12 Purses That Look 10 Times Their Price

TBH, I could have swapped the 10 in the headline for a 20 without sacrificing accuracy, but I didn’t want to sound like a drama queen—but it’s true! At $35 and under, the latest crop of Who What Wear collection bags literally look like they cost 20 times their prices, and they garner the compliments a designer purse would—without the same hefty investment. I know from experience because I own a few myself.

Whether it’s our of-the-moment belt bag (that doubles as a crossbody) or the ultra-useful Love purse, they’re as easy on the eyes as they are on your wallet, and the proof is in the pictures. To see what I mean and shop the bags along the way, simply keep reading below.

Editor-at-Large

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2024, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
