If you asked me to list the best affordable classic handbag lines, Italian-made Furla would be one of the first labels on my list. Their handbag shapes are timeless, but fall short of obviously knocking off higher-end bags, and they are always available in a nice range of both neutral and bright colors. Plus, Furla’s price point is firmly in the budget-friendly under-$500 bucket.
If a classic leather bag is on your shopping list, you’re going to love this stash of Furla bags I found at Saks Fifth Avenue’s online outlet. They currently have in stock 52 handbags, totes, and wallets, all marked 40% off retail price. There is a lot to choose from, so I picked my five favorite classic bags in can’t-miss colors to share with you. Check them out…
1. Furla D-Light Saffiano Leather Tote Bag, $178.49 (was $298.00)
This leather tote is absolutely perfect for commuting to work. The roomy 12”W x 12”H x 5.5”D size will hold files, papers, and even a tablet. The protective feet will give a little extra cover while schlepping it to and fro, and the 9” drop in the double top handles will accommodate your bulkiest coat. Plus, it has a secure top zip closure, which I’ve found is kind of rare for large totes.
2. Furla Ellen Leather Satchel, $238.49 (was $398.00)
This sophisticated oversized satchel comes in at 18”W x 12”H x 7”D – even larger than the tote, but with a more refined shape. It’s available in three gorgeous neutral colors: off white, dark grey, and black.
3. Furla Glam Saffiano Leather Pochette, $136.49 (was $228.00)
This is by far the smallest of my picks, but it’s also one of the most useful thanks to the removable shoulder strap, which can take it from cross-body to clutch in a snap. It’s available in basic black and a rich red shade.
4. Furla Elena Saffiano Leather Bag, $239.00 (was $448.00)
I’ve never been a big fan of red, but even I have to admit that this Cabernet shade is absolutely gorgeous. It’s also available in dark grey and bright pink, but the red version is definitely the stand out.
5. Furla D-Light Medium Leather Satchel, $134.99 (was $248.00)
White leather accessories always strike me as having a super luxe vibe. I think we all subconsciously process how difficult it is to keep white leather clean and factor that into our instant evaluation of the look. I don’t mind the mental shortcut – this bag is beautiful. If you are still wary of white, you can also get this bag in dark brown and bright pink.
