My $10 Purse from Walmart Resembles a $1,400 Designer Bag

When it comes to accessories, I like to play around with colorful jewelry, fun shoes, and unique jackets, but I keep my purse collection small and classic. I tend to stick to one bag for years that is durable and goes well with various outfits.

While this preference typically means I invest in pieces that I know will withstand the test of time, I still have limits on what I’m willing to spend. For years, I’ve had my eye on pieces from The Row, specifically the Half Moon leather bag. At $1,400, I always hesitated to take the plunge and buy it. When I saw this similar version at Walmart for just $10 with multiple reviews highlighting the quality and material, I decided to give it a try.

My first impression of the black handbag was the high-quality material. The faux leather is so soft and feels much more expensive than just $10. While it’s sturdy and durable, the purse isn’t stiff or heavy. It also holds a decent amount inside. I was able to carry my phone, wallet, lipstick, hand lotion, and keys with plenty of room to spare. In the reviews, one shopper even called it a Mary Poppins bag for how spacious it is inside.

The simple design has a fun, asymmetrical shape that resembles the Half Moon bag from The Row. I like how subtle this design is, making it a piece that stands out while still being classic enough for everyday wear. It has a thick strap that sits comfortably on my shoulder. My only reservation is the zipper, which tends to get stuck but is manageable.

I recently brought this purse on a weekend trip where I received multiple compliments each night. Naturally, I was eager to share that this high-end-looking bag was just $10 and comes in multiple colors. I’m already eyeing the light brown and the woven color, which are a little more expensive than my black one, but still under $20.

This best-selling bag is already selling out in some colors, so be sure to add it to your cart before it’s gone. For more purses from Time and Tru at Walmart, keep scrolling.
