While not every outfit needs a purse, most of them do! We all have that one everyday bag that we bring EVERYWHERE we go, but sometimes, it’s just nice to switch things up a little to match your fit. Say you’re going for a simple jeans and a t-shirt look today – you might wanna add a pop of colour to your outfit with a bright coloured bag; but if you’re going for an all-black outfit, you might wanna get something that compliments your monotone look.
However, finding a quality handbag at an affordable price point can be a challenge – you don’t want a cheap quality bag that will only last you a couple of months while it’s still in trend, and you don’t wanna spend a huge chunk of your savings on a bag just because of its designer label. Here, you’ll find the best affordable bags that will make you look *expensive* without breaking the bank.

With fashion trends coming in and out of vogue at a dizzying rate, it can be hard to pin down what kind of bag won’t go out of style. ‘Cesia’ by Charles & Keith is the perfect timeless and minimalistic bag that will be in your style rotation season after season. The design is simple yet effective, giving you that ‘old money’ feel that many people have been trying to emulate recently.
Mew Mews Elvira Clear Glass Bag
