Stop Everything: These 30 Designer Items Are—Wait for It—Under $100
We were going to say "don't freak out," but in this case, we think it's acceptable to freak out a little bit. Considering the price of designer goods is only climbing higher thanks to good ol' inflation, finding them at these prices is like spotting a unicorn. But spot them we did! We scoured a number of sites, from the sale sections at Net-a-Porter and Moda Operandi to off-price spots like The Outnet and pre-loved destinations like The RealReal. These sites are always home to the most luxe designer goods, but today, we're focusing solely on the very best designer items we could find for under $100.
Ahead, you'll see some of the cutest designer shoes, tops, and more that, by the grace of the internet gods, all ring in at under $100. So if you've been craving a quick shopping pick-me-up, instead of heading to Zara (for once), check out these high-quality, affordable finds first. In all honesty, a Staud bag for $75 is better than any fast-fashion purchase we can think of.
The perfect shape + the cool girl–approved brand? Sold.
In case you also haven't stopped thinking about *that* Katie Holmes cardigan outfit.
