Autumn’s Affordable Designer Bags to Love

Autumn always feels like the perfect excuse to refresh your bag collection. I love finding pieces that are stylish, practical, and affordable – because who doesn’t want a chic bag without overspending? This season, I’ve rounded up some of my favourite bags under €500 that combine elegant design with everyday functionality. From sleek leather shoulder bags to cosy suede totes, these are the ones I’d reach for on any autumn day.

1. Aesther Ekme Sac Mini Suede Tote Bag

I adore the minimalist charm of Aesther Ekme. The Sac Mini tote is crafted from soft suede, giving it a luxurious yet understated look. Its compact size is perfect for carrying just the essentials, and the versatile top handles or shoulder strap make it easy to wear in different ways. I love how the magnetic closure keeps everything secure while maintaining that clean, polished silhouette.

The Horse always nails effortless style, and the Lottie handbag is no exception. Made from smooth leather, it has a structured shape that elevates any outfit. I particularly like its simple yet refined design – it’s practical enough for daily use but sophisticated enough for a more dressed-up look. The adjustable strap means I can wear it crossbody or over the shoulder, depending on my mood.

Staud’s Owen bag is a real statement piece. The suede finish feels rich and seasonal, while the modern silhouette keeps it current. I love the structured shoulder strap and the subtle details that make it unique without feeling over the top. It’s perfect for adding a touch of luxury to casual autumn outfits or complementing a smarter ensemble.

5. Manu Atelier Le Cambon 20 Camel Suede

Manu Atelier’s Le Cambon 20 in camel suede is one of those pieces that perfectly captures quiet elegance. I love its warm, neutral tone and clean, compact shape – it’s refined without feeling too polished. The soft suede and minimal structure make it ideal for both casual days and evenings out.

The top handle and removable strap mean I can wear it however I like, and the beige lining with a zipped pocket keeps everything neatly in place. It’s the kind of bag that feels timeless yet modern – a subtle statement that works with almost anything in your wardrobe. It’s also available in a few other colours, making it easy to choose one that suits your style.
