13 Cool Bags Under $50 That Look Way More Expensive

If you’re anything like us, then you know the value of a quality handbag. However, more likely than not (again, if you’re anything like us), you aren’t too keen on the idea of handing over your entire paycheck for the next It bag. Not to worry—you don’t have to spend a million dollars to look as if you did. Whether you’re on the hunt for a new purse to be your go-to work bag or you want to add a new statement piece to your wardrobe, there’s something for you that won’t break the bank.
To prove our point, we searched the web for some of our favorite bags, and not one of them is over $50. Considering the cost per wear, your new bag will practically pay for itself, not to mention that it’ll pull any outfit together. With bags that look as deceptively expensive as these, no one else will believe how much money you’re saving.
