So, we’ve highlighted some of the best affordable luxury handbags that Katie Holmes has recently been spotted in. With styles starting at just £30, you’ll be walking around looking like a stylish celebrity in no time.

Hand-woven leather (or suede) and a slouchy silhouette make Holmes’ Dune London Deliberate XL Bag appear far more expensive than its reasonable £149 price-tag. The style comes with two additional zippered pouches to keep the spacious interior organised—and is offered in a number of colour and size options to suit everyone’s fancy.
