Every season that It handbag hits the market, making every head turn with its one-of-a-kind appearance. For instance, currently trending is the Reed Krakoff Boxer Leather Tote with its interesting “boxy” look, surprisingly not overwhelming to the eye. On the contrary, the mellow blend of beige, off-white, and yellow creates a modern yet classic vibe. Whether $1.090 is a justifiable amount to pay, however, is another discussion. For now, check out the alternative!

ALDO “Lakatos” Satchel
On the topic of handbags, I love this ALDO satchel. Signaling a similar vibe as its designer counterpart, I can say that this would be a handbag to purchase. I absolutely love the colors, which perfectly fit in with any wardrobe. In addition to the gleaming look, this satchel is priced at an affordable $55! Also, I’m not sure if it’s just me, but the less boxy shape and more defined structure hints a big of Hermès. What do you think?

This “Party Pouch” by See by Chloé is made to carry your essentials for your off duty mode. Giving you just the right amount of femininity, the soft petal-like detailing contrasts with the darkness of this handbag. Priced at $343.61, arguably, is not overly expensive for a designer handbag but it is not on the cheaper end of the spectrum either. However, we found a look-a-like that is just as bold, and even brighter, that may fit your budget!

Handbag Heaven “Lilly” Mini Shoulder Bag
The brighter colors seem to be more fitting with this “Lilly” Mini Shoulder Bag by Handbag Heaven. The bow strap is so cute and youthful without being child-like in any way. This mini bag seems to perfect for summer and the candy colors coincide perfectly with the petite silhouette. There are several minor differences between this look-a-like and the designer version above, but they really aren’t too noticeable. On a positive note, this pouch is on sale for $42.46!

The eco-conscious Stella McCartney has designed yet another great Chamois Falabella bag made from 100% Polyester, and still exceptionally fabulous. You can carry this roomy shoulder bag to work along with your laptop bag and it will still look great when you meet up with friends or a hot date afterwards. It will even transition nicely into the weekend. And who doesn’t love the hardware detail? That little bit of edge gives off the perfect amount of playfulness on an otherwise classic shape. The original does have a pretty high price tag considering the materials used, but the construction is flawless. Loving the look but can’t afford the real thing quite yet? We’ve got a pretty sweet tentative option below.

Urban Expressions “City Lights” Chain-Trimmed Bag
Urban Expressions is another fantastic vegan handbag brand that carries lots of well-priced styles that look just like high-end designer originals. I would wear this particular bag with a modern silhouette to enhance its urban feel, keeping my outfit tailored and accessories minimal. Some faux-leather leggings and a tunic or some wide-leg jeans and a fitted knit top would work perfectly; especially since the detailed chain embellishment will draw in all the attention you need! Excited yet? Besides black, you can also get it in other colors, too.
