Here’s a secret: I built my small collection of designer bags for about 80% less than what most people spend on designer bags. How did I do this? As an avid follower, you’ll probably guess it’s thanks to buying vintage, unique styles. My fave is the vanity bag. It’s a go to for traveling in style, but, for me, it’s a style that checks all the marks for me: unique, practical, always available in colors or prints, and is always cheaper than any other style.
If you’re looking to build or add to your collection, but not spend a mortgage payment on a bag, then this list is for you. Another hot tip is to add a fun strap to your bag as some vanity styles (like my Chanel bag) don’t have a strap.
