If you're a fan of the Chanel 2.55 Flap Bag, which retails around $6,000, you'll love the cheaper alternative. Rebecca Minkoff's "Mini Affair Quilted Bag" has all the same appeal, but with a price tag of just $195.
Not only will the Hermes Birkin Bag cost you a pretty penny, but it is also for sale exclusively in their boutiques and often hard to come by. If you're a fan of this structured tote, then you will also appreciate the Michael Kors 'Large Mercer Tote' which retails for $298. The streamlined look and top carry handles are similar to the hard to obtain Birkin.
You love the Gucci Jackie Shoulder Bag because of its classic yet relaxed style and the ease of the adjustable shoulder strap. The Dooney & Bourke 'Americana Signature Erica Hobo' has all the same characteristics at a fraction of the price. The Gucci Jackie will run you $1540, while the D&B option comes in at $198.
Backpacks are making a major comeback! The Prada 'Vela Large Two-Pocket Backpack' is a very stylish option that will cost you around $990. Sharing a similar style, the LeSportsac 'Villager' retails for $120. We think they are both fabulous options depending on your price point!
A crossbody is a great option for those days when you want something on the smaller side, yet still big enough to slide your wallet, keys and smartphone into. The Fendi Baguette, which retails for $2,000, is great for this because of the top flap which provides easy access to your essentials. The Kate Spade 'Cobble Hill Marsala Crossbody' provides you with the same accessibility at just $258.
