Not all sales are created equal, and when bargain-hunting, it’s best to remember that if you didn’t love something at full price, it’s probably not worth buying it at a discount. We know that you’re busy with friends and family and keeping your teenage cousins out of the leftover turkey, so we did all of the searching for you on this beautiful Black Friday. From a bag from The Row that originally retailed in the mid-four figures to a Milly bag that’s been marked down to under $200 (but was still a steal at its original price), here are the bags that we’ve been fawning over since they first debuted, now on sale for your shopping pleasure.

The soft tan leather makes for an easy-to-wear shoulder bag, and the long shoulder strap is precisely what I adore in a saddlebag like this. Just in time for winter tweeds and browns, the color of this bag will also easily transition into spring wardrobes because of its light hue. While the inside is not entirely lined with suede, there are suede accents along with a stamped canvas lining. Finishing off the bag is a magnetic fastening tab for the fold-over flap. It has been a while since a Mulberry bag stood out on my radar, and the Evelina is quite cute. Buy via Net-A-Porter for $935.

It’s so easy to become completely jaded to the prices of handbags after you’ve been buying them for a couple of years, but when you stand back and look at it, a grand or two for a handbag really is an enormous amount of money, objectively. When you consider that even most big brands are assembly-line produced in a way not dissimilar to how much less expensive bags are made, an occasional bout of price frustration is not only understandable, but probably indicative of a healthy mental state.

When that happens, it’s nice to take a moment and remember that there are brand like Milly out there, making very stylish bags with price tags in the low three-figures. The Milly Victoria Bags are just the latest in a string of successes for the brand’s neophyte handbag line, and they’re very much worth noting.

At first I thought that perhaps the engraved metal straps and buckles were a bit too much like the Mulberry Tillie for my taste, but on further reflection, I don’t really care so much about that similarity. The overall feel of this design is less casual than Mulberry’s aesthetic, so the chance that one would be mistaken for the other is slim.

I do hope that the kink in the chain of the Milly Victoria Mini Flap Bag is smoothed out on the models for sale, and if it’s not, that’s a dealbreaker. As it is, though, the contemporary market is still alive and well, and these brands often make some extremely covetable bags. You just have to look a little harder, but you’ll save some money for your effort. Buy through ShopBop for $230 for the clutch or $285 for the crossbody.
