8 Affordable Luxury Handbags Katie Holmes Is Convincing Me to Buy

Katie Holmes is the undisputed queen of affordable luxury. She regularly (and effortlessly) mixes mainstream labels like Banana Republic, Madewell, and Everlane with high-end names like Saint Laurent, Miu Miu, and Gucci. While the Dawson’s Creek star owns her fair share of designer handbags, she’s often photographed with a reasonably priced tote slung over her shoulder. So, we’ve highlighted some of the affordable luxury handbags Katie Holmes has recently been spotted in. With styles starting at just $35, you’ll be schlepping like a celebrity in no time.

Hand-woven leather (or suede) and a slouchy silhouette make Holmes’s Dune London Deliberate XL Bag appear far more expensive than its reasonable $210 price. The style comes with two additional zippered pouches to keep the spacious interior organized—and is offered in a number of color and size options to suit everyone’s fancy.

The style is also offered in medium, extra-large and micro sizes.
