With the boom in e-commerce, there is a rich source of bags on the Internet. One can find both branded .ones as well as those from local artisans. Here is a compilation of 6 credible websites that offer a healthy variety at reasonable rates. Of course, apart from these one can buy goods directly from the company websites – such as lavieaccessories.com, hidesign.com, etc.
1. 
Poshbags essentially stocks up the David Jones bags, which is a French bag maker. They have good discounts going on at the moment and also offer free shipping. They also offer a 30 day replacement guarantee. The collection here is rather good.
2. 
This is the quintessential bags website that deals with the whole gamut – from clutches and wallets to backpacks and suitcases. They have free shipping too with a 14-day return policy, cash on delivery and free cancellation. An interesting feature is the EMI option they have on almost all products above a certain threshold, especially since they house a good number of branded goods. A special brand I would like to mention here is the Treasure of Thar that has colorful and ethnic bags from the land of Rajasthan. A glimpse:

Flipkart is one of the most trusted websites in India with multiple lifestyle product categories such as health, books, beauty, kitchen etc. Right now, they have a 30% off going on all bags, belts and wallets. Being based out of Bangalore, their delivery times in the city are lightning fast. Shipping, however, is not free for purchases below INR 500.
4. 
This is another multi-product fashion and lifestyle store. Though the number of brands are comparable with the other sites above, the prices are higher. Also, they have a higher threshold for free shipping – INR 999 and above or a charge of INR 79 below that. They do have an EMI facility though the 6-month EMI option has a processing fee associate with it.
5. 
Yet another fashion and lifestyle store. Good collection of bags, as of other items. They offer free shipping, cash on delivery and have a 30-day return policy. The only drawback I see is that they have DTDC as one of the shipping partners. I have had bitter experiences with DTDC on two occasions – where the items did not reach me at all. Repeated attempts to have them trace the items or refund the money went in vain. There is no ownership of issues and the staff behave as if it’s none of their business – someone ‘else’ goofed it up.
6. 
This has the look and feel of the local Indian market – with world-class products on sale. Artisans all over India sell their wares here, hence one can find plenty of handicrafts here. In bags too, there is a large ethnic range to choose from, apart from the regular bags – picture this, they have jute feeding bottle covers and cotton embroidered cell phone covers as well.
