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.
