Minimalist Bags Everyone Needs in Their Closet—Quiet Luxury Styles From $40

I am all for loud animal prints and bold gold hardware but there’s a time and place (and outfit) for maximalist accessories. Minimalist bags, on the other hand, are the timeless style you’ll never tire of. 

A simple clutch or sleek shoulder bag is luxe, versatile, and won’t get relegated to the back of your closet after just one season. And while the simple look is definitely on trend right now more than ever, it was never out of style—nor will it be. That’s the entire point. 

You also don’t need to spend $1,000+ on a style to nail the aesthetic. We found plenty of high-end designs for every budget, and Amazon alone is teeming with handbags that look so much more expensive than they are.
