At risk of sounding incredibly big-headed, us editors at Who What Wear are pretty damn good at finding designer-looking bags at high-street prices. It undoubtedly comes from spending way too much time scrolling through the new-in sections of Topshop, Mango, H&M and Zara but also having that understanding of what makes something feel high-end (hint: it's all about the fabric and silhouette).
It's fair to say that over the last few months, our high-street bag radar has been going off on a weekly basis, and there are so many winning styles that come in under the £100 mark. The summer accessory trends (think raffia, mock-croc and oversized silhouettes) are also so easy to emulate on a budget, so no one need know your crossbody didn't set you back three figures.
To help you avoid having to trawl through thousands of new-in products, we've created an edit of the best budget-friendly bags on the market right now. Scroll down to see and shop our faves.
Roomy Totes
Style Notes: A roomy black tote makes for the perfect pairing with a minimalist co-ord. Plus, you'll be able to fit your lunch in it.
