Now, don't get us wrong! We absolutely love the trend towards oversized bags right now. They allow us to nurture our inner packrat without looking like a bag lady. That being said, we sometimes tire of carrying duffel-sized purses, and for smaller outings that don't require enough space to fit half your purchases in it, there has to be some alternatives in your wardrobe.

Enter Michael Kors, the Duchess of Project Runway. We have always liked his aesthetic – catchy without being outrageous, classic and held in when need be. We also like his prices compared to most other big name designers. Granted, a purse like his Astor satchels

may still cost you $290, but compared to say, a $2,900 bag, it really is a bargain.

Of course, at Baghaus we not only have a better bargain, but quite possibly the ultimate one. We have four gorgeous Astor-inspired bags in three colors. The Baghaus Astor satchel comes in black, brown and camel and an Astor shoulder bag in black.

The Baghaus Astor Satchel - $32.99

The Baghaus Astor Shoulder Bag - $49.99

The prices on these bags range from $32.99 to $49.99, making our version of the Astor an affordable alternative to both Michael Kors and all the other overpriced 'it' bags of the moment. Buy one or four – your back will thank you.
