I Doubt I’ll Ever Be Able to Afford a Hermès Kelly, But This Chic Tory Burch Bag Is the Next Best Thing

I think every person who’s even the slightest bit into fashion has aspired (and probably still does) to have a Hermès bag in their collection. Aside from its world-class craftsmanship, premium leather, and notable silhouette, having a Hermès piece is a status symbol. Some of the fashion houses’ most iconic styles, like a Birkin or Kelly, start at $10,000 and can skyrocket well past $50,000, giving whoever is holding it a badge of style and, more importantly, wealth.
I like to believe that I have impeccable taste, but I know I don’t have the funds to afford such an item and probably won’t in the near future. And even if I did, I don’t know how comfortable I would be spending such an absorbent amount of money on a purse. So what’s my solution, you may ask? The Tory Burch Lee Radziwill collection.
THE NEW "IT" BAG OF 2026
Tory Burch Lee Radziwill Collection 2026
I hate to admit it, but my social media knows me better than most people do. Earlier this week, I came across an ad on my Pinterest For You home page featuring the most adorable little black bag that looked oh-so-similar to a Hermès Kelly. It was only when I clicked into the post that I realized it was by Tory Burch. Instantly, I went to the website to make sure it wasn’t AI (because you can never tell these days) and was pleased to know that not only was this beautiful purse real, but it was way under $1,000.
Introduced in 2018, the Lee Radziwill collection is described by the brand as “Modern heritage.” It was named after the late princess, American socialite, and Jackie Kennedy’s sister, Lee Radziwill, who was “fearlessly unique.” As a fashionista myself, I was shocked and honestly a little embarrassed that this was my first encounter with the bag, because it is truly remarkable. While its similarity to a Hermès Kelly bag is what first caught my eye, its uniqueness and difference from it are what make me want it all the more. I’m sure some people consider it to be a “dupe,” but quite frankly, I think it’s better, and it’s not just because it has a lower price point.
Currently, the Tory Burch Lee Radziwill bag is trending across TikTok among fashion girlies due to its recent updates this year. It’s available in four sizes — Petite, Small, Large Shoulder, and the Original, which is the biggest. Personally, the Petite and Small sizes are the cutest options for me. Below, take a closer look at what is sure to be the new “It” bag of 2026.

Petite Lee Radziwill Double Bag in Aged Tan
While it was the black Petite Lee Radziwill Double Bag that first caught my attention, it’s the Aged Tan colorway that stole my heart. The light brown gives a more luxurious feel than the black, and it has tonal stitching throughout that’s reminiscent of the previous design. It’s 6.3 inches high, 8.7″ long, and a depth of 3.2″. But don’t let its petite size fool you. It’s large enough to hold a large phone, wallet, sunglasses, earbuds, and of course, your favorite lip products.

Small Lee Radziwill Embossed Double Bag
The next size up is the Small Lee Radziwill Double Bag. It has all the same features and functions as the Petite, like a major compartment with double layers, just on a larger scale. It has a height of 9.5″; a length of 11.6″; and a depth of 4.3″. This version has croc embossed leather that makes it look more luxurious and like a Birkin.

Lee Radziwill Pebbled Shoulder Bag
And if you love a classic shoulder bag, don’t worry, you can find a Lee Radziwill version of that too. Unlike the previous two that have open compartments and no real closure, this one has a flap with the signature belt and clasp hardware. It also just has one compartment and an interior zipper pocket. This option comes in a beautiful pebbled leather that gives it a more worn-in, unique look.
