Can anyone help me find more triangle, structured handbags?

[Jan Mil]

I REALLY love the Hermes Kelly (and the Birkin) but I'm a broke college student so saving up for one isn't even an option. I would really love to find one that has a similar design, but not as expensive as it. It doesn't have to be cheap as I can save (just not 15k worth bags). I've done my research and have found multiple bags now that I like and have even made a list. But I simply want more choices and since I don't know that much about handbags (been obsessed only like a month ago), I don't know where to look or where to start.

Bag sillouhettes that I really like includes:
Hermes Kelly (particularly the sellier version)
Louis Vuitton Capucine
Dior Diorever
Versace Palazzo Empire
Fendi Peekaboo
Louis Vuitton one handle flap bag MM
Givenchy Antigona
Balenciaga Le Dix
Gucci Bamboo Daily Blooms
Michael Kors Selma/Dillon

Those are the bags that I love so you have a general idea of what I may like. I don't like tote bags. Please, I really want to discover more as right now, the Kelly still has my heart.

Valentino also has a similar design of a bag (I believe it's called My Rockstud bag)

Do you have a budget in mind? Are you willing to consider second hand?

Have you used structured bags before? My suggestion would be start with something cheaper in that style to make sure it works for you before spending $$$$ on a single bag. It’s a good way to try out various colours, too.

Maybe Checkout Etsy sellers. They might be able to make something similar within you budget.

Launer London has some that you can customize, and I have been hoarding Anya Hindmarch Bathurst bags in all sizes. You can find the Anya bags for a fraction of the original prices if you are willing to go preowned.

Here is an example (not my auction): https://www.ebay.com/itm/323038328353

I love the same bags! Vintage Coach Gracie/Biltmore/Copley will all have that vintage, timeless kelly look for a fraction of the price.

The ralph lauren ricky is similar in shape to the verse palazzo.

Maybe the Just Campagne Confort, Charles et Charlus Riviera, Mulberry Seaton, Delage Ginette or Freda, DeMellier Chicago, Ted Baker Charmea, Henri bendel modern icon satchel…

There's also a fairly recent thread that is all about bags that look like the Kelly: https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/why-did-designers-stop-making-kelly-style-bags.971448/

Good luck and let us know if you spot something you like!

Don’t bother with MK save up and get the other designers, Givenchy is a good entry level that you won’t regret

Try Ferragamo Sofia. It is such a great quality bag with not so bad price tag. It is even lined in leather!
