Nothing pulls an outfit together quite like the perfect handbag. That's why we like to keep a ton of options in our closets. But keeping "a ton" of anything isn't cost-efficient and if you live in a city, who has space? Don't worry, though—you just need to keep your eye out for affordable look-a-likes, and we found the perfect place to stalk.

UK-based brand ASOS, legit, has every-single handbag trend covered. And what's even better: the retailer's crazy, low prices. You'll find everything, from must-have satchels to trendy fanny packs. So read and shop the best trends (for less) below.

Sometimes bigger is better, especially when you're talking about stripes. We saw striped bags on a few Spring/Summer runways—like Carolina Herrera and Proenza Schouler (shown above).

Flowers for spring—not groundbreaking. The print was all over the place. But, most importantly, in 3-D designs that resembled origami.

This soft, fuzzy trend popped up at Marni (pictured here), Altuzarra, and Proenza Schouler. It's so cute and could easily double as a pillow for when you get sleepy. Or bored. Or just want to be cozy.
