All too often, we find ourselves in the same predicament: lusting after a gorgeous designer bag [1], yet not quite ready to take the plunge and splurge on it. Instead, we browse fast-fashion sites, where we know for a fact we can find similar, chic, and on-trend options for a lot less. And one store than always manages to satisfy our "need" for the luxury look? Good ol' H&M.
From classic structured totes to night-out crossbodies, H&M sells it all, and its sleek and elevated designs look a lot pricier than they truly are. Check out some of the best options ahead. Then find out what you need to know before buying a dream designer bag [2].
