Bethenny Frankel swears by these under-$200 bags to ‘look like a million bucks’
Bethenny Frankel knows a thing or two about bagging a great Amazon find.
The star regularly gives her TikTok followers a peek at her purse collection, which includes a slew of relatively affordable style from celebrity favorite JW Pei.
And this week, Frankel tripled down on her love of the brand with a new guide to “how to look like a million bucks without spending it,” shouting out the “functional” Lucia and Elora purses.

“What I love about these bags is that they’re soft and mushy,” she said of the vegan leather designs. “What bag can you fold in the corner of a suitcase like this?”
Both come in a range of colors, with the Lucia even available in a Frankel-approved, croc-embossed material.
She also shouted out the brand’s Bria Structured Top Handle Bag, suggesting it’s “inspired by two different Hermès bags in one” — the Mini Kelly and the Himalayan Birkin.

“The further I go on this journey overall, I just am not overly fixated on everything being such a fortune,” added the star, who teamed up with JW Pei on the clip. “Tens of thousands for bags is simply criminal.”
The “Just B” host completed the video with the Noor Bag, a sleek design that’s currently on sale only for Amazon Prime members.

It’s far from the first time Frankel’s featured JW Pei in her popular “Handbag University” social media series; she shouted out the Orla Weave Handbag in a video last year, calling it “unbelievable.”
She’s also been outspoken about ditching luxury goods in favor of budget-friendlier alternatives, telling Page Six Style in May: “People are finally realizing that carrying a $10,000 bag doesn’t equal success — it signals excess. I’ve sold off a ton of designer bags and I’m not looking back.”
