10 Splurge

Every product on this page was chosen by a Harper's BAZAAR editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy.

Including Tory Burch, Versace, and Chloé—all for up to half-off.

There are few things fashion editors love more than an end-of-season sale, like the one happening now at Nordstrom. It's your chance to shop investment-worthy items like coats, boots, and handbags that fall victim to the rigid fashion calendar, which demands shelves must be cleared to make way for new arrivals for the coming season. Lucky for us, that means major savings on items that are just as desirable now as they were three months ago.

To help you sort through the hundreds of totes, clutches, backpacks, shoulder bags, crossbody bags, and wallets in the Nordstrom designer handbag sale, we've highlighted our ten most splurge-worthy designer purses below. Our picks include cult favorites from It-brands like Puppets and Puppets, Homage Year, and Palm Angels, elevated basics from Simon Miller and The Attico, and compliment-earners from Versace and Tory Burch. Think of adding them to your wardrobe as investing in wearable art that you'll treasure forever.

Whether you're channeling Daisy Jones or Penny Lane, you'll feel '70s chic carrying this fringe-trim suede bag from Brother Vellies. Hand-carved wood rings, polished logo hardware and a well-organized interior bring an elevated feel to the vintage-inspired piece.

With black, brown, gold, and snakeskin accents, this grommet-covered shoulder bag goes with virtually any outfit. One reviewer called it "extra versatile" thanks to the included crossbody strap. Its curved crescent shape is one of the year's biggest handbag trends, so it's worth investing in right here and now.

The New York-based label Puppets and Puppets went viral for its novelty bags, which feature ultra-simple silhouettes topped with 3D food objects like cookies, bananas, and this glittering pumpkin.

The cool kids these days are wearing the distinctive Ova Bag from Homage Year, an Atlanta-based label led by 23-year-old Antoine Manning. "It's really sturdy and a great size," said one reviewer. "I can fit all of my essentials and it matches with everything." This Robin egg blue colorway feels just right for spring.

Allow your boring canvas totes to hibernate this spring and schelp your laptop around the city in an origami-esque shoulder bag from The Attico instead. The bag's flat base, adjustable shoulder strap and flap closure ensure it's as practical for daily use as it is chic.

Name something more exciting than saving hundreds of dollars by scoring an investment bag on sale. I'll wait.

The timeless silhouette of this monochrome Versace handbag feels ultra-modern thanks to a 3-D Medusa head on the flap closure and the oversized chain along the shoulder strap. "The chain is super lightweight but gives it that edgy vibe I love," said a reviewer.

Lean into the boho vibes and crochet textures happening this spring with this artisanal handbag from Chloé. The versatile everyday bag features colorfully crocheted stripes and leather handles with contrast stitching for added intrigue.

This crossbody bag from Palm Angels is crafted in the Italian label's signature off-kilter silhouette with structured sides and a flat base for added stability. Stamped with a gothic-font logo, the ultra-simple handbag style is an instant streetwear classic.

This spring's accessories are covered in unexpected textures, like the one created by the tiny little loops on this Simon Miller bag. Its functional size and adjustable shoulder strap make the chic faux-leather bag a practical option for everyday wear.

Show your spring wardrobe some love with this sweet heart-shaped bag. With a zippered interior, single top handle, and detachable crossbody strap, it's impossible not to fall in love with its endearing design.
