Ask anyone with an impeccable sense of style, and they’ll likely tell you the same thing: sometimes, the best way to transform an outfit is through accessories. With that in mind, we’ve made sure to invest in standout extras — sunglasses, jewelry, and, of course, purses. Over the years, some of our best under-$500 bags (and clothes!) have come from Coach. But the more we’ve researched, the more we’ve discovered brands like Coach that sell cute stuff at a reasonable cost.
The price tag isn’t the only requirement here. What we love about Coach is that it’s accessible luxury — the pieces are stunning and quality-made, and a number of celebrities wear the designs (including Jennifer Lopez, Alix Earle, and Olivia Rodrigo). We considered all of those factors when searching for brands like Coach, compiling a list of similar stores we love just as much.
Ahead, check out our favorite brands like Coach that make on-trend accessories and clothes that look and feel expensive, yet fall under the $500 price point. Sorry in advance to your bank account.
1. Tory Burch
Coach and Tory Burch have a ton in common. For starters, both sell reasonably-priced totes, satchels, and shoulder bags that are more timeless than trendy, which means that if you invest in one now, you’re bound to keep it in rotation for years to come. On top of creating classic purses, these brands also make bold accessories and easy, ready-to-wear clothes that fashion lovers shouldn’t sleep on. Even the shoes (loafers! slides!) have been spotted on everyone from Gigi Hadid to Emma Roberts.

2. Mansur Gavriel
Like Coach, Mansur Gavriel‘s accessories are designed in New York (although the actual pieces are made in Italy) and while you’re sure to find some classic creations on its site, the brand does gravitate toward funky shapes and splashes of color. For less than $500, you can score a bag that’s the happy medium between unique and versatile, taking your everyday purse to a new, fashion-forward level. Those who are feeling 2024’s ballet flats trend are also in luck since Mansur Gavriel’s Dream Ballerina comes in 17 different colors.

3. Kate Spade
While you may think of Coach for wardrobe staples, the brand also sells bags that are a bit more playful, including ones shaped like hearts and stars. If novelty is more your style, Kate Spade — which shares a parent company, Tapestry, Inc., with Coach — should be another go-to. Here, you’ll find the bright, shiny accessories and apparel your closet craves alongside more traditional pieces, like a structured top-handle purse in a neutral colorway.

Work bags, beach bags, going-out bags, wallets—scrolling through Brahmin’s website, you’re bound to discover an accessory for nearly every occasion. While structured purses are aplenty, the saturated colors and elaborate patterns give them a bold new spin. Plus, you can’t beat the embossed leather material. The detail makes everything look super luxe, but the prices are still pretty reasonable. Even larger, carryall bags will cost you less than $400.

Kurt Geiger is another celebrity favorite, and like Coach, you’ll find yourself eyeing more than just bags and wallets.

You might find yourself adding evil eye earrings or a platform pair of kicks to cart, which will come in handy on days you’re looking to add a little oomph to your basics.

There’s a time and place for logomania, but if you’re more into elevated essentials that fly under the radar, check out Clare V. The brand, which counts Reese Witherspoon and Lucy Hale as fans, is laid-back in that cool, California way. Yet at the same time, the designs incorporate luxe Parisian elements. Aside from shopping sleek purses you’ll wear forever, take a look at the hats and sweatshirts, which are colorful and include simple text that says stuff like “Oui” or “Ciao.”
