Consumer goods are one of the top-selling categories at every Black Friday sale. And Black Friday 2023 will likely be no exception, with many early bird discounts and branded offers on men’s, women’s, and unisex handbags designed for casual outings and formal meetings. This is the best time to buy premium-crafted handbags and accessories. Here are the top 10 types of handbags that might have huge discounts based on the previous Black Friday’s sale trend.
1. Shoulder bags
Shoulder bags are the standard go-to handbag. Functional design and the many features are the main reasons shoulder bags are one of the bestselling products in the handbag category. Shoulder bags have a long strap, multiple zipper compartments, and ample space to store all necessary products and consumer electronics. Customers got sitewide discounts of up to 60% on top-branded shoulder bag products last year.
2. Tote bags
Tote bags feature some of the largest designs when it comes to handbags. Usually, tote bags are square or rectangular and come with a wide bottom capable of storing multiple things. These bags also have two large handles that make it easy to carry the heavy bag once it is filled up to the top. The handles also double up as shoulder straps, so consumers can distribute the weight of the bag across their shoulders. Based on the previous year’s sale, customers can expect up to 70% off on a popular range of tote bags.
3. Satchels
Satchels are smaller tote bags with a more fancy and sophisticated design. One thing in common with the tote bag is the wide bottom, but unlike the bulky design, satchels are smaller in size and come with various compartments to store things. Satchel bags are ideal for carrying small electronics for school, work, or even travel, as they come with a secure zipper or strap design. Satchels are mostly made with premium leather materials, which are quite convenient to carry daily. Popular branded satchel bags went on sale last Black Friday and had prices slashed between 10% and 25%.
4. Hobo bags
Hobo bags are a unique cross between tote and satchel designs, with a spacious interior and a secure exterior. These handbags feature a wide shoulder strap and a big opening at the top with multiple zipper-locked compartments. Everything from clothes and grooming kits to small-size consumer electronics can fit neatly into a hobo bag. It is one of the most popular types of handbags generally carried for short trips. Based on last year’s deals, customers can expect up to 50% off select products.
5. Bucket bags
Bucket bags have a unique design with an open-end top and a bulky bottom, so the handbag looks like a small bucket. Some designs do feature drawstrings that can temporarily zip up the top. This handbag is suitable for carrying vanity items and grooming products for a day out during travel or on vacation, eliminating the need for a full-size backpack. Last year, customers got up to 60% off popular bucket handbags and accessories.
6. Clutch bags
Clutch bags are perfect for special occasions owing to their elegant designs. In fact, people love to wear clutch bags that match their outfits. Imagine a purse but without the shoulder strap; that’s the most basic design of a clutch bag. Sometimes, they can be inconvenient to carry, but they are a popular style statement for handbags. Last year, customers got their hands on some of the most coveted clutch bags, starting at just $35 across popular brands.
7. Crossbody bags
Crossbody bags are an elegant cross between a small clutch and a pouch, featuring a zipper compartment with a long shoulder strap. Unlike fanny packs, crossbody bags can carry multiple things, are nicely separated into compartments, and are quite elegant to wear over smart casual and streetwear. Men and women can wear unisex crossbody bags available in a variety of designs and material combinations. Last year’s sales indicated a sitewide sale of up to 25% on select products.
8. Messenger bags
Messenger bags are another popular type of handbag featuring a unisex design. These bags are often used for formal occasions like going to work or meeting with a client. The medium-sized rectangular design of the bag simplifies carrying things around in the zipper-divided compartment, a better upgrade over backpacks on any given day. In fact, all types of portable consumer electronics like iPads, smartphones, chargers, power banks, and laptops can fit comfortably without making the bag look too bulky. Last year, customers got up to 30% discounts, with some brands and sites offering an additional 10% off on the first order.
9. Purses
Purses are the smallest and most convenient to carry for small handbags. The simple rectangular design often features multiple slots and closes with a zipper or buckle. Fancy purses even come with a wrist chain or thin shoulder strap. Though these handbags are small, there is still plenty of space to carry cash, multiple cards, and essential documents, conveniently placed in each separate compartment. Purses without straps usually go inside other large-size handbags for additional safety and convenience. The previous year’s sale had discounts of up to 60% on some of the top brands purses.
10. Baguette
A baguette is an accessory that never goes out of style. The bag’s design has been inspired by the small and narrow design of baguettes, a French bread. But when it comes to utility, the baguette is a sure winner; it was featured in several popular movies and sitcoms of the 1990s. Based on last year’s sales, customers can expect sitewide discounts of up to 20% on popular clearance products.
