5 Affordable Purse Brands That Straight-Up Look Like Luxury
As much as I wish I could get my hands on every new designer bag (I'm talking about you, Bottega Veneta Andiamo), it most certainly isn't in my budget right now. But just because I can't spend too much doesn't mean I can't add an A+ bag to my collection. There are a variety of bags in all price ranges, and if you're looking for luxe bags at a more affordable price point, then you've come to the right place. These brands are better than your average fast-fashion selects but still less than some contemporary brands on the market.
Below, you'll find five handbag brands that Who What Wear editors love and are constantly wearing and featuring in stories. The best part? The options below are all mostly under $250, which you won't believe when you see how good they look.
1. JW Pei
I own a few of JW Pei's bags, and people never believe me when I tell them how much they were. The brand designs fashion-forward bags that are perfect for the person who likes to change it up often when it comes to accessories.
2. Mango
We already know Mango is the best location for trend-forward items and luxe-looking basics, but its handbag selection is worth looking at. Editor approved and under $150—what more could you want?
3. Madewell
Madewell has always been known for its quality basics—ranging from vintage-inspired denim to classic penny loafers. Now, however, the retailer has handbag offerings that will quickly become staples in your wardrobe.
4. Charles Keith
Back when I was in college and used to readBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing on the daily, I discovered Charles Keith. This brand is perfect for those with a minimalistic aesthetic, as its designs include unique but simple elements that draw attention, like gold accents and asymmetrical shapes.
5. Anthropologie
I used to associate Anthropologie with the bohemian aesthetic, but its latest selection of bags says otherwise. While you'll still find bags within that look, you'll also find a great collection of timeless and trend-forward bags to choose from.
