Finding a stylish and elegant purse that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg is more than difficult. While there’s nothing more I love than the look of a vintage Prada, a sleek Gucci, or a timeless Chanel bag, I have curated a list of affordable and elevated purse options for you that won’t break the bank.

Charles & Keith

No gatekeeping allowed on this page! From shoes to bags to jewelry, Charles & Keith has the most trending dupes and sophisticated looking products for a very reasonable price.

The Label

The high-end but affordable brand, The Label, offers over 30 pages of dupes for many highly sought after purses, such as vintage Prada and Gucci, Saint Laurent, Celine, Balenciaga, Kurt Geiger, and Bottega Veneta. With purses ranging anywhere from $100-$150, they are more affordable than a designer bag, but still sustainable and long-lasting.

Bird in Bag

This is a brand that I have recently come across, but has quickly become one of my favorites. Bird in Bag offers a variety of purses such as crossbodys, shoulder bags, totes, and evening clutch bags, most for under $50.

Mango

I love the brand Mango, but it wasn’t until I discovered their bag selection that I became even more of a fan. Mango mostly offers a variety of wallets, cardholders, and coin purses, including a wallet dupe for the famous Coach cherry collection.

JW PEI

From crossbodies to shoulder bags to wallets and cardholders, JW PEI has a huge selection of purses to elevate your every day, or for a special occassion or a night out. In even better news, their bags range from anywhere between $50 to a little over $100.
