Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale has officially kicked off! The late summer sale technically started on July 12 for Nordstrom credit card holders, but the deals opened up to all shoppers on Wednesday, July 28. Now, everyone can find their favorite clothing, shoes, home goods and more, all marked down.

However, if there’s one standout from the sale, it’s the handbag deals. A great handbag can totally transform any look. And unlike new clothes, a handbag can be worn every day for years to come. (Plus, you don’t have to worry about whether or not it’s going to fit when you order online.)

So, if you want to refresh your closet, whether you’re heading back to school or to the office, invest in a good handbag. Right now at Nordstrom, select handbags are up to 50% off, so it’s the perfect time to shop.

Take a look below at some of the best designer bags marked down during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. And make sure to head to Nordstrom’s website to shop the entire sale before it’s over on Aug. 8.
