The 9 Best Handbags From H&M Right Now

published 17 June 2024

I don't know about you, but I've never associated H&M with handbags. I've long relied on the affordable retailer for summer dresses, office-ready blazers, and cozy loungewear, but it's never really crossed my mind to shop H&M for purses—until now.

Part of my job as a fashion editor is to stay abreast of new arrivals at our readers' favorite brands, which certainly includes H&M. During my most recent scroll on the retailer's website, I noticed an interesting theme: the handbag selection was surprisingly top-notch. H&M's accessory section is killing it with its pitch-perfect blend of trendy, wallet-friendly pieces. Scroll down to shop the best H&M handbags for summer 2024.

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
