With the news headlines full of rises in the cost of living, regardless of where you live in the world, let’s keep this summer as affordable as possible. Here’s the rundown of eye-catching bags all for under £100 or under AUS $175 or US $130! I’ve kept a focus on the bags you can through over your shoulder in keeping with one of the bag trends this summer. And whether you want leather, recycled or fabric, here are the best fashion bags from the high street or online stores from the US, Europe and Australia – we’ve got you covered.
And in no particular order:
From Mango – colour pop


From Zara – fringe benefits


Found in Australia – sparkling

From the US with embellishment


Back to Europe



There’s something about summer that just brings out the need for a bag with a bit of extra detail. All of these bags have one thing in common, they bring full-on texture; from beads to fringes. Hope you enjoy this edit of bargain inspiration. And if you need more, check out the SS’22 guides below:
