Best Bags on a Budget

The perfect stylishly functional bag is a working woman’s best friend.

High-quality handbags that last are usually worth the investment, but how to make sure you’re getting what you pay for?

PINK highlights four smart and spacious options for the office to keep you chic and organized during your 9 to 5:

Victoria Beckham reportedly harbors over $2 million worth of Birkin bags. The coveted Birkin starts at $10,000 and goes up to 10 times that much.

Luckily, this practical Michael Kors tote at $450 is a budget-friendlier look-a-like.

One of this year’s “it” bags for fall is the 3.1 Phillip Lim Pashli satchel, priced at $895. This sleek Ann Taylor alternative, at $228, is versatile – with a lower price.

Are you accident prone – especially before your first cup of coffee? Opt for easy to clean nylon totes, like this $750 Prada splurge or $195 Tory Burch steal.

Give your shoulder a break in a more casual office with a chic backpack. If the Louis Vuitton monogram canvas backpack ($1,660) is out of reach, maybe this Coach leather backpack ($258) is more in arm’s length.
