DESIGNER BAGS UNDER $1.500

Updated: Apr 22, 2022

If you follow me on Instagram (@stilebymariana), you probably know by now that I am a big fan of designer bags. I don’t own a huge collection but I’m always researching, updating my wishlist, and keeping an eye on new styles.


In this post, I’ll share my all-time favorite bag and some classic style options that are worth the investment (in my opinion).


  • Favorite Bag: Gucci Soho Disco Small


Soho Disco Bag was launched by Gucci in 2012 and it’s become one of the hottest Gucci bags ever since.


I added this bag on my wishlist back in 2013. It was my #1 item to buy but I wasn’t sure if I was going to use it a lot, and wasn’t sure if it was a classic style or a short-term trend. It took me 3 years before I eventually decided to buy while on a trip to Europe, and I have to say…It was my best purchase ever! Not only the bag is a Gucci classic now, and it is extremely handy and practical.


The bag is made of soft leather, with top zip closure, light gold-toned hardware, an adjustable leather strap, and two interior pockets. The size is perfect: 8″W x 6″H x 2.5″D.


It is available now in 3 colors: Black, Rose Beige and Red.


I have mine in black and it is my everyday bag. I have it on me when I run errands, go out on the weekends and when I’m traveling. Don’t be fool by its size…you can fit a lot inside this bag!


In addition, the quality is amazing. I’ve been wearing it for almost 4 years now and it looks new.


The only downside to me is the fact that this is not a bag that I would wear for a sophisticated event. It’s definitely more of a casual bag for everyday use.

If you are looking for a practical, classic bag with a great price and amazing quality, I highly recommend this one!


This bag retails for:

US: $1,190

Europe: € 890

Brazil: R$5.660 (Farfecth)


See below for some other classics bags in the same price range. Wallets on a chain are usually a good option for a nice bag with a small investment. They’re smaller bags which make them great to wear in the evening for a more sophisticated event, or even as a clutch.
