Are you a teen looking to buy a purse or a handbag? Whether you like girly styles or more classic bags, there's a fantastic carryall for you. It's hard to narrow down all the amazing handbag designers out there, but I tried to find some of the best choices of bags for teens. Here are some of the top handbag designers for teens:
Dooney & Bourke

Dooney & Bourke has been in business since 1975, so it's no stranger to producing great leather handbags with superior quality and craftsmanship. Within the last few years the brand has also focused on a younger teen customer, creating lines with colorful logo prints and playful graphics with multicolored zippers, and they've even collaborated with Disney for some Mickey Mouse and character-driven bags. Emma Roberts, Hayden Panettiere and Lindsay Lohan have all modeled for Dooney & Bourke, so you know that the young Hollywood set is a fan!

Originally known for their watches, the Fossil brand has expanded tremendously and now includes a variety of great handbags and purse accessories in both soft leathers and fanciful prints. Prices range from about $35 for a wallet to $58 for a printed fabric crossbody and $238 for a large leather handbag.
GUESS

World famous for their denim and jeans, GUESS and GUESS by Marciano have now also become recognized for their purses and accessories. Many of their bags use logo denim to keep the GUESS label close-at-hand, but they also do fashion shapes and carryalls like flower-adorned top handles.
Juicy Couture

Originally created by Pamela Skaist-Levy and Gela Nash-Taylor - wives of bandmates in the group Duran Duran - the Juicy Couture label was meant to appeal to young, fashionable ladies "who like stuff." Beginning with the must-have velour and terry sweatsuit separates, the label rapidly expanded to include clothes, jewelry, accessories - and of course, handbags. Pink and girly details often dominate the look, so if you love to be feminine, you'll adore Juicy Couture!
