I’m suddenly finding myself looking into quilted handbags similar to Chanel’s classic design, which I think looks really fantastic whether you’re wearing jeans or wearing something dressier.
But Chanel’s are quite pricey, as everyone knows. It’s a good thing there are plenty of similar designs from different designers that can deliver the same style and functionality.
Guess Jive Tote
This is currently on sale at Zappos for $100 and made in patent synthetic leather with quilting. I like this style for its sturdy form, though I’m not exactly a fan of patent leather. This is, however, an elegant copy of the Chanel handbag, for a lesser, more affordable price.
Kate Spade Quilted Signature Stevie
This is a bit pricier at $195, but nevertheless, you get a gorgeous Kate Spade bag in quilted design, for less than a Chanel’s price. This particular style is a classic Spade form, and comes with Kate Spade’s dot motif. You can use this bag day in and day out.
Or perhaps pick a style that’s closer to the actual Chaenl with the Kate Spade Gold Coast:
Armani Exchange has its own version as well and this only goes for $110:
This handbag has a more fashion forward style though with its buckle detail. And the handbag is made of PVC material, not leather.
Quilted Handbags for Less
On first glance, you would not suspect that a bag like this can actually come with a compact drawer.
Like so…
Released last year by Liz Couture, this satchel is made of croc-embossed patent leather and comes in either red and black.
As it is, the satchel already makes this a roomy bag. But being built in with a drawer keeps all of the contents in your bag organized and you don’t have to wade through the bottom just to look for stuff. Inside, the bag is lined with light tan fabric.
The drawer doesn’t make this bag heavy, too, which makes carrying it even better. And given that it comes in red makes it a perfect fit for fall season’s trends. Although, personally, I’d much rather prefer the black one.

These days, owning a bag specifically for carrying a camera is as ordinary as owning a regular handbag. Everyone needs it because everyone owns a camera, in one way or another.
Most camera owners, however, want their camera bags inconspicuous-looking, like you wouldn’t think there’s a camera in it because it looks like any other crossbody bag.
This patent camera shaped handbag is a playful interpretation of such a bag. You don’t really need this to store your cameras in. You can actually wear it as it is, without any gadget inside. Only, it looks like it does because it comes in a sturdy camera-shaped design.
The handbag is from Topshop. It’s made of patent leather with a detachable strap.
I think it would be fun to wear this on days when you wanna pretend you have a camera with you. I don’t know though if an actual camera fits this. But if it does, then this bag serves a double purpose!
Black Patent Camera Shaped Handbag
I was immediately drawn to this purse because of its bright, striking orange color. While the bag is also available in hot pink, I think the orange looks a lot better.
This cute clutch bag has very little detail in its design. But it remains as attractive as any bag with elaborate style. The design is pretty simple but stands out because of the color and the patent leather material gives it spunk. And what especially works for this bag, is the cute heart shaped fastener with the brand’s initials on it.
If you’re looking to emphasize your style with a bit of colorblocking, then this bag would work.
This is how the bag looks inside, which I think is pretty handy, with all the card pockets and slots. You can still put important stuff in it, like money, lipstick, powder and a small gadget. The contrast lining works as well.
It’s available from Ted Baker, a British retail brand known for its unique twists and ideas when it comes to fashion. The company has been in business in since 1988 and aside from handbags, their main forte is in menswear and women fashion. They also have a line of cosmetics as well as a line for children.
The handbag is available for sale at John Lewis.

Bucket bags are especially quirky but attractive. If you’re tired of using the usual shopping bag, a bucket bag can be a fitting alternative. It’s convenient to use and very easy to carry around as much as totes and top handle bags are. Bucket bags come in pretty colors and design as well, and here are just some of our good choices.
Penny Large Canvas and Leather Bucket Bag
I like this bucket bag for its bright yellow, black and white printed canvas. This offer something contemporary and adds to color and style to your wardrobe. The bucket bag comes with leather trimmings and against an all black palette, it does stand out.

It is a bucket bag with a variation. Made of canvas woven, this features rope detailing and wrapped leather handles with leather trimmings. What I love about it is the is the leather and canvas combo. This bag makes a really and durable piece.

This gorgeous red bucket bag is made of patent leather and comes with adjustable handles featured with a metal buckle. The bag is quite large but inside there are pockets to fit small objects into. The bag is closed with a leather drawstring.
