"The quality is incredible, the styles are cute but practical, and I feel like they make anything I am wearing look better."
I know, I can hardly believe it either!
Based in Los Angeles, the brand was founded by husband and wife duo, Stephanie Li and Yang Pei. According to their website, the inspiration behind the brand was "the idea that fashion should be accessible, effortless, and empowering." Which, they have definitely nailed!
Get the bag from JW Pei for $69 (only available in purple) and get the heels from JW Pei for $89 (available in women's sizes 5–10 and 17 colors)
When I started seeing this new "It bag" all over Instagram, I knew I had to have it. What shocked me was the fact that it was less than $100! The quality is amazing — the vegan leather is sturdy, it has a lovely faux suede lining, and the magnetic closure actually stays closed. The adorable "scrunchie" design is such a great way to jazz up an outfit. Plus, it's a great size for the necessities like my phone, wallet, keys, and lip gloss. I definitely plan on buying more colors!
Get it from Amazon for $79.99 (available in 29 colors/styles) or from JW Pei for $89 (available in 21 colors).
"This has been my go-to bag for the last month. When I saw this style showing up everywhere on Instagram (and in my fellow BuzzFeed Shopping team posts), I knew I wanted to get my hands on it. The style really is unique and fun, yet still feels like it's a classic. I wasn't sure about the size, but it's big enough to fit my phone, small wallet, hand sanitizer, lipstick, and a mask. (which is about everything I need to carry around right now). The shoulder strap is a little small if I put it all the way up on my shoulder, but I actually prefer to hold it by my hand or the crook of my arm. And did I mention that this is amazing for the price?!? I mean, can you believe that it's less than $100??? Because I truly cannot. It's such good quality, and I know I'll be using it for a long long time." —Abby Kass, BuzzFeed Staff
"I snagged this beaut from the JW Pei site on Black Friday last year and have carried it as my purse a several dozen times since. I took it on a trip to Croatia and found that I felt totally OK in a club *not* getting pickpocketed. Plus, I toted it all around Italy for two weeks. And then to a wedding in my hometown! This thing has some major versatility. The baguette shape lets the zip top sit right underneath your armpit for safekeeping. But the vegan leather and color combo looks SO luxe, like it cost me in the hundreds. Because of this bag, I adore this brand and can't recommend it enough!" —Elizabeth Lilly, BuzzFeed Staff
Get it from Amazon for $58.99 (available in 20 colors/styles) or from JW Pei for $59 (available in eight colors).
And get the chain strap separately from JW Pei for $10 (originally $19; available in six colors).
"I bought my first JW Pei bag during the height of the pandemic in 2020 after dreaming about a day in which I would need a cute bag to wear out again, and since then I have become some sort of Stan. I just bought myself another one (this one, my god I am obsessed) and I am slowly but surely starting to build a collection. The quality is incredible, the styles are cute but practical, and I feel like they make anything I am wearing look better. Finding a stylish bag that is great quality, made using sustainable vegan materials, isn't immediately sold out upon launch, AND is under $100?? What is not to love? Consider me a fan girl for life." —Lara Parker, BuzzFeed Staff
Get it from JW Pei for $89 (available in three colors) or Amazon for $79.99 (available in four colors).
I got the pink faux fur Abacus bag for Christmas last year. Sadly, it's not in stock anymore. But, there are plenty of other color and style options that are perfect for summer! This bag is such a statement piece that it never fails to rake in the compliments. And even with its curved design, I can still fit my iPhone, keys, and a small wallet inside.
Get it from Amazon for $71.99+ (available in 18 colors/styles) or from JW Pei for $89 (available in 10 colors).
The ombré design of this bag is what caught my attention initially. But, I love how expensive it feels! It's very structured and sturdy, which is impressive considering how affordable it is (especially on sale). I used this bag on a trip to Paris last year and it kept my belongings secure, while also adding the perfect finishing touch to my outfits. My only complaint is that the crossbody strap isn't long enough. I can use it to throw it over my shoulder, but I'm glad I added the extra handle for convenience (plus, it really takes the bag to another level, IMO).
Get it from Amazon for $67.99+ (available in 15 colors/styles) or get it from JW Pei for $89 (available in nine colors).
And get the pearl strap separately from JW Pei for $19 (available in two options) or from Amazon for $29.99.
