Nordstrom’s winter sale kicked off today, offering up to 40 percent off of apparel, shoes and accessories — including designer handbags.

There’s a lot to be said about a great handbag: It should be versatile, big enough to hold the essentials and accent your outfit.

One trend we love for on-the-go gals is the belt bag. Over the past year or so, belt bags (another name for fanny packs) have been deemed cool again. You can go the classic route and wear one around your waist or across your shoulder like a seat belt. The Small Patricia Visetos Belt Bag by MCM is on sale for 40 percent off in cognac and beige, and could take your look from running-errands-casual to street-style chic. It also comes with a strap for wearing as a crossbody. (Get the matching MCM wallet for 30 precent off!)

Shop: MCM Small Patricia Visetos Belt Bag, $417 (Orig. $695)

Another handbag style we’re loving is one with a chain strap. Chains were a big trend at New York Fashion Week this month, and we can’t get enough of the edgy detail.

While a handbag doesn’t have to be designer to be great, Nordstrom’s sale selection from Marc Jacobs, MCM, Ted Baker, Rebecca Minkoff, Rag & Bone and more are unmatched.

Here are 10 more designer handbags we’re crushing on in Nordstrom’s winter sale. And just a heads up: The sale will go until Feb. 23, but if history is any indication, these bags will out fast.
