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.
Sub silver accessories where you'd usually wear black ones and instantly be impressed with how chic your outfit looks.
You, too, can be one of those cool girls wearing Louisa Ballou on vacation.
Wear this puff-sleeve sweatshirt with your favorite joggers for a slightly more polished version of your everyday loungewear outfit.
The key to unlocking a Westerncore look is this croc-effect belt.
This printed scarf will ideally be worn in your hair while sunbathing on a yacht, but tying it to your tote at the office will work too.
You do not want to get behind on the cobalt-blue trend—it's about to blow up.
We don't really need to tell you about the cost per wear of these sunglasses.
This tissue-thin fabric just looks so luxe.
Reach for these elevated cargos when you're sick of your jeans.
You know, only the hottest jewelry trend of the moment.
You'll be thankful you bought this in approximately three months.

The kind of thing you throw on to make your basic legging-and-sneaker outfit look a minimum of 75% cooler.
Impress the sales associates when you whip out this card holder at the register.
Pair this with combat boots and a moto jacket for the ultimate alt-girl outfit.
In case you didn't know you needed a crayon-yellow balaclava until this very moment.
