As a picky editor with expensive taste, it’s not often you’ll find me scrolling through an Amazon sale. Honestly, I try and avoid the online giant as much as possible, but that darn next-day delivery is just so handy isn’t it? I certainly wouldn’t usually think to search for my next fashion purchase on there. This week, however, I found myself drawn in by Amazon’s Spring Deal Days sale (running until the evening of Monday 31st March) with some pretty hefty discounts and I nearly spat out my morning cuppa when I came across a handbag that looked so chic it’d be right at home on the front row of Paris Fashion Week.
When I instantly shared my find with my fellow handbag-obsessed editors, they were quick to confirm that JW Pei’s Hana tote was not only an incredible sale find, but apparently the style has been going viral on TikTok over the last few months because of how expensive it looks and feels. Our shopping editor, Florrie Alexander, even owns the bag herself and vouched for how soft and premium the faux suede version feels. I already knew the brand had a cult following, and not just from fashion people—major A-list celebs, from Selena Gomez to Hailey Bieber and Gigi Hadid have been spotted with bags from this affordable brand before. So, unlike a lot of fashion items on Amazon, at least you know you can trust the quality of this one.

The JW Pei Hana tote comes in eleven(!) different colours on the brand’s own website, with a mix of suede and leather look finishes. Four of the most classic shades (black, tan, olive green and creamy white) have 20% off in Amazon’s sale right now, bringing the price down to just over £100—which I think is really reasonable for a designer-coded tote bag. I’m sure you’ll agree with me that finding the classics in sales rarely happens so I’m pretty chuffed with this one.
