It really is hard to find something of quality and design in mind for under $1000. We would love to be chic on a penny but unfortunately fab doesn’t come cheap….. but then there are those finds. Like this snob worthy bag that is really affordable. I was really impressed when I saw that this is a Cole Haan bag. It has a totally cool styling and it has these super functional side panels that are actually deep wide pockets. It reminds me of the Prada bags from the good old days where the center compartment was zipped, with slots on either side that are open. I love the subtle detailing on the pocket flap and the best part, it doesn’t say Cole Haan really big anywhere so it just looks like a really cool bag. I think this is the cheapest bag we ever featured. Amazingly cheap – $295 at Saks.
