It's pretty hard to trick me when it comes to prices. A perk of shopping for a living is that I can spot the difference between cashmere and a polyester blend from a mile away and find good vintage in a thrift shop with one look at each circular rack.
But even the most highly trained professionals slip up sometimes. More and more lately, I've been spotting handbags that I could swear cost $800, $900, or even $1000+, price-tagged for far less. Affordable brands like JW Pei, Charles Keith, and Mango have seemingly upped their game in the accessories department, so much so that I've found myself struggling to decipher which bags to mark as a splurge and which are a great deal. Of course, when the latter are in the majority, it's never a bad thing. More handbags for us.
Keep on scrolling for a bevy of under-$150 bags that if I hadn't checked the price and checked it again, I would've vowed that the brands all forgot a zero (and then some).
A statement that most definitely should be made.
The '90s called, and it said to buy this $14 bag immediately.
Mod.
This is a work of art.
I didn't know I needed an olive-colored bag until I saw this one. Now, I have three.
This hardware is beyond chic.
Yes, yes, and yes.
Just the right amount of color.
Instead of your normal, boring market tote.
A beauty.
See what I mean about looking expensive?
The perfect vacation bag.
An adjustable strap is such a bonus.
If you're not usually a tote person, this will be the one to change your mind.
A color beyond any color.

Simple doesn't have to mean boring.
It's true, I am a sucker for red bags.
The perfect add-on to any outfit.
This bag is selling like crazy.
Loving this two-tone look.
You'll carry this around 24/7.
Doubles as a pillow.
Okay, so technically, this bag is exactly $150, but I couldn't help myself.
A classic choice.
I am in love with this bag.
Is there really even a question of whether or not you need this bag?
Please say yes to this two-toned bag.
The prettiest shade of blue.
