Bags are one of the first things I browse ahead of a new season because a) I love them and b) they are a power piece when it comes to transitional outfits. Adding a suede or leather bag in a seasonal tone is one of the easiest ways to take an outfit that’s by all accounts summery and make it feel fresh for fall.

Back in May, I shared summer handbags worth investing in, and I’ve been dying to do it with fall 2022 handbags, but this time with a twist. While I’ll always recommend spending more on something well made that you’ll have for years, I recognize that luxury price points aren’t always realistic or desirable (and are rising!). So this roundup includes the best 2022 fall handbags for a variety of budgets.

Below you’ll find 20 options under $200, $500, and $1,000, plus a few pricier options if you’re ready to invest in something extra special. Here’s what made the list!
