My handbag collection is my pride and joy. I love getting dressed up and finding the perfect purse to complete my outfit, and I have loads to choose from—seriously, I have over 50 bags. A timeless shoulder bag or vibrant clutch can transform even the most basic outfits, like a white tee and jeans.
One of my go-to places to find expensive-looking bags at an affordable price is Target. When the retailer drops new styles each season, I add multiple to my virtual cart. I rounded up eight spring and summer handbags on my wish list under $40, and they look 10 times their price.
Spring and Summer Handbags Under $40 at Target
A New Day Asymmetric Shoulder Bag
Target
I’ve had my eye on The Row’s Leather Half Moon Bag, which is over $1,300, but Target has a super similar option for only $25 that I’m opting for instead. It’s available in three colors: black, off-white with brown trim, and a summer-forward option with a wicker facade and white accents. According to one shopper, it “goes well with every outfit.”
Universal Thread Oversized Slouchy Shoulder Bag
Target
Celebrities like Dakota Johnson have made a case for oversized shoulder bags, and this $35 one is available in black and off-white. It features a spacious interior and a magnetic closure to keep essentials secure. One customer “obsessed” with the handbag said it’s a great alternative to the Coach Brooklyn Bag.
A New Day Straw Tie-Top Shoulder Bag
Target
My summer wardrobe wouldn’t be complete without straw accessories for a beachy touch, and this tie-top shoulder bag is absolute perfection. The tie closure can be undone and re-knotted for your preferred length, and one person said it’s large enough to fit their phone and other must-haves, no problem. Another reviewer said it’s the “perfect vacation bag.”
A New Day Mini Woven Shoulder Bag
Target
I’m fond of woven textured bags, especially Bottega Veneta’s, one of our editors’ best purse brand picks. Since I’m currently on a budget, this affordable alternative with a similar weave to the designer’s is just as chic and only $18. I’m eyeing the tan since light neutrals make up a good chunk of my summer wardrobe.
