Old Navy has always been the go-to for affordable jeans, easy basics, and family-friendly fashion. But now? The brand is stepping into a whole new accessory game — handbags. And not just any handbags. Old Navy’s debut collection, The Bag Shop, is designed under the creative direction of Zac Posen, and every single style rings in at under $50. Yes, you can now score a chic, fall-ready tote, crossbody, or clutch for the price of a nice dinner out.
The Zac Posen Touch
When Old Navy named Zac Posen chief creative officer in 2024, fans wondered how his red-carpet sensibility would translate to an everyday American classic. The answer? Luxe-looking lines, textures, and silhouettes that feel elevated without the designer price tag. “Every detail was carefully chosen with clean lines, great proportions and materials in mind,” Posen says in a press release announcing the collection.
The bags are made from soft faux suede and faux leather, with finishes ranging from sleek solids to croc textures, color-blocking, and even animal prints. In short: high-fashion energy at budget-friendly prices.

The first handbag drop is divided into three mini collections, each with its own personality.
The Carrie Collection
Old Navy’s most classic lineup, with structured totes and versatile crossbodies that could pass for something you’d see on a Parisian sidewalk. Standouts include the roomy Large Carrie Tote, the practical Medium Carrie Tote, and the Convertible Carrie Crossbody — a must-have for running errands or commuting.
