If you’re looking for an affordable alternative to Chanel’s classic quilted flap purses, feast your eyes on the Bea bag from Big Buddha.
Of course, for $80 you’ll never find the same level of luxury that Chanel offers. But the looks of this quilted nylon alternative definitely take their cues from the iconic French bags.
Tiny rhinestones subtly add bling to the Bea’s quilted texture. Any bigger and they’d appear ostentatious, but Big Buddha gets it right here. These gems work with the polished silver turnlock clasp and matching metal chain strap to make this purse appear richer than its price tag.
It’s called a mini bag, but the Bea is a bit larger than that name might suggest. For an evening bag it’s quite sizable, and if you know how to travel light it might even work during the day. There are two open pockets and a zippered compartment inside, but if you’re searching for another place for your valuables look to the buttoned pocket on the back.
If you can afford Chanel, by all means seek out the luxury alternative, but if you’re tightening your belt this Big Buddha Bea bag has the stuff to satisfy.
