I’ve dreamed of owning a designer handbag all my life, but I’m still far from being able to afford one. Fortunately, more and more affordable brands are coming out with high-quality bags that match the look and feel of designer bags, for a fraction of the price. In fact, there are dozens of options under $100 that can fool even the most highly educated designer connoisseur. I’ve put together 12 beautiful handbags, crossbodies, and totes that are all available on Amazon. With any of these you could walk down Rodeo Drive and fit right in with the multi-millionaires and their Birkins!
