Let’s be honest, no one don’t watches Emily in Paris for the relatability. The clothes, the romances, the supposed daily job responsibilities—they’re over the top in all the best ways and allow us all to play out our fantasies of being an expat marketing exec with seemingly no budget. And while you could always plan a trip to Paris to live out your Emily-inspired dreams, there is another option that doesn’t involve a lengthy flight and PTO. You could always raid Emily Cooper and the gang’s wardrobes to copy the very best of their handbag collections. Because while it’s unlikely I’ll ever have occasion to wear a black-and-white striped, long-sleeve body suit or a Muppet-inspired faux-fur coat, I can absolutely accessorize my day-to-day looks with a fabulous new tote or crossbody. Below you’ll find eight of the best handbags from Season 4 of Emily in Paris, plus some more budget-friendly lookalikes, to add to your collection while we wait for Season 5 to drop.

1. Soeur Bellissima Mini Furry Bag
Soeur
Season 4, Episode 6
There are tons of chic sherpa moments this season, but my favorite has to be Emily’s Soeur crossbody. The mix of the cozy material with warm, caramel-hued leather and gold hardware is so chic and doesn’t just feel like someone converted a teddy bear into a handbag. I even love her choice to pair it with a sherpa coat for double the coziness.

2. Saint Laurent Manon Mini Raffia Shoulder Bag
Saint Laurent
Season 4, Episode 10
Even in Italy, Emily is repping France with her YSL handbag. The combination of leather and raffia make it so you could carry this bag for many more months out of the year than a plain straw crossbody. And the strap is also adjustable, so you can wear it as a shoulder bag, a crossbody or shortened even further as a top handle. It’s definitely an investment piece, but this timeless style is worth the splurge, in my opinion, for its versatility.

3. Pierre Hardy Alpha Leather Shoulder Bag
Pierre Hardy
Season 4, Episodes 1 and 2
I love when characters of a show repeat outfits, and this bag shows up at least twice in Season 4. Sylvie also carries the very same style in a different color in Season 3, making this a fabulously chic three-peat. This is a classic Pierre Hardy silhouette, and comes in a range of fun color combinations. It also comes with a removable strap to convert the top handle to a crossbody for even more wear options. C’est très magnifique!

Aspinal of London
Season 4, Episode 2
A classic carryall tote is a must have for any capsule wardrobe, but that doesn’t mean you’re required to stick with simple black leather. Sylvie’s stunning brown woven tote is super sleek, but not at all boring, and I love that it comes with so much built-in structure. There’s an inner zippered pocket running down the middle compartment so you can organize your daily needs into two open slots, and those gold bag charms are super trendy right now (although you can also remove them, if you prefer).

5. Vivenne Westwood Louise Heart Crossbody
Vivienne Westwood
Season 4, Episode 5
No need to wear your heart on your sleeve when you can wear it strapped across your torso instead. The combo of the bold-colored plaid plus the heart shape, and of course the iconic Viviene Westwood logo, is a lot for one mini purse. But it works precisely because of the petite size. This is a bag that’s meant to feel like fun, meaning you can pair it with other cheeky pieces just like Ms. Cooper or use it to dress up a basic tee and jeans.

Tod’s
Season 4, Episode 4
Leave it to Sylvie to make a leather crossbody feel fresh and new. The vertical shape and gold hardware give this Tod’s design a utilitarian vibe that’s elevated with the smooth leather and impeccable stitching. Plus, it also comes with a shoulder strap if that’s more your vibe. Right now, Sylvie’s beautiful green hue appears to be out of stock, but fingers crossed it makes a comeback in the (very) near future.

Ozias
Season 4, Episode 7
Why settle for a basic black shoulder bag when you could have one with a faux-fur trim? I love that this baguette style looks so low-key at first glance, but becomes more and more interesting the more you study it. Plus, the brand, Ozias, handmakes each bag to order at a workshop in Paris, giving a truly authentic and unique French feel. Just please skip pairing it with a black beret.

8. Thaden The Whole Medium Bag
Thaden
Season 4, Episode 8
As impractical as Emily’s clothing choice often are, Mindy’s are on a whole other level. Case in point, this stunning architectural wonder by designer Thaden. The accordion-folded leather is accented with brass hardware and there is both a top handle and a crossbody strap. Does it hold a ton? No. Is it worth it just for the constant barrage of “oh my god, where did you get that? It’s gorgeous!” that will inevitably come your way? Mindy would say absolutely yes.
