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.

VIDEO: 6 Investment Pieces Every Woman Should Own
Bold Stripes
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).

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

Furry Packs
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.
