In an ideal world, every occasion would have its own signature bag—something that reflects your mood, complements your outfit, and suits the moment. While most of us don’t have wardrobes brimming with endless options, there’s a certain charm in owning bags that effortlessly adapt to the many demands of daily life. Instead of following rigid “rules” (one for work, another for weekends), why not embrace a bag that works for errands, dinners, or even a quick weekend getaway?
Below is a carefully curated wishlist of 10 practical handbags under £300 (many under), proving you don’t need to spend a fortune to find an accessory that fits into your lifestyle.
