All the Black Friday handbag deals you should snap up today – think shoulder bags, clutches, totes and cross-body styles

I have something to confess; I am a handbag collector. Some might call it an obsession, but I call it investment. The types of bags I like aren’t exactly easy on the purse strings, though, which is why I tend to wait for all the Black Friday handbag deals to come about each November – and this year is set to be full of them.

Like a lot of us, I don’t have much of a disposable income and therefore can’t afford the latest launch from top designers each month (a girl can only dream). I spend my free time watching websites like Vestiaire with eyes like a hawk for second-hand classics, but for newer releases I stick to the sales. The key is to know which websites stock the brand you’re after and keep tabs on them for when they drop their Black Friday discounts. This year, fellow handbag-loving friends, you’ll be pleased to know that your next piece of arm candy may just well be at a fraction of the price.

While I’m partial to a discount code, especially when it comes to spennier items (here’s praying for the day when Chanel starts handing them out), it’s a lot easier when Black Friday arrives. Rather than copying and pasting endless coupons before checkout, you can just *add to cart* on the websites that hold Black Friday handbag deals and the reductions are automatically applied. Dreamy.

When is Black Friday 2021?

TODAY! It falls on the 26th November this year, with Cyber Monday falling on the 29th, and LOADS of handbag brands are taking part.

What are the best Black Friday handbag deals?

ASOS stocks over 850 brands and a lot of them are your go-to for accessories such as handbags. The ASOS Black Friday sale has up to 80% off to be had. The Liberty Black Friday sale has up to 30% off handbag stalwarts such as Stella McCartney, Nanushka, Maison Margiela and Mansur Gavriel. Need we say more? Places such as Very and La Redoute can have hidden gems too – just look at this AllSaints tote bag and this Lauren Ralph Lauren shoulder bag in their Black Friday deals!

Also worth notable mention is websites like John Lewis, Farfetch, Net-A-Porter, Selfridges, MyBag and Coggles. They ALL have major discounts. This year, Farfetch is taking part in Black Friday with a massive 50% off sale, and Net-A-Porter with 30% off (with the code BLACKFRIDAY), so shoppers can get their hands on tons of top designer handbags at hugely discounted prices. John Lewis is committed to their statement of being ‘Never Knowingly Undersold’, which means that they match competitor prices all year round – Black Friday included. Selfridges even has that Coach Tabby Pillow bag on sale for 20% off, just use the code SELFCCE.
