Bethenny knows best.
If you haven’t noticed, Bethenny Frankel loves a nice handbag, and who can blame her? The ultimate accessory zhuzhes any outfit, from leggings to denim.
The “RHONY” legend often shares her impeccable recommendations, which range from high-end to posh-yet-accessible pieces that can be shopped even on a budget.
Case in point? Her “Handbag University” Instagram post from last month featuring the $40 Kadynow Top Handle Handbag, which comes in dozens of shades. (It even has a detachable, on-trend bag charm, though Frankel wears hers without it.)
It’s petite, top-handled and perfectly giftable. Made of soft vegan leather, the bag fits plenty of essentials and can be used for day or evening.
In her post, the star says that it looks “inspired by an Hermès” bucket bag — though she adds that it has a “Kelly-looking closure” (referring to the Hermès Kelly bags, which run well into five figures).
The “Just B” podcast host adds that it’s “great,” and while she has several actual Hermès bags, she quips, “the Lord’s work means [being an] equal opportunity bag buyer.”
“This ones gorg-o,” she concludes.
Some of the slightly pricier croc versions are even on sale right now for under $50.
“This bag is similar to the H-ERME-S bag for wayyyy cheaper! The leather feels nice,” raves one five-star review that calls it a “Cute small, ‘luxury’ bag without the hefty price tag!”
Others concur, saying it “Looks incredibly high-end.”
The petite style is also available in contrasting colors, like a handy black and brown colorway that could match pretty much any outfit. (Though, we’re a little obsessed with the pink and pale blue version!)
If you’re looking for a larger size, Frankel also has this luxe-looking tote bag in the “Rich B***h handbags” section of her Amazon storefront. It’s available in four colors and two sizes.
One shopper wrote it is “Hands down one of the most gorgeous bags on Amazon!”
No matter which style you choose, you know it’s been vetted by the legendary self-proclaimed accidental influencer.
