No outfit is complete without a gorgeous handbag that ties it all together. Picture this: the luxe feel of genuine leather, turning heads and making a statement — all without that sinking feeling in your wallet. I’ve put together a list of high-quality, gorgeous Italian leather handbags for you from online retailer Quince. The best part is they’re all affordable leather handbags under $150. So come on and get cozy with a warm beverage and let’s dive into the fabulous realm where style meets savings in this roundup of my favorite Quince purses.
First, let me (re)introduce you to Quince. I first heard of Quince last year but didn’t actually order from them until 2023. I try not to have high expectations when ordering from new places, but I was impressed with Quince’s generous return policy and decided to go for it. Much to my surprise, I was super impressed with their jewelry and cashmere and wrote a Quince review on those items I hope you’ll check out for more background on the brand.
I quickly placed a second order for one of the affordable leather handbags that caught my eye. I went with the Italian Leather Quilted Crossbody Bag. It shipped via FedEx directly from Italy and showed up on my dad’s doorstep in just a few days (US shipping only for the time being). It’s soon become my go-to purse and I’m proud of myself for choosing a color I’d typically not buy… something other than black.
Here’s why I like these affordable leather handbags from Quince:
- The price. The quality for this price is unmatched. The Quince leather is stunning and stitched well. The hardware like the zippers and chains are really high end.
- The styles are incredible. Great selection in not only the shapes and functionality but the colors too. There are so many beautiful casual bags that don’t take themselves too seriously.
- 365-day window for returns and free shipping.
- Unbranded exteriors with no logos. All of the Quince handbags feature plain leather that’s free of branding.
No matter what color, size, or style purse you’re after, Quince purses are absolutely worth a look. Here are 11 of my favorite affordable leather purses:
Affordable Italian leather handbags from Quince
1. Italian Saffiano Leather Envelope Clutch
Wow, it’s time to take your nights out up a notch with this classic style that got a sleek upgrade thanks to the 100% Italian saffiano leather. The bag features six interior card slots and magnetic snap closure, making it practical as well. This will be your go-to clutch for any night out.
2. Italian Leather Quilted Convertible Crossbody
This Quince handbag is giving me YSL Loulou vibes but for a fraction of the price. This convertible crossbody is made of buttery Italian lamb leather quilted into a chevron pattern and has a luxe chain strap. If black is what you’re after, you can pick from a gold or silver tone chain. Speaking of the chain, it’s adjustable so wear it as a shoulder bag or as a crossbody.
3. Italian Leather Triple Compartment Shopper Tote
Every woman should have a versatile leather tote in her closet. Use it for work or play because this timelessly chic tote has enough space for everything. The interior lining is easy to clean and a feature I love is that there’s an interior zipper for a 13-inch laptop or whatever you want to keep zipped away. This one makes a great personal item for travel as well. The toughest part is deciding what color to buy.
4. Italian Leather Quilted Crossbody Bag
This bestselling beauty is the first affordable leather purse I bought from Quince. I went with Dark Taupe and LOVE this crossbody bag. It’s one of my first small handbags and is the perfect size for a lunch date or errands. Right out of the box, the Italian leather caught my eye and smelled so good. It hasn’t let me down since and has been in regular rotation.
5. Italian Leather Pouch Crossbody Clutch
This silhouette stood out to me and absolutely deserves a spot on my list of affordable leather handbags. This purse with a cloud-like design features Italian leather and it’s big enough for all of your essentials. Wear it as a crossbody bag or remove the strap and carry it as a clutch.
6. Italian Leather Mini Bow Bag
How cute is this one? If you want to make a statement with your Quince handbag, this mini bow bag is for you. It looks so high end. FYI, if you aren’t in a bow kind of mood, it’s removable along with the chain strap.
7. Italian Leather Circle Crossbody Bag
If you’re looking for a unique affordable leather handbag, this circle crossbody is it. It’s made of Italian leather like all the others and has a roomy interior and adjustable strap.
8. Italian Pebbled Leather Sling Bag
Sling bag, fanny pack, belt bag…. whatever you call it, just get one. Sling bags like this leather option are so IN right now. I’m a big fan of wearing them across your chest for easy access and they sure beat purses that always slip off your shoulder. This one’s great if you’re always on the go.
9. Italian Pebbled Leather Phone Crossbody
Minimalists, this one is for you. Just big enough for your phone and a few other small items, this phone crossbody comes with pockets inside for your cards and is perfect for a few quick errands. The only trouble is picking which of the seven colors you like best!
10. Italian Leather Shoulder Bag
Slouchy and soft, this hobo shoulder bag is crafted in Florence and comes in four color options. Just swing the roomy bag over your shoulder and you’re good to go for the whole day!
11. Italian Leather Small Triple Compartment Satchel
If you like an organized bag instead of dumping everything into one big black hole, this triple compartment satchel is what you’ve been waiting for. It’s incredibly classy and is perfect for the office. Looking for something bigger? Here it is in large (and still comes in under budget).

Hi Diane,
This post was so yummy and exciting until I discovered that Quince doesn’t ship to France.
(Maybe make a note that it only ships in the US? Maybe Canada?
Dang girl! I will take a look next time I am back in California
Diane says
Ahh sorry!! Yes, US only!
