The Most Chic Starter Designer Bags
Since we were kids, we always fantasized about owning a designer bag. You know, the classic walk into the boutique (probably Chanel), a stylist serves us a fizzy drink and then we swipe our credit card.
Sadly, that hasn't happened yet, but a girl can dream. Though we still might not have Chanel money, we're old enough to save our coins and buy one that doesn't cost $10,000, aka a starter designer purse.
Below, we've gathered our top five entry-level brands, including favorites like Coach and Kate Spade, so you, too, can live out your luxury lifestyle.
