Black Purse Styles for Every Day

Black is the easiest color to wear. A black purse works with denim, neutrals and dressier looks, and it hides everyday scuffs well. This edit brings together black handbags in many shapes, so you can find the one that suits your routine. Start with our handbags if you are unsure. Whether you want a polished office bag or a relaxed weekend carryall, there is a black style here for you.

Choosing the right size and what fits

Compare product dimensions in inches and centimeters with what you carry. A bag about 9 inches (23 cm) wide fits a phone, wallet and keys. Around 12 inches (30 cm) you can add a water bottle. For an A4 folder or a 13 inch laptop, choose a tote bag of 14 inches (36 cm) or wider. Heading to work with a laptop? Browse our work bags. Think about weight too, and choose a strap length that sits comfortably on your shoulder through a long day.

Material and care

Most black bags in our range are vegan leather (PU), and the product page names the material of each style. Black shows dust and lint, so wipe your bag with a soft damp cloth and dry it with a clean cloth. Keep it away from heat and from dye transfer, such as new dark denim, and stuff it lightly when you store it. A quick wipe at the end of the week is enough for most bags.

Pockets and closures

Look for inside zip pockets, slip pockets for your phone and secure closures like zips and magnetic snaps. A detachable strap lets one bag work as a shoulder bag or a crossbody bag. If you want a warmer neutral to alternate with black, take a look at our brown bags. Gold or silver hardware changes the mood, so choose the finish that matches your jewelry.
