It's happened—I have that itch that one gets in February when it's too cold to move and all you want to do is buy pretty things to wear when it's warm. You know the feeling, and that's probably why you decided to read this story. I love to buy spring bags, in particular, because unlike a dress or swimsuit, I can start to use them while it's still freezing.
Designer bags are certainly lovely, but you really don't need one to look chic this spring. There are plenty of affordable bags that no one will be able to guess the price of. The key is to shop for ones that have simple hardware (or none at all) or ones that are made of vegan leather or fabric that makes it hard to guess how much it cost.
You probably know where this is going, but three of the places I love to shop for affordable spring bags are Zara,Replica Store, and Amazon. They have wide selections and both basic, everyday options and fun, playful ones. There are already plenty of bags to choose from for spring so I combed through and selected only the most stylish and expensive-looking ones. You know what to do.
Zara
Jacquard always looks expensive.
A raffia bag is another way to trick them into thinking it's expensibe.
Just imagine all the compliments you'll get.
I'm obsessed with plissé fabric right now.
This cute quilted bag can be worn crossbody.
I think I'm going to need it in this color too.
You've gotta admit that this looks very expensive.
I wouldn't be able to guess how much this cost, would you?
I'm in love with this frayed fabric and the half-chain strap.
Sometimes all you need is a phone, a key, and a debit card.
Amazon
I'm tempted to order this in every color.
This would look so cool with spring pastels.
This was an immediate add to cart for me.
Grey croc just feels right for spring.
I love how simple and clean this bag looks.
Just for fun.
Even the name of this is cute.
This looks like a vintage score.
I never get tired of scrunchie handles.
It's cute and it's $9, so why not?
Nordstrom
A black bag you'll actually want to carry in the spring.
The fact that this bag is named after Clueless makes it even better.
A little pricier than some bags on this list but just look how polished it is.
The perfect daytime clutch.
I love the tortoiseshell chains on this pretty bag.
What's not to love with this simple, modern bag?
The leather just looks so buttery.
Bubblegum pink is the name of the game this spring.
Nordstrom shoppers are singing the praise of this classic bag (just check the reviews).
