Michael Kors Outlet's Labor Day sale is filled with under-$80 steals on totes, crossbodies and more

"Labor Day discounts are still a few weeks away, so scoring a designer bag for more than 75% off is definitely a needle-in-a-haystack type deal," says Commerce Initiatives Director Jeanine Edwards. "Macy's is running a last-chance handbag clearance sale, but even those discounts top out at 70%. And over at Amazon, the best you'll find is 48% off this satchel. If you're looking for the lowest prices on the web, Michael Kors Outlet is the place to shop, and this crossbody is one of the best steals up for grabs right now."

If you're looking for a simple, classic Michael Kors bag, go with this 80%-off crossbody. It features the brand's signature logo imprinted on coated canvas, has a soft leather trim and leather strap, and plenty of room for your essentials. It comes in brown, white and black.

It's one of the brand's most popular picks with nearly 2,000 five-star reviews. "I love this little bag. It’s perfect for my wallet, keys, and glasses. The outside pocket on the back is tight and holds my phone well. Very happy!" said a super-satisfied buyer.

If you're a multitasking modern woman who needs her hands free for important tasks like wrangling kids or responding to emails, then you need this crossbody in your collection, and it's marked down 78%. The long strap stays put across your shoulder without digging, and the bag itself can easily accommodate a wallet, a smartphone and your keys. 

One fan called it a "beautiful bag perfect for everyday use," while another added "[it's] great for the girl on the go."

Need something large for lugging a laptop or tablet? Go with this gorgeous green shoulder bag that's more than $250 off for Labor Day. It's made from durable Saffiano leather that won't scratch or scuff easily, and there are four interior sections to maximize storage and organization.

"A great 'everything' tote," one shopper commented. "[This is the] perfect-sized bag to hold a 13-inch laptop, files and all of my accessories. [It has a] cool zippered pouch in the middle. The shoulder straps are the perfect length, not too long or short. Color is gorgeous!"

OK, so maybe there's no way you can justify another handbag. You just don't have the closet space. I get it, but how about a wristlet? It's compact enough to fit inside a purse you already own, but also practical enough to use on its own for quick errands. This timeless leather style is currently more than 70% off, and it's great for school pick-ups and drop-offs, plus last-minute grocery runs. It has plenty of space for cards, an ID and cash, plus a lipstick or lip balm.

Not all totes have to weigh you down, you know? This nearly 80%-off, pint-sized cutie is more roomy than it looks, according to shoppers who've purchased it.

"I have been looking for a small bag to take on day trips that was large enough to fit essentials. This turned out to be the perfect size and has really deep pockets on the inside," one customer explained.

Another added, "This is such a beautiful bag. It is spacious and versatile. I can carry it as a crossbody, or it can be held by handles. It is not a very [big] bag, but still holds a lot of stuff and doesn’t look like a small bag. It is lightweight and beautiful."

Hate carrying a purse? This nearly 90%-off card case can stash your cash and cards (with a clear pocket for your ID), and buyers report you can also put your keys, lip balm and other tiny essentials in it. At 4.5 by 3 inches, it'll fit in a pants or jacket pocket, or wear the chain around your wrist when you're running errands or at an event that doesn't allow big bags. 

Looking for a neutral accessory that will look good with anything in your wardrobe? The search is over. This beige bag is big enough to fit your phone, wallet, keys, sunglasses — maybe even a mini e-reader. Take it sightseeing on your next vacay or just to run errands around town. Like others on this list, it's nearly 80% off right now. 

"The ombre design is so pretty in person," said one bag buff. "Super chic, but still goes with everything. It’s a great size too! Fits all my stuff without being bulky. ... I’ve gotten a bunch of compliments already. Definitely happy with this one."

Trendy styles are a fun way to add a little life to your wardrobe, but you'll never regret investing in something classic like this cute and compact Michael Kors crossbody that's more than 80% off right now. There are two straps to choose from — everyday leather or an elegant gold chain. Plus, it's made with high-quality leather, has minimal branding to keep it "rich-mom" chic and has enough room for your phone, credit cards and ID. Choose black, pink or cream, because a gal's gotta have options!
