I love bold colors and freaky trends just as much as the next girl, but nothing beats the practicality of a black bag. Black purses go with everything, are essentially seasonless, and are always worth the investment.

With that being said, designers and retailers alike are constantly churning out new handbags, so today, I am here to update you on the best selection of black purses, period. From the dreamiest Chanel bag to a cute '90s shoulder bag you'll never believe is from Amazon, I can guarantee there is something in here for everyone.
Meet the BY FAR bag everyone is trying to get their hands on.
Certainly one of the most identifiable bags of the decade.
If you're looking for a bag worth investing in, look no further.
