Top Target Store Handbags

By Desiree Stimpert, About.com

A trip to any local Target stores will let you know that great-looking handbags don't have to cost a fortune. With contemporary styling, and great prices, here are just a few of the bag styles you'll find at your local Target store, or at Target online.

1. Target Rocks Laptop Bags

Being more dishevelled than I care to admit, I covet items that allow me to dream of the organized person I know I could be -- hence, my obsession with laptop bags. What could be a better way to turn over a new and neater leaf, than by scoring a cute accessory that's also practical? Target has a great selection of notebook bags, ranging from funky and fun, to styles that will fly in even the most corporate of environments -- and with prices ranging from $20 to $50, they're a good deal to boot.

2. Evening Bags & Handbags for Special Occasions

If you're a bit strapped for cash the next time a special occasion rears its head, head to your local Target store for some of the cutest and most affordable evening bags around. Suitable for proms, weddings, or nights on the town, there is almost always a style for any occasion or outfit, and you can't beat the prices, as some bags are priced at just over $10.

3. Target Stores = Tote Bag Nirvana

It wasn't until I got a little older (and aquired more stuff) that I learned to appreciate the attributes of the tote bag. Shopping at Target probably schooled me a little too, as they have such an amazing selection. Having bags from Isaac Mizrahi and Target's own lines mean there's a tote for every age group and every personality -- even those of us who were late to join the Tote Bag Appreciation Club.

4. Shoulder Bags Abound at Target

I love bags of all shapes and sizes, but I must admit I'm a bit partial to roomy bags with long shoulder straps. If you like a bag that can shoulder the weight of all your "must haves," you'll love Target's choices in long shoulder bags. If the length of the strap is of utmost importance, I really recommend checking them out at your local Target store -- it's difficult to gauge length from a picture on a web site.

5. Top Handle Handbags for the Traditionalist

And if it's simply a handbag you're looking for, of course Target has you covered. Satchels, hobos, and roll bags are all well represented; and in typical Target fashion, the styles and the prices are spot on.
