JW Pei is one of the buzziest accessory brands of the moment. The Los Angeles-based fashion label was founded in 2018 by husband-and-wife duo Yang Pei and Stephanie Li and has taken off among celebrities and regular people alike in the years since. The designer brand is known for its trendy handbags at fair price points, one of which is its popular ruched Gabbi bag, worn by the likes of Lupita Nyong'o, Hailey Bieber, Megan Fox, and many more A-listers. But the alternative handbag styles are also worth coveting, several of which are available for super-fast shipping via Amazon Prime.

It's no doubt that JW Pei excels at minimalist silhouettes that are consistently eye-catching. But beyond its standout designs, the label strongly emphasizes sustainability. While there's always room for improvement, the trend-inspired brand openly dedicates itself to avoiding animal byproducts, sticking to a vegan philosophy, and using eco-conscious materials. It crafts its faux-leather items from recycled plastic, and all faux-leather skus originate from recycled post-consumer polyester.

Ahead, we've rounded up 12 of the best and most popular JW Pei bags on Amazon, many of which cost less than $100 and are as visually compelling as some of the luxury handbags we've seen. Keep scrolling to find out what makes each one unique.

Editor Quote: "There's a reason I carry this bag everywhere I go. Clocking in at just under eight inches long, this purse has ample room for my wallet, phone, keys, and hand sanitizer — but it's not so big that I have to spend an embarrassing amount of time locating a mere tube of lipstick." — Kelsey Mulvey, former contributing editor, Commerce
