20 Designer Makeup Bags (Because Your Products Deserve the Best)
Sometimes it’s the little things that bring us the most joy. And in this case, we’re talking about makeup bags (aka the unsung heroes of any good accessory collection). Sure, splurging on a designer bag for your beauty products may seem a bit indulgent, but cosmetics cases are essential for staying organized—so why not invest in one you really love? Plus, consider the cost per wear: You’ll basically use it every day, and the right bag will last for years.
If you’ve been thinking of upgrading your makeup bag, prepare to be obsessed with these 20 options. Whether you use it at home, for travel, or simply keeping your purse organized, they’re sure to add an extra dose of glam to your day. Oh, and versatility alert: Many of these styles can also double as designer clutches, which is especially handy for travel. (We love a good two-in-one!)
1. Gucci
On the outside, Gucci's signature green-and-red stripe and iconic double-G logo hardware. On the inside, plenty of space for all your best makeup products.
2. Versace
Pretend your home is the Versace mansion with this fun printed pouch.
3. Coach
The pebble leather is easy to clean, while the signature C logo will make your middle-school self jealous.
4. Saint Laurent
The leather on this is divine. Also, this can easily double as a clutch.
5. Loeffler Randall
BRB, throwing this adorable Loeffler Randall case in my gym bag immediately.
6. Prada
Prada’s classic nylon accessories will never go out of style, so you’ll use this makeup bag for years to come.
7. Burberry
8. Tory Burch
Join the Tory Burch renaissance with this minimal makeup pouch. We're feeling the understated '90s energy.
9. Fendi
10. Anya Hindmarch
Opt for this pocket-filled vanity case when a smaller pouch just won’t cut it—it’s large enough to hold your full-size skincare and then some.
11. Celine
12. Cuyana
We're very aligned with Cuyana's motto of fewer, better things. It doesn't hurt that this makeup set also looks five times the price.
13. Emilio Pucci
Not everyone is comfortable with playful patterns in their wardrobe, but why not have a little fun with your cosmetics case?
14. Aerin Beauty
This cute raffia pouch is begging to be brought to the beach. Luckily, it’s big enough to fit sunscreen, wave spray, and all your other summertime essentials.
15. Brunello Cucinelli
This bag is certainly the quiet luxury pick of the bunch.
16. Tumi
Hanging toiletry bags are always ultra convenient, and this one from the beloved luggage brand doesn’t skimp on style.
17. Isabel Marant
It’s technically a clutch, but it also happens to be the perfect size for storing makeup. Use it for both—we don’t make the rules!
18. Ulla Johnson
This makeup bag is masquerading as a party clutch, and we're not mad at it.
19. Balenciaga
20. Loewe
The savviest shoppers also take a peek in the men's section. This Loewe toiletry case would be perfect for your makeup.
