Every editor has their soft spot, that one thing they keep rebuying or won’t stop collecting despite the fact they already own a "similar” item. For me, that just so happens to be handbags. Name the type of bag (mini bags, clutch bags, secondhand designer handbags), and I own it. While I can stake the claim as a bag expert, I’d be lying if I didn’t admit that my taste can be a bit over-the-top compared to most people. (For example, I can rationalize buying a crystal chair handbag that holds nothing.) Knowing this, I set out on a more logic-backed pursuit to inform my next purchase: the actual data that would back up my editor’s intuition about the most popular handbag brands. That’s right. I wanted receipts to verify that my obsessions were not without merit and thatBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing ’s stylish readers were buying these bags, too. Luckily, our incredible in-house data team was able to pull stats on the most popular handbag brands based on clicks and purchases. Strap on that crossbody—we’re getting gritty with the details on every popular handbag brand that readers and editors are actually buying from.

1. Staud

I had a hunch that Staud was one of the most popular brands among our readers, and our data team confirmed this inkling. Based on our seasonal trend guides and handbag shopping guides that included the label, we were able to see that Staud was the second most popular handbag brand with our readers based on click-to-conversion rate—meaning people not only clicked our shopping recs over 10,098 times, but they also secured the bag.

2. Coach

Editors instinctively knew that Coach was making a comeback, but Who What Wear readers have proven that the brand is officially back and more popular than ever. Of the designer handbag brands from the data set, Coach bags included in stories have driven thousands of clicks since the beginning of the year.

Some brands create the low-key It bag of the moment, and according to our stats, Simon Miller has that It factor. One particular style (its Vegan Puffin Bag) was one of the top-converting handbags with our readers. It’s safe to say this brand isn’t going anywhere.

4. Brandon Blackwood

As an editor, I know for a fact that some brands burst onto the scene while others slowly build their popularity. The latter is the case with the handbag brand Brandon Blackwood. With the reader click-through rate rising steadily since the beginning of the year, it’s only a matter of time before Brandon Blackwood becomes the It brand of the moment.

5. Cult Gaia

At least once a month, I find myself drooling over and seriously debating buying another Cult Gaia handbag. Apparently, I’m not the only one. After pulling stats, it’s clear that the brand has one of the highest click-through rates. If you needed an excuse to buy a Cult Gaia bag, consider this your permission slip.

6. BY FAR

It seems like only yesterday we predicted that BY FAR would be the next big handbag brand, and we were right. Just this year alone, it has been worn by the Hadid sisters,Best Knockoff Luxury Clothing editors, and our readers. Basically, BY FAR continues to be the It brand of the moment.

7. Telfar

Editors and the fashion set alike have long been fans of the handbag brand Telfar. But its most recent rise to popularity has been hard to ignore. After all, what other bag has been championed by celebrities like Beyoncé and continues to sell out minutes after it’s listed? If you can get your hands on this bag via Telfar or secondhand, then let’s just say you’re one lucky person.

8. JW Pei

When it comes to popular handbag brands, no other brand is doing it quite like JW Pei. Its bags have been spotted on icons like Emily Ratajkowski and Hailey Bieber. But don’t be fooled; the grip goes beyond the runway. Its vegan bags are trendy and affordable, making them ripe for street style snaps, and they were purchased hundreds of times by our readers. If that doesn’t sell you on this cool brand, I don’t know what will.

9. House of Want

Another affordable handbag brand that’s popular among the fashion set is House of Want. With affordable shoulder bags, clutches, and crossbody bags all under $100, it makes sense that this brand earned thousands of clicks from our readers. It’s well worth the hype, if you ask me.

10. Charles Keith
