I recently came across Cult Gaia's newest spring collection and just about lost my mind with all the good designs and even better price points! It gave me the idea to do a post dedicated to statement bags under $500. I have had quite a few on my wishlist so I thought I would see if I could seek out at least 10 that were worth mentioning. Wellllll, I managed to find over 25 different bags that fit the bill! There are so many unique and stunning shapes out now so these are not your average leather totes or shoulder bags. These bags make a statement and really add something extra to an outfit.
I purchased this Mansur Gavriel bucket bag in today's post a few years ago at the height of the hysteria surrounding them (they used to sell out in less than 5-10 minutes - it was madness), and have still felt it is one of the best bags in my collection (and it's under $500!). Straw totes are usually much lower in price point so I find that my summer bag collection is always a bit larger than my winter, but I was happy to see that there were quite a few structured bags in leather or suede that would be perfect for the colder months. Many are from newer designers that I have only recently heard of, but there are a few classic designers like Coach, Marc Jacobs and Theory that put out really great options as well.
