The Under-$40 Bag I'm Telling All My Friends to Buy for Fall
It's a bird, it's a plane—no, it's just a really, really good bag that costs $34.99 but looks more like it's in the $350-and-up category. It's true! Thanks to features that include a croc-embossed exterior and sleek top handle, I'm pretty obsessed with our latest Who What Wear collection fall bag and I have a feeling you (and all my friends) will be, too. It's the perfect size for wearing from day to night while holding all the essentials, and, much like it's footwear counterpart, it instantly adds an element of luxe to any outfit.
That's why it's no surprise that despite launching just this month, the bag has already been spotted a handful of times on Instagram, and I can only imagine it's going to get even more popular. My only suggestion? Get it (and post about it) before it's gone. See for yourself how polished it looks below and then, of course, shop it and more affordable bags from our fall line.
