5. Dagne Dover Ace Water Resistant Belt Bag

At 31 percent off the non-sale price, this neoprene belt bag with four pockets (two with zippers) is the must-buy summer item you didn't know you needed.

Just try to get up in here, pickpockets.

Buy It ($95; $66)

6. Medium Transport Leather Tote

Nordstrom

The 8 1/4-inch drop handle fits over your shoulder, or you can use the web crossbody strap to make this neutral tote hands-free. It's got big pockets to keep you sorted, and the leather is going to get better and better looking as it's worn in. The 34 percent price drop makes this an instant add-to-cart, because even if you have enough tote bags (so you say) this is the sort of gift it's great to have on hand for last-minute birthdays. And it's also on sale in a gorg blue hematite colorway.

Buy it ($188; $125)

7. Coach Polished Pebble Leather Shoulder Bag

Nordstorm

At 32 percent off, this classic Coach bag is a great buy, not least because the chalk colorway wipes clean and endures nicks well, thanks to the quality pebbled leather materials. The dual straps can be detached, so it can be either a shoulder or crossbody; somehow, even lined, this bag manages to clock in at a lightweight 1.85 pounds. It's also available in ever-wearable black leather.

Buy It ($395; $269)

8. Marc Jacobs The Shutter Leather Crossbody Bag

Nordstrom

You'll get so much use out of this mni bag that takes the camera bag as its design inspiration. It has dual zip compartments and an IYKYK covered double-J logo. And the crossbody strap stretches to 24 inches, but you can take it completely off to style this bag with other fun straps or leave the straps off entirely to make this a chic little clutch. And it's currently $135 off.

Buy it ($335; $200)

9. Rebecca Minkoff Chunky Leather Tote

Nordstrom

Think of this as the Goldilocks and Three Bears of handbags (its golden color is even ursine!). That's because this size isn't super mini, like those trendy cute bags that don't allow us to carry too much. And it's also not too heavy for a leather carryall, at just 2.1 pounds. It's just right, with a structured bottom that lets it stand upright on its own, and a zippered top. Add to that an adjustable shoulder strap, at 39 percent off? Add to cart immediately.

Buy It ($328; $200)

10. Hobo Jett Leather Belt Bag

Nordstrom

Lined and leather, this belt bag features antique hardware, as well as an adjustable strap (so it can hit your waist on high-waist trousers as well as more low-slung jeans). At $58 dollars off during the Nordstrom anniversary sale, you'll be scooping up fine leather at synthetic fiber prices.

Buy It ($178; $120)

11. Longchamp Extra Small Le Pliage Neo Bag

Nordstrom

If you're not a Longchamp fan already (and chances are that you are, since PureWow readers love these coated polyamide canvas bags), you will be once you see this new ultra-small iteration of the popular leather-trim, foldable bags. You'll wear the heck out of this bag, now 28 percent off in black and taupe shade.

Buy It ($215; $155)

12. Cult Gaia Eos Beaded Acrylic Box Clutch

Nordstrom

An investment art piece, or happy accessory for every wedding you attend for all time? Either answer is correct with this stunning marbled evening clutch on sale for 25 percent off—that's an $81 savings. It comes in in three colorways including slate, yellow and our favorite, pink; this bag is worth its cost alone in the attention and compliments it's gong to inspire with any dressy outfit.
