If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you know that I might be the last influencer who doesn’t own a Chanel or Louis designer bag. I’m very hard on handbags, and I’ve never been able to forget what an expensive bag costs, so I end up babying anything over $250. Luckily, there are a number of fantastic bags in the more affordable price points that I can knock around without worry.
With chevron-quilting and a roomy interior, this mid-price crossbody bag from Quince is a fabulous piece. The Quince brand creates affordable pieces that are sometimes shockingly well made. It’s not often you see a full leather bag for under-$150. And the selection of colors is everything you need for a better-than-basic bag.
I also remove the strap and use it in my laptop as a pouch when I travel. My only complaint is that the strap is a little thin. Not to worry though, you can pick up an after market canvas or leather strap if it bugs you.
Quince has a lot of great bags in mid-price points. I like this pebbled leather sling bag for a “fanny pack” look. And I picked up this money clip-wallet for my husband.

I was JUST looking at this Quince bag the other day! It’s gorgeous.
Also, I forget if you recommended the Killed podcast here or on Instagram but thank you for that!! I’m hooked.
I also have this bag and really like it! Agree that the strap is too thin – thanks for the reminder that I can easily fix that problem.
I also have this purse in Cognac, and I love it. Like Abra, I am very hard on my purses and so I don’t buy purses that are more than $400. I’m also a working mom lawyer on the go and so crossbody purses are my go-to. The quality of this purse for the price is excellent. And I personally like not being a walking billboard for a brand, so I like that it’s simple with no branding.
In general I have a lot of quince items. I think I bought a silk blouse based on a CHS feature and then started buying other clothes. The clothes – nice staples – are a very good value and quality for the price. I wore two fishermen sweaters all through the winter and they held up to washes in the washer like champs – much better than my Free People ottoman sweaters. ????
This is an old post but maybe you still get the comments Abra? I’m thinking of getting the dark taupe one but really want a wide nylon strap that’s understated….any leads?
