Must read

Straw totes are a summer staple, and tiny bags had a moment earlier this year. But if you’re looking for a classic option that will stand the test of time, black purses are the way to go. They look good with every outfit, they work for every season and they’re always in style. If your go-to handbag looks a little beat up, head over to the Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale stat: Tons of gorgeous designer picks are up to 60% off.

Nordstrom’s Half-Yearly Sale is one of those epic discount events where products from brands that rarely get marked down finally reach wallet-friendly prices. For instance, right now, shoppers can score a classic DKNY hobo shoulder bag for under $90. And this festive Marc Jacobs purse, perfect for a special occasion? It’s nearly $150 off!

As an avid Nordstrom shopper — it’s my job, after all — I know these designer styles won’t last long. So don’t wait to see whether Santa leaves you a new handbag under the Christmas tree — treat yourself while these timeless picks are on sale and in stock.

The crescent-shaped shoulder bag is an iconic style, but the nubby faux shearling on this one makes it special. And though the bag may look small, it’s actually pretty spacious on the inside. It opens wide so you can easily fit a wallet, smartphone, cosmetics and more.

If you need a bigger bag that fits all your daily essentials, grab this roomy DKNY satchel while it’s more than $70 off. Made from vegan leather that looks and feels like the real thing, this tote comes with two straps — one to carry the bag in your hand and another to wear it on your shoulder. The inside has two main compartments plus a zippered section in the center.

This not-too-big, not-too-small satchel has more than enough space for a tablet, notebooks, important papers and more. Even better, it’s made from durable pebble leather that can withstand being tossed around in the car or jostling with strangers on a crowded subway car.

Discounts on Tory Burch’s bestselling bags don’t come around often, so grab this one while you can. The glossy finish on this top-handle bag makes it feel extra elegant, but it’s still practical enough to carry every day. 

Shoppers give it 4.7 out of 5 stars, with one fan noting, “It’s very cute and it fits my iPhone 13 and a very small wallet. The leather is nice and smooth. The handbag is made well and very sturdy.”

If you’re willing to splurge, then take a cue from shoppers who give this buttery-soft shoulder bag a perfect five-star rating. It can be worn two ways — on the shoulder or in hand — and the front clasp ensures the contents inside are always safe and secure. “This handbag is so lovely that I purchased it in two colors. The leather is beautiful as you would expect from Rebecca Minkoff,” one shopper wrote.

One of the best markdowns hiding at the Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale? This cute crossbody that’s more than $400 off! It’s made from delicate vegetable-tanned leather, which does show wear over time, but that’s part of the charm. Also, take note of the measurements: It’s just over 6 inches wide, so it’s definitely on the smaller side.

If you want to add some pizzazz to a simple black dress, look no further than this sparkly, rhinestone-covered bag. You can carry it using the chain strap, but it’s also petite enough to use as a clutch. “Bought this as a present, and let me tell you, that receiver is obsessed,” one satisfied shopper wrote. “[It’s] such a cute bag! Love the shimmer!”
