In The Devil Wears Prada, Andy Sachs' boyfriend Nate questions why women need more than one handbag. As Anne Hathaway's character's friend Lily so aptly explains, it's because they're pretty. This trendy handbag brand is pretty, yes, but its purses are functional and affordable, too.
JW Pei bags have been spotted slung over the arms of stars like Hailey Bieber, Megan Fox, Emily Ratajkowski, and Gigi Hadid over the past few years. Oprah Winfrey even deemed this crossbody bag one of her Favorite Things last December, so the brand is not just for It Girls.
The affordable purses (the majority of which cost less than $100) come in unique shapes like crescent moons, eye-catching fabrics like crocodile, and bright colors like lime green and lavender. You've probably seen the viral JW Pei Gabbi Bag, which all of the aforementioned celebs (save Oprah) own.
However, the brand just dropped a slew of new silhouettes for spring, including saddle bags, quilted croissant bags, and practical crossbodies — and prices start at just $30. JW Pei is known for its bold shades, but the brand also offers its signature purses in neutral hues like black, white, and brown. Below, shop some of the best new JW Pei bags at Amazon.
