I’ve dreamed of owning a designer handbag my whole life, but I’m still a long way away from being able to afford one. Luckily, more and more affordable brands are coming out with high-quality bags that rival the look and feel of designer bags for a fraction of the cost. In fact, there are dozens of options under $100 that could fool even the most highly-trained designer connoisseur. I pulled together 12 gorgeous handbags, crossbodies and totes that are all available on Amazon. With any of these, you could walk down Rodeo Drive and fit right in with the multi-millionaires and their Birkins!
Best Affordable Handbags
1. Better Than Hermes? If a Birkin is out of budget (relatable) this Dasein bag looks eerily similar with its square shape and top handles. Plus, you can choose from 30 color options — was $71, now just $50!
2. Two in One: Sure, this vegan leather handbag looks like it came straight out of a Ralph Lauren catalog, but I’m obsessed with the fact that it comes with a matching wallet — just $50!
3. Closet Staple: Need a trusty everything purse that goes with any outfit? This little shoulder bag (that happens to be an Amazon bestseller) fits the bill and it’s under $20 — just $16!
4. Patent Leather Moment: For those special nights out, why not complete your outfit with this eye-catching patent leather handbag that comes complete with gold hardware? No one will believe it costs less than $500 — just $50!
