It’s pretty much undisputed that Beyoncé is the queen of Instagram fashion shoots and of couture: we’ve caught her ‘grams of a stunning $7,560 date-night outfit—and who can forget that $22,000 kimono she wore…to a basketball game? But what’s a little less visible is that she knows good design doesn’t necessarily mean a high price tag. Three of her most recent Fashion-with-a-capital-F posts, in fact, feature her working a more affordable accessory: the woven Parme Marin bag that hangs from her hand is $150.
On Friday, she posted three images of herself in 16 different poses showing off some high-waisted plaid shorts, a denim top with a ruffled neckline, a pair of black heels, and a killer blue lip. The star of the look, however, is Parme Marin’s circular Tadlak Small Bag, which is handwoven with palm leaves and lined with African fabric.
Not in its product description? Considering there are 1 million likes and counting on the images, chances of the Bey-approved bag selling out are probably pretty high.
It’s not the first time we’ve seen her play the other side of the high-low fashion game recently: earlier this month, she showed up to Rihanna’s Diamond Ball in a $165 House of CB gown. Then there’s her activewear line, Ivy Park, which is also fairly affordable with workout leggings for $65 and T-shirts for $30. Even Bey’s stylist recommends shopping at Target, which we can so get behind.
Straw, wicker, and other woven bags have been big for a few seasons now, along with straw hats—and after this, we’re pretty sure they’ll continue to be. It has to be said: it feels good to know that even if we will never be Beyoncé, at least we can dress like her.
