It Seems Like Each and Every Celebrity Is Shopping These Under-$550 Bag Brands

You know what they say: Money doesn't buy class. When you have as much class as these celebrities, you honestly don't need a designer bag to prove yourself for any sales associate or business opportunity. The It girls of this world have proven that style is all about taking risks and having fun, and I like to have fun with a fashion-forward bag on my arm.

While I've loved finding designer bags that are worth splurging on throughout the years, I have decided that a more affordable option is the move when it comes to a good night out with my friends. I don't like worrying about my bag getting spilled on or lost on a night out. That's why I love that the majority of my bag collection is composed of mid-priced bags that have the celebrity stamp of approval. From new faces like Aupen to industry classics like Brandon Blackwood, these are the under-$550 that you simply need to know about. 

1. Aupen

What do Kylie Jenner, Selena Gomez, and Taylor Swift have in common? This bag. Aupen is the bag brand that has quickly taken over every celebrity closet, and with the price point remaining under $500, this is a win for fashion people.
