Transcript

I have this problem where I'm addicted to handbags and especially mid-range handbags because I just think they're cooler and cuter than anything designer out there. So I thought I would share my most recent mid-range handbag wishlist. Everything is from $200 to $2,000 max. And I would put any one of these bags up against any designer bag right now. First is the number one bag I am eyeing. It's $250 from verified. This python with the silver hardware is everything. I love the double strap. I love that you can do this as a clutch, I love that you can do this as a shoulder bag. It comes in like eight colors. I'm obsessed with this. Next from Freja, if you like Kate, this bag is literally over $2,000 cheaper and looks pretty much the same. Also, brides, this is so good. Next is this Lie Studio calf hair bag. It's under $500. Looks like it could be thousands. Dragon Diffusion just dropped their very, very famous bag in silver and I feel like I just absolutely need this. Staud came out with bags that look just like this for over $1,500. This is from Staud. I want to say it's like $300. I love the suede with the leather handle so chic for fall. New to me is the brand Bonastre. I love this bag, especially the hardware and the detailing. It's like a belt. It's so cool. This bag is really fun, especially if you're a bride. It's $250. I think the fringe is super fun, great for a bachelorette or honestly just for summer. This is a new to me brand called Fane. Love this elongated strap. Love the leather. Looks like a Lya. Looks like the row. Way cheaper. Also new to me is brand called Wandler. And I just have my eye on this mixed, butter yellow and snake skin clutch. It also comes with a crossbody and shoulder strap, but I think this is just perfection. Also looks like a Lya. Looks like the row. Way cheaper. And then Polo Ralph Lauren did beautiful bags. This is the Raffia, which honestly I would wear into fall. Love the leather details. Some of you are gonna think this is a rip-off and I'm okay with that because I still love this bag. It's $850. But I love the mesh. Also comes in black and red. It's just so simple and easy. Of course, I could go on and on and on, but this is what I'm loving right now.
