Cyber Monday Handbag Deals 2023: The Totes, Crossbodies And Clutches The ELLE UK Team Are Hoping For

For most of us, keeping up with the hamster wheel of must-have designer bags is a completely unrealistic (and undesirable) task. While social media might make you think otherwise, most industry insiders and influencers don't have a walk-in wardrobe full of every single big-name handbag: rather, we choose wisely, invest sensibly, and love every purchase we make for years to come.

Months of watching Vestiaire Collective price drops and endless eBay searches can sometimes be fruitful in connecting us with classics, but if you want to snap up a newer release, it's a savvy move to wait for the sales. And thankfully, where once we might have had to wait for Boxing Day for discounts, we've now adopted the American tradition of Cyber Monday, meaning that you can get your hands on presents that were otherwise out of your price range (or better yet, finally gift yourself the bag that suits your main-character energy).

You'll be pleased to know that, as more and more retailers join the discounting scrum, this year's Cyber Monday handbag deals are likely to be better than ever, with stores and e-tailers poised to bestow you with discounts on that entire shopping list.

Forget faffing around in the internet's underskirts looking for discount codes, coupons and vouchers in the hopes of inching closer to a Prada Cleo. A whole host of amazing retailers are hosting Cyber Monday sales this year, so your next designer handbag purchase could well be just around the corner.

When is Black Friday 2023?

The annual Cyber Monday sales are upon us – Black Friday itself was November 24, but many retailers maintain their offers well into today, so now is the time to prep your wishlist.

Huge brands take the opportunity, in the lead up to Christmas, to slash their prices by up to 80% (yep, we've seen it). Even resale platforms have begun to get in on the action, with major second-hand purchases coming in at even better prices. These days, the Black Friday sales are a much bigger deal than even the traditional Boxing Day sales. And often the best items will have long sold out before Christmas, so waiting for Boxing Day could be a major mistake.

Below, we'll keep you up to date with every deal and discount, as soon as we receive the intel. In the meantime, we'll bring you any early bag deals we think are genuinely worth your cash, too.

Mytheresa

SHOP MYTHERESA SALE

Mytheresa was the sleeper hit of Cyber Monday fashion deals last year, and it'll be the first place we click onto once this year's sales arrive. Last year, we scored designer steals from the likes of The Row, The Attico and Peter Do at up to a ridiculous 70% off. This year, we've got our eyes on totes from the likes of Bottega Veneta, Prada and Gucci. If you prep one wishlist this year, do it here.
