men’s spring 2015 show in Paris; at Anderson’s Loewe, handbags are for everyone. Like all Loewe bags, the Puzzle is handcrafted in Madrid, with approximately nine pieces of leather precisely patchworked together, the process takes an estimated nine hours.
Available in calfskin, pebbled calfskin, and goatskin in regular, small, mini, and nano sizes, the bag didn’t take long before turning up on all the chicest influencers and culture-makers. Recently Anderson reveled the Puzzle Hobo bag which is a soft and supple short shoulder bag made in nappa calfskin inspired by the cuboid shape and distinctive geometric lines of the Puzzle bag. The Puzzle has become a Loewe icon! With its innovative cuboid shape, volume is created through precise cutting so the Puzzle bag can be worn in different ways, from shoulder bag to clutch and it folds completely until it’s flat.
This is that rare kind of bag that combines classic styles with modernity and will not go out of style any time soon!

8. Gucci Horsebit 1955
A crossbody is a classic everyday bag! As the legend goes, the horsebit hardware entered Gucci’s arsenal in 1953. It was Aldo Gucci—recognizing that shoppers liked a side of history with their handbags—who perpetuated the myth that the Gucci family had once been saddlemakers to nobility. Since the horsebit appeared on a handbag in 1955, that elegant hardware has become as recognizable as the Chanel double Cs.
Tom Ford, Alessandra Facchinetti, and Frida Giannini all incorporated the horsebit into their designs, and current Gucci creative director Alessandro Michele has given us the latest iteration. Presented at the house’s cruise 2020 collection, the reprised Gucci Horsebit 1955 bag comes in various shapes, like tote, satchel and shoulder bag, all unified by the instantly identifiable double D-rings. After all, there’s no need for a Gucci logo when its signature hardware is present.
This bag is extremely classic and is one you can be sure you will love for many years to come.
9. Louis Vuitton Speedy
This is perhaps the most classic of all Louis Vuitton bags! The Speedy was originally launched in 1932 as a travel bag. It was a phone call from Audrey Hepburn that gave this bag the iconic form and size we know today. Audrey requested Louis Vuitton to custom-make a mini-Speedy for her, so it would be more befitting for everyday use. Who knew that a simple phone call could give us this amazing bag that is to this date a classic?
Louis Vuitton canvas is known for being extremely durable and you can carry this bag by the top handles or by the detachable shoulder strap, not to mention it has room for all your daily essentials! This bag has been around for about 90 years! If this isn’t a classic than I don’t know what is.
10. Coach Tabby Bag
A modern take on an archival 1970s Coach design, the structured Tabby shoulder bag is crafted in polished pebble leather, or with a pillow finish. This bag was super popular in the 2000’s and now it is trending once more! If you’ve been searching for a bag that will take you through season after season, year after year, this style has the perfect forever-chic look. The style’s divided interior helps keep essentials beautifully organized, while interchangeable shoulder and crossbody straps offer styling versatility.
This will be your everyday bag if you like to keep up with trends while staying on a budget!
11. Staud Perry Suede Bag
If you don’t want to spend a lot of money on an everyday bag but still wants to look stylish and chic, I got you! This effortless tote is perfect for everyday wear, you can easily take it from the office to a casual lunch! A slouchy suede hobo tote, the Perry Bag features a wrapped leather handle, metal hardware, a magnetic closure and suede lining. It also comes with a detachable strap to offer multiple carrying options.
This bag reminds me of the famous tote bags from The Row, with that same classic shape and cool style but for only a fraction of the price.
12. Prada Nylon Tote Bag
Few things are at the same time so durable and so iconic as Prada Nylon bags and this tote also has a stylish design for everyday wear.
