Most of the time, when we see our favourite celebrities out and about, they're dressed head to toe in couture... so, anytime they're spotted with an affordable fashion find, it sends the internet (and us, just quietly) into a frenzy, because achieving their look just got much more attainable.

One space we are really seeing celebs lean into is affordable handbags, so much so that Anne Hathaway was spotted on The Devil Wears Prada 2 press tour carrying a $220 handbag from Los Angeles-based brand, JW Pei.

Other A-listers who have been spotted with stylish pieces sans the luxury price tag include Bella Hadid, Emily Ratajkowski, and Kendall Jenner, just to name a few.

So, here we have pulled together some of the celeb-approved handbags we're obsessing over that you can shop today, no waitlist or famous surname required.

Kendall Jenner

Kate Spade has always had a special place our hearts, and now that Kendall Jenner has been spotted carrying the Duo Mini Shoulder Bag, it's about to earn a place in yours, too.

This stylish piece is made from smooth pebbled leather and can be worn in multiple ways, whether that be as a shoulder bag or a clutch. It also includes a removable pouch and will only set you back $279.

Anne Hathaway

JW Pei Lucia Classic Top Handbag

This JW Pei Lucia Classic Top Handbag has shot to fame almost overnight, after being worn by Anne Hathaway this week during The Devil Wears Prada 2 press tour.

This $219 find is made from vegan leather and features a top handle with a detachable crossbody strap, so you can wear it both ways.

Meryl Streep

Another iconic piece that has come from The Devil Wears Prada 2 press tour is this Maison De Sabre Medium Palais bag, which was spotted in the hands of none other than Meryl Streep herself!

Made from 100 per cent calf leather, this bag is super versatile, featuring a top handle and a crossbody carry strap.

Bella Hadid

Coach Brooklyn Bag 28

Here for $453.37

Bella Hadid has been spotted wearing Coach on a few occasions now, so when we spotted her wearing the Coach Brooklyn Bag 28, we were obsessed.

This bag is super generous in size, and the one main compartment means you can store anything from a laptop to your makeup bag with ease. This bag is made from smooth leather in Italy, and it's yours for under $500.

Emily Ratajkowski

JW Pei Gabbi Ruched Hobo Handbag

Here for $125.55

Another JW Pei favourite is this Gabbi Ruched Hobo Handbag, which also retails for just $138. Made from a sturdy vegan leather and featuring a thick ruched strap, this is the perfect piece for slinging over your shoulder just like Em Rata here.
