30 expensive-looking handbags all under £150
- Published

Looking good on a budget is the ultimate fashion Holy Grail. While we'd all love to own the latest designer handbag, there are times when a bit of penny-pinching is in order and stretching our salaries is a must.
There are no rules for making something seem expensive when it isn't but as Coco Chanel once said "fashion fades, only style remains the same", we've selected 30 bags which not only appear more luxurious than they are, but will also last you through the seasons.
From bargain bucket bags to sleek totes that don't cost two months' rent, here is our pick of the best on the high street.
