To give a bag for Christmas, start with your budget, then her style. Under €30: a small leather accessory, such as a pouch or a keyring. Around €60: a grained-leather mini bag. Under €100: a hobo bag, a suede tote or a mini bowling bag. Above that: a statement bag she will carry every day. And if you really can't decide, a gift card.
Giving a bag means giving something she will use every day, at the office, at the weekend, on a night out. It is a lovely present, as long as you get it right. Here are our ideas, sorted by budget, with the prices shown on the site on 15 October.
Before you choose: three questions to ask yourself
- Which colour does she wear most? Look at her coats and shoes. If she wears a lot of black, a black or chocolate bag is a safe bet. If she loves colour, burgundy and camel are winter favourites.
- Small or large? If she takes a laptop to work, she will appreciate a large size. If she already has her everyday bag, she will love a small bag for the evening.
- Which style? Classic, rock, romantic? A detail like laces, studs or iridescent leather changes everything.
Under €30: the little gift that delights
For a colleague, a friend or an add-on present, go for small leather accessories. The Tictoc Glow pouch in pale gold, in metallic leather, costs €20. Whether for pens or make-up, it brings a little sparkle to the bottom of her bag. The Etoile Glow keyrings, in iridescent leather, are €9.90 and can also be worn as a bag charm.
Around €60: the mini bag
This is the ideal budget for a sister, a best friend or a student. The Lolly, at €59, is a rounded mini saddle bag in grained leather, worn on the shoulder or crossbody. It comes in a wide range of colours, from black and chocolate to pastel yellow and South Seas blue. Big enough for a phone, keys and a card, it goes from brunch to dinner.
Under €100: the bag that gets noticed
In this range, you can give a real bag. A few ideas:
- For the one who loves softness: the Eva, a roomy suede hobo bag, at €69.
- For the one who carries everything: the Tokyo, a large suede tote that takes A4 files, at €79.
- For the one who loves going out: the Sandstorm Mini in iridescent black, at €89. It has all the details of the full-size Sandstorm in a 25 cm width, carried by hand or crossbody.
Over €100: the gift she dreams of
For a gift from a partner, or a group present from friends, choose a statement piece. The New Princess XL in iridescent black, at €139, has become one of our it-bags: a bowling bag in subtly metallic leather, with gold-tone details, two adjustable handles and a zipped central pocket. It will go with her from university or the office to evening plans.

Still unsure? The gift card
If you don't know her taste, the Oh My Bag gift card is the elegant answer. You choose the amount, from €20 to €150, and it is sent by post in an envelope, with the message of your choice on the back. It can be used in one go or several.
One last detail: gift wrapping is available for €4.90 directly from your basket, with a recycled cotton pouch that will then keep the bag free from dust.
Your questions
What bag do you give a woman who already has lots of bags?
Give her what she doesn't have yet: often a small evening bag, a different material such as iridescent leather or suede, or a seasonal colour like burgundy. A gift card is still a good option if you don't know her collection.
Which bag can you give with a €100 budget?
With €100 you can give a real leather bag: an iridescent mini bowling bag, a hobo bag or a large suede tote. Choose the colour based on her coats: black, chocolate and camel go with almost everything.
Can a bag be gift-wrapped?
Yes. Gift wrapping is selected directly in the basket, for €4.90. The bag is slipped into a recycled cotton pouch, which she can reuse to store it.
