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).
