The 10 Most Splurge-Worthy Designer Handbags On Sale Now

There are few things fashion editors love more than an end-of-season sale, like the one happening now at Nordstrom. It's your chance to shop investment-worthy items like coats, boots, and handbags that fall victim to the rigid fashion calendar, which demands shelves must be cleared to make way for new arrivals for the coming season. Lucky for us, that means major savings on items that are just as desirable now as they were three months ago.

To help you sort through the hundreds of totes, clutches, backpacks, shoulder bags, crossbody bags, and wallets in the Nordstrom designer handbag sale, we've highlighted our ten most splurge-worthy designer purses below. Our picks include cult favorites from It-brands like Puppets and Puppets, Homage Year, and Palm Angels, elevated basics from Simon Miller and The Attico, and compliment-earners from Versace and Tory Burch. Think of adding them to your wardrobe as investing in wearable art that you'll treasure forever.
