We all want to dress like our favourite stars, whether that’s Bella Hadid or Kim Kardashian, but affording a celebrity’s designer wardrobe is just about impossible for the average person.
Fortunately, there are ways to incorporate A-lister’s designer pieces – or styles that look just like them – into your own wardrobe without putting yourself into debt.
Affordable designer bags are becoming more and more accessible for the average woman and they’re the perfect investment piece that can elevate just about any outfit.

Whether it’s a timeless black Coach clutch or a more unique style from Love Moschino, a favourite of Gigi and Bella Hadid, these designer accessories will help you up your fashion game and they’re surprisingly affordable… if you know where to look.
The best way to get your hands on iconic designer items without the insane price tags is to shop second hand.
Not only is it a more sustainable way to stay fashion-forward, buying preloved designer items can save you more than 50 per cent of the regular retail price, depending on the style.
If you’re on the hunt for second hand designer bags in Australia, eBay is a great place to start with dedicated sections for a number of big-name brands.
Plus, the site offers an authenticity guarantee on many of its preloved items, so you know you’re not getting ripped off.
Shop some of the most iconic designer handbag brands preloved on eBay below:
- Buy second hand Gucci designer bags from eBay here
- Buy second hand Prada designer bags from eBay here
- Buy second hand Dior designer bags from eBay here
- Buy second hand YSL designer bags from eBay here
- Buy second hand Chanel designer bags from eBay here
Of course, we can’t always shop second hand and sometimes it’s hard to find the exact style you’re looking for preloved.
That’s when you’ll want to go bargain hunting on sites like The Iconic and The Outnet, which carry a range of designer styles for a discounted price.
