Just because we’ve entered the last month of summer doesn’t mean that should stop us from adding to our collections of apparel and accessories. With the heat still in full force, we’re finding ways to embrace the warm season so we thought we’d elevate our designer bag lineup. Since the late 1800s, women have been fabricating the finest beaded bags incorporated with intricate and unique designs. Back in the day, reticules – a purse with drawstrings or chatelaine handbags – were often decorated with glass beads that came in a variety of shapes and sizes.
In today’s fashion community, designers from all over the world have incorporated their own styles into the iconic beaded bag. From alice + olivia‘s Zoey Wooden Beaded Bag to Cult Gaia‘s Cora Beaded Bag, the options are endless when it comes to this type of silhouette. In our latest roundup, we’ve narrowed down the best affordable designer beaded bags under $300 USD.
