Great day, everyone!
Today, I’m sharing with you my recent visit at my favorite local outlet mall here in Northern Virginia: Potomac Mills.
If you’ve been reading Hip Mama’s Place for a while, you know how much I love shopping at Potomac Mills. It’s got over 200 stores, including my favorite ones: Neiman Marcus Last Call, Saks Fifth OFF 5th, Bloomingdale’s – The Outlet Store, Kate Spade New York, Ann Taylor Loft and more! This mall also features 25 eateries for when you need to grab a bite to eat while you’re shopping, plush seating areas and the huge AMC Potomac Mills 18 Theaters where my family and I go to watch the latest movies!
Annual Handbag Sale Potomac Mills Mall
Recently, I was invited to check out the mall’s Annual Handbag Sale and I was thrilled to go! Not only do I get a nice excuse to go shopping for the day at one of my favorite places to shop, I also get to check out the awesome handbag sale!
During my visit, I immediately went to my favorite store, Bloomingdale’s – The Outlet Store, where I know I’ll find my favorite handbag brands and styles on sale! Let me tell you, the one thing I love about shopping at an outlet mall like Potomac Mills is getting a bang for my bucks! The handbags are already on sale at 25% to 65% off, but with the in-store promotions from these participating retailers, you’ll save another 15% to 40% on top of the already heavily discounted handbags. Now, how awesome is that?
Oh my, there were so many lovely handbags to choose from – all at prices I’m happy to pay for! I’m very picky when it comes to shopping for accessories like handbags, shoes and jewelry so I was at the store for almost two hours. Eventually, I opted for the really cute and stylish Rebecca Minkoff Marlowe Mini in Navy/Tan/Black multi color cross body bag. I love it, and I got it at the Bloomingdale’s – The Outlet Store at Potomac Mills!
What’s In My Bag?
I’m not too crazy for oversized tote bags or satchels, although I do have a few of them. For this summer, I wanted a small handbag for those quick shopping trips or lunch or dinner dates I do with my family. So my Rebecca Minkoff Marlowe Mini cross body bag is just perfect! Now, what would you find in my small summer handbag?
I don’t like to carry too much in my handbag but my absolute must haves include my pressed powder, lip gloss, sunglasses, my iPhone, a pen and a small change wallet. Depending on how long I will be out, I will also have a small sunscreen spray, a facial mist and a lip balm to protect my face and lips from over drying under the sun, and a travel size hand lotion.
I’ve worn my cute Rebecca Minkoff Marlowe Mini cross body bag a few times since I bought it and I have gotten many compliments from family and friends. Can you believe I got this bag from Potomac Mills for under $100 (normally $265!)? This is my “IT” bag for the summer and I am super happy with my purchase! And you guys, you need to run to Potomac Mills now to find your own “IT” bag for the summer, while it’s still on! Remember, the Annual Handbag Sale at Potomac Mills is only good until June 30th.. so hurry and go!
I also went to ALDO’s to get my teenage niece a new handbag for her upcoming birthday. I’m sure she’ll love what I picked for her. This store also carries an amazing line of trendy handbags, shoes and accessories and the prices are very easy on the pocketbooks!
So, if you’re in Virginia, or planning to visit the Potomac Mills now through June 30th, don’t miss out on the Annual Handbag Sale at Potomac Mills and find your next “IT” bag for the summer!

In my purse, I must have my sunglasses, my lip gloss, pressed powder, sunscreen, small hand lotion, hand sanitizer and gum. I love this handbag sale. I’ll be the first to go if this mall is close to me. Thanks for the chance to win!
I always need the essentials in my bag. Essentials include sunscreen, chapstick, sunglasses, hat, water/drink, snack, book, and cash! That really will satisfy me wherever summer takes me 🙂 If I have more room I’ll throw in some gum, a blanket, and my camera.
I love the coach hobo bag! In the summer I always keep my cell phone, chap stick, sun block, sun glasses and a bottle of hand cream in my bag. All of the bags are really cute!
I would love to get a new handbag. My top 5 summer must haves I carry in purse are sunscreen, wet wipes, sunglasses, lip balm and tissues
My ideal summer “it” bag would be the Le Pliage expandable travel bag. The summer must have items in my purse are sunscreen, lip balm, water bottle, hand sanitizer and hair ties. I love spending the summer months doing as much as I can outdoors because the weather the rest of the year can be so unpredictable.
I was lucky enough to find my it bag at a yard sale a few weeks ago. It is the perfect size to carry my phone, lip balm, spare charger, wallet, and a small makeup case. Best of all got it for a great price.
That sale looks amazing!! I’ve always been partial to Coach bags so my ideal summer bag would be one in a fun bright color. My top handbag must have for summer lip gloss, sunglasses, deodorant, bottle of water and my wallet.
I don’t have any bags. My summer items if I did carry around a bag would be sun screen and a towel. Also I would carry around my wallet, mints, pen and kleenex all of the time.
As a single working Mama with 2 jobs, my bag must be DURABLE enough to act as a purse and babybag but fashionable enough for me to look HIP while carrying it! I love bags with long flexible handles and prongs on the bottom to help keep it clean!
My summer it bag would be a coach hobo bag.I always keep chapstick, wallet, lotion, sanitizer and coupons in my handbag.
I love shopping for handbags and especially so when they are on sale. This sale event is right up my alley.
This is cool! I’m sure you’ll find lots of deals here. I used to live somewhat close to Potomac!
That looks like a great handbag sale. I am not so much into handbags. I could make do with what I have. However, I know my wife’s cousin would love to know about this sale. I’m sharing this post with her.
Holy smokes! That’s a lot of handbags. My wife just picked up a couple that she really likes, so I think I’m safe from needing an addition this year :p
I grew up going to Potomac Mills Mall. I remember thinking it was the biggest mall out there. I still go every now and again and take my kids along for the shopping marathon.
I have so many handbags that they practically need a closet of their own! But sales like this one always makes it tempting to add another addition to my growing collection. 😉
My biggest weakness is bags and shoes! Man would i love to visit this mall so i can go shopping! We may be visiting VA soon for my husbands job but perhaps we can swing here so i can get a little shopping done!
Oh wow, this mall has so many great stores!! This handbag sale sounds so amazing, I wish I lived in the area!! I would definitely go and check it out!
I would love a handbag sale. lol. I could use a couple more purses!
Shopping, a Sale and Handbags!!! Yes Please!
Isn’t it such a great deal!?! I have Grapevine Mills nearby and heard about this sale. For a gal who loves a handbag like me, I can’t wait to shop!
Who doesn’t love a great handbag sale?! I wish I was in the area so I could stock up!
I SO need a new purse! I wish this was closer to me as I see a few in your pics I would scoop up!
Hand bags, you can never have too many of them. The first bag that caught my eye was the Cockatoo (maybe it’s a Cockateil) anyways, it is adorable!
I like the Rebecca Minkoff bag! I didn’t notice on your blog if there’s an online option to purchase?
Now this is my type of sale! I think handbags make the perfect accessory to complete an outfit.
What an amazing excuse to go shopping! I can never choose just one handbag so this would be the perfect time to shop with all the amazing deals!
Wow, what an awesome place to save some money. I think I could live there!
I think you may have found heaven on Earth. Great article!
I love this time of the year because many stores have their semi-annual sales. I just went shopping this past weekend at my local mall and scored some good deals!
Man, I would have no money left if I went to that sale! I love buying pretty handbags so much!
AAAAHHHHH! This is the best sale EVER! There are so many awesome bags to choose from.
I would be coming out with so many handbags. You can never have too many right?
I think that would happen to me too! It would be hard to decide on just one.
I so wish I lived closer! This looks like a great sale!
My gosh these are such cute handbags. I need a new one and I would love to give one to my mom for Christmas. You obviously know how to shop!
I could definitely appreciate some of these handbags! Pink gets me EVER time!

Ok, seriously. I need that green purse in the 3rd pic from the bottom. I actually could use a few of the ones you show! I love me a good handbag, and a sale to boot – I’m IN!
OMGOODNESS!!! I would go just stock raving mad at this sale lol! I would break the bank I am sure. If I lived there – my husband would have to put me under lock and key to keep me away from that sale!
What a great deal! I need a new bag but haven’t had time to shop. Thanks for sharing, this is a great deal!
Potomac Mills looks like they have just abou everything. I could use a good shopping day!
This is definitely a good time to change up the style for summer. It will be fun to see what handbags they have!
I love bag sales! I need a new one but have to wait a bit! TJ Maxx is the best.
With over 200 stores Potomac Mills sounds like my kind if mall. I need a new bag for summer. This is an amazing sale.
Loving those handbags! I need a new one for summer! I’d love to go visit a shopping center like that!
Hooo boy. I’m glad we don’t live nearby. My wife would MURDER a sale like that. LOL She loves a good hand bag, and she can’t say no to a deal. 😉
Awwww yeahhh. Now that’s the sale for me. I have a bit of a hand bag obsession so I LOVE this!
I’m drooling over all these bags! I need a new purse. I bought one recently, but I don’t like it so I’m looking for a new one!
Handbag sale? I need to get there for that. I would be in heaven!
Now how did you know that handbags were my weakness? So many great looking handbags to choose from. Yep I would be in trouble.
I need a new handbag! What an awesome sale and it looks like a great place to shop! This makes me want to go shopping now and find a new bag for summer.
Who wouldn’t want to shop in a place with so many choices! That’s really awesome and I love that there’s a sale on handbags at the moment! It would be nice to take advantage of that sale! SO COOL!
I just got a handbag at the Coach Outlet in Gettysburg, but this sale sounds worth visiting Virginia for soon!
That looks like a place I would love to spend some time…and money! Hahaha! I love the Rebecca Minkoff bag! She has the most beautiful purses! I love them because they are so stylish without the heavy logos that so many brands use and her site has the best sales!
Oh handbags how they will be the death of me. I can say that I’m a handbag addict and I’m not afraid to admit it.
That Rebecca Minkoff bag is too cute. Thanks for the adorable inspiration. I’ve been on the hunt for a new purse.
