Don’t be fooled, you CAN build a diverse bag collection without spending a fortune. If you like having bags with different purposes that are suited for different occasions and looks, your top 5 staples should be: an everyday bag, a special occasion bag, a tote bag, a clutch, (and one of PurseBop’s favorites) a mini bag. These staples can be found at every price range, but if you are just getting into bags or looking for an easy way to fill the gap for one of your essentials, you may have luck exploring the $500 and under range.
