Trending designer bags on sale in the Memorial Day Sales
From clutches to oversized totes, chain accents to practical oversized bags, Balenciaga to House of Want. These are the hottest designer bags in the Memorial Day sales. Once they’re gone, they’re gone so if you love it…life’s short, buy the bag!
Designer clutch bags trend | Top sale picks
From structured clutch bags as seen on the Louis Vuitton runways and at Cult Gaia to Bottega Venetta’s more relaxed shape pouches the clutch trend is holding strong. These designer clutches are all in the Memorial day designer bag sales with up to 50% off.

The Balmain crossbody bag in this edit is actually 3 purses in 1. The front logo-ed purse snaps on and off so it can be used as a clutch or crossbody bag. The 3 separate pouches makes keeping everything organized easy. It’d be brilliant for both city breaks and poolside. If you want just the front logo pouch part, that’s also sold separately and on sale.
If you’re looking for something more dressy, Fendi and Cult Gaia are fabulous options.
10 chain accent designer bags on Sale for Memorial Day
Chain accents were seen all over the runways at Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Long Champs, Ports 1961 and Elizabetta Franchi. Chain accent bags will always be one of those classics that’s always in style. There’s lots fab versions in the Memorial Day designer bag sales from Fendi, Ferragamo, Balmain and more. Including 1 Chanel bag on sale but there’s only 1 left so jump on it!

Designer top handle bags
The ever so ladylike top handle bag is back in 2style and doesn’t interfere with our shoulder pads or statement shoulder tops. I’ve included blacks and tans that are perfect for Fall and Winter as well as lighter colors for Summer.
A lot of these designer bags on sale have both top handles and removable shoulder straps. I tend to carry my top handle by the handle most days. Then use the shoulder strap to turn it into a crossbody bag for days I’m in cities or on the tube.
Memorial Day sale rattan and woven purses
Rattan and woven bags are such a fun and cute look for Summer with their fresh light colors and beach vibes. Cult Gaia is one of the more reasonably priced designer bags on sale. It’s gathered quite the ‘cult’ following this year with some of my favorite styles. The one below also has a bamboo and chain strap if you want to wear it as as shoulder or crossbody bag.

Pro tip: always try wearing your wicker, woven and raffia bags with a cheap shirt or outfit first to make sure it doesn’t pile your clothing before wearing it with the outfit you’re planning on wearing it with. I had a super cute round raffia shoulder bag one year that destroyed my romper the first time I wore it.
Oversized totes and bags
The bag every woman should own at least one of. There’s nothing more practical than a large tote for holding our entire lives on an everyday basis as well as for traveling. It’s one of those designer bag styles worth investing in as it’ll get so much use.
Pro tip: just because the bag is large, try not to overfill it or put too much weight in it. This will help to preserve its shape and help prevent the handles stretching out.
