Walmart is selling a 'beautiful' $247 Michael Kors crossbody bag for just $60
Shoppers are obsessed with this bestseller that 'holds more than you think.' Grab one now for you (and a friend!) while it's 75% off.
Off-price designer pieces are the Holy Grail for bargain hunters, but we usually have to unearth them in department stores or bid on pre-owned products online. Until today, that is. Because we spotted a unicorn in the wild: an authentic Michael Kors handbag reduced to just $60 from its original price of $247 at Walmart — that's 75% off. (It's one of the many prices Walmart has already slashed in advance of its big Holiday Deals event dropping on October 8.) While the Jet Set Large East West Crossbody Handbag whispers quiet luxury, the fact that this bestselling bag has 1,600 perfect ratings speaks volumes.
This bag holds all the essentials and is a compliment magnet in Michael Kors' signature logo pattern.
Why is this a good deal? 💰
It's not every day you find a designer handbag for 75% off. And in so many colors, to boot: more than 20 of them. We checked and secondhand sites are actually selling used Jet Set bags for higher price points than this. Scoring a brand new, genuine leather Michael Kors purse for just $60 is smart shopping, plain and simple.
Why do I need this? 🤔
Thanks to its perfect size and versatile design, this classic crossbody bag pays for itself a million times over if you consider how often you'll use it. "I truly love the size of the purse. Large enough for my wallet, iPhone, pen, tissue and small cosmetic bag," is how a five-star reviewer summed up the Jet Set's everyday appeal. "Beautiful and high quality," added another. "It can be worn with casual or business dress."
And yes, it has compartments. Two pockets built into the purse's inner lining let you securely stash stuff like your phone and keys, then easily retrieve them without the dreaded rummaging. To add to the convenience of this bag, its leather-and-chain strap adjusts like a belt, so you can modify the purse to whatever's comfortable, whether it's crossbody or shoulder style.
You can't miss with the iconic Michael Kors signature logo print, which is on sale in classic vanilla (tan and brown) and a few other colors. But if that's not your bag, opt for a solid color instead. The Jet Set is also discounted (to various percentages) in hues like demure blush, sophisticated camel and tried-and-true black. Our suggestion: Buy one for yourself and one to put away for a gift come holiday time.
What reviewers say 💬
Just in case you're (understandably) skeptical, reviewers are here to confirm that Walmart is selling the real deal. "This purse is amazing! It was beautifully packaged and in perfect condition. It had all the tags attached and was wrapped in the usual purse wrappings so you can tell the purse is brand new and authentic," one of nearly 2,000 five-star reviewers raved. "I can’t wait to carry my new purse everywhere."
With that out of the way, here's how shoppers scored their purchase.
Pros 👍
A lot of the aesthetic appeal of the Jet Set purse is obvious — "It makes ya look rich," one person joked — but for some customers, the divineness is in the details. "I love the non-yellow gold-looking hardware! I also really like the strap being both leather and metal. It moves with me not against me while walking," an astute shopper observed. Others praised it for its "quality workmanship" and the fact that "the strap is a nice length for taller people." And as a fan pointed out, "the chain gives it a touch of class.
Without a doubt, though, the biggest selling point of this high-end bag — beyond its incredible price, of course — is the size, which "holds more than you think."
"I'm amazed by the compact size and the amount of stuff I can fit into it. It's the perfect size for handling everything I need," one shopper wrote. "The size is perfect for me — I hate tiny crossbody purses with short straps. This one allows my full-size wallet, phone and other items, without being too big," another reported.
"It's just the right size for me because it fits a lot without getting too heavy," wrote a reviewer, reflecting the input of other fashion-seekers in the comments who wanted a beautiful bag that holds it all but won't cause pain. "I don't like purses that feel heavy on my shoulder. And yet it has enough room to hold all the important items that I need," a shopper wrote.
Cons 👎
Alas, nothing is perfect. Not even deeply discounted designer items.
For starters, some shoppers feel deceived that the Jet Set is advertised as a large purse, but, well, it isn't really. "It's a nice, well-made handbag, but it is tiny. The picture makes it look bigger than it is," and "the size of the purse was much smaller than I thought," are just two of a handful of comments about the bag's small-to-medium size. FYI: The actual dimensions are 8 x 6 x 2 inches.
Others were disappointed that the crossbody didn't come with a dust bag or storage box. (If you're in the market, let us suggest these purse protectors that are on sale for just $8.)
The Jet Set bag is on sale in 15 colors and prints. And here's a secret: the black version is the most affordable of all of them.
