It's the annual Unveiling of the Bags—that time of year when we dig deep into our closets, pull out every cold-weather accessory we stashed away last year, and suddenly remember that red wine spill (or those cat scratches, or that mysterious cigarette burn). But, if last year's go-to black bag is looking a little lackluster, you don't have to spend a fortune to replace it. Here we've rounded up 20 of the best, inkiest purses under $200—from backpacks and bucket shapes to cross-bodies and evening styles.
