Mindy Kaling and Penelope Cruz have co-signed the latest accessory trend: top-handle bags.
Both actresses showed them off at events this month. Kaling carried a newly customized mini Kelly bag from Hermès, while Cruise wore a classy clutch. If you’re a fan of these silhouettes and their ornate handles, you’re in luck.
We found a similar style tucked away in Amazon’s handbag department for just $17, but that’s not all we found. There are plenty of top handle bags to consider, including work totes and crossbody bags, and Kate Spade styles are also on sale for 45% off.
