Bag of the Week: YSL's Swing Bag - Stylehive

It would take countless amounts of time and web space to list every reason why we love YSL so much, but for now, I'll just stick with one: they always manage to create handbags that hover somewhere between the classic appeal we appreciate and "it" bag status we crave. But then, the prices always seem to hover between $1,000 and, well, beyond. The swing bag is a prime example-- the shape is simple yet statement-making, and the muted metallic hue is just trendy enough while still maintaining the bag's ability to function as an everyday option. But again, at $1,895, this isn't your average everyday bag.

Lucky for us, creative minds think alike, and some of those minds think about those of us on a budget. We've rounded up five similarly styled handbags, each of which is much more wallet-friendly. In fact, you could purchase three or four of our picks and still spend less than the price of the YSL! But don't take our word for it... check out the slideshow and see for yourself.
