Swing Crossbody Bag

COS almost never goes on sale, but the Scandi brand is offering 25 percent off almost its entire site for Black Friday. This leather sling bag is one of the best bags included: It has a wide, supportive strap, a spacious interior, and five shades of creamy leather to choose between.

The Vancouver

Princess Kate’s favored handbags are just the start of what you can find in DeMellier’s Black Friday sale. The 20-percent-off promotion extends to a range of suede, croc leather, and smooth leather bags, each with a strong shape and classic silhouette.

The Zip-Top Essential Tote

Hardworking leather bags are the bread and butter of Madewell's Black Friday bag deals. This laptop tote has an underrated feature so many other bags leave out: a zipper to keep all your essentials protected when you're in transit. The dimensions are also so generous, you could even make it a weekender if you pack light.

Striped canvas tote

Whether you're hauling a laptop and desk snacks to work or a load of fresh produce home from the farmer's market, this canvas Zimmermann bag from The Outnet's sale can carry it all. I would know: I tested it for Bazaar's guide to the best market bags, and found it was a delightful and spacious upgrade from my old canvas tote bag. The Outnet's sale is great for similarly practical-meets-chic finds from contemporary and advanced designers.

Dakota Neoprene Backpack

Dagne Dover is the best brand for bags that keep you organized. For Black Friday, their solutions-oriented backpacks, duffels, and tote bags are all 25 percent off at checkout. This backpack is a lifesaver when you're traveling: Inside, you'll find a laptop sleeve and a pouch for storing a pair of shoes.

Mini Cloud Clutch

Presenting the ideal clutch to take as your plus-one on the holiday party circuit, available in more than 10 shades of buttery leather. It’s just the start of the colorful and steeply discounted bags included in Mansur Gavriel’s Black Friday sale.

Brown Dimple Shoulder Bag

MatchesFashion's Black Friday bag deals can speak to any mood, whether you're searching for a plain leather work bag or a Rabanne party girl chainmail pouch. If your vibe is sleek, slightly Parisian everyday essential, this Elleme shoulder bag is the one. First, it rings up for less than $250. Second, it has a sweet, slightly rounded shape and the softest suede outer.

St. Barths Small Tote Bag

More than 1,300 bags are listed in Shopbop’s major Black Friday sale, from Ferragamo suede hobo bags to cheeky leather shoulder bags by Brandon Blackwood. One of the best deals I uncovered was on this previous Bazaar select for one of the best tote bags overall: a woven, top-handle tote that can stash a laptop and a change of clothes.

Cassie Crossbody 19

Coach’s Cassie landed on Bazaar’s list of the absolute best crossbody bags—and now, it’s one of the best styles included in the brand’s Black Friday sale. It can be converted from a ladylike top-handle bag to a crossbody and back, thanks to a removable strap.

Coconut-Effect Shoulder Bag

Small but mighty shoulder bags are a specialty of Mango's Black Friday sale, where nearly everything is up to 50 percent off. This one is chicly coated in a croc-effect faux leather, with two shades to choose between. The strap is also adjustable, so you can turn it into a crossbody.

Symmetry 19 Woven Bag

If your wardrobe is dedicated to the quiet luxury look, Net-a-Porter has the bag deals your closet needs. Case in point: This gorgeous woven crossbody bag by insider favorite Savette, with an understated box silhouette and a distinctive hardware clasp. Only a few are left in stock—but if you miss it, labels from The Row to Hunting Season have similarly elegant options included in the sale.

Geneva Bag

J.Crew’s enormous 50-percent-off sale for Black Friday has a small but mighty selection of bags. For daytime, there are patent leather crossbodies and suede hobo bags; for evening holiday parties, there are satin top-handle bags like this Geneva style.

Horsebit 1955 Shoulder Bag

Other designer labels in the mix include Bottega Veneta, Saint Laurent, and Max Mara.
