    With seemingly unlimited budgets, my favorite A-listers have access to designers I can only dream about. That's why, when I came across Freja New York, an under-$500 handbag brand worn by Jennifer Lawrence, Hailey Bieber, and Katie Holmes, I had to get on board ASAP. Now, I'm happy to report the label's pieces are more attainable than ever during Freja New York's Black Friday Sale.

    Right now, you can score up to 30 percent on Freja's website with its tiered discount—purchase one item and earn a 25 percent discount, or two or more items for 30 percent off.

    For the perfect intro to the brand, start with one of Freja's cult-favorite shoulder bags—A.k.a., the bags that have already caught the attention of It girls everywhere. For instance, Holmes wore matching baggy jeans (and Freja's Caroline style!) with her daughter, Suri Cruise, for a day out in New York City. Lawrence was spotted with the brand's Christie Bag, not once, but twice, while out and about in New York.

    I, for one, am partial to Freja's tote bags. The brand's Lafayette Tote is the best laptop bag I own. I've been carrying it for well over a year now, and it still looks just as luxe as when I first got it.

    Trust me, I've put it through the ringer, too—every day I pack my laptop, water bottle, lunch, multiple perfumes, a planner, and my daily makeup routine into its many pockets. What's more, I can always count on it to go with my minimalist outfits thanks to its sleek, structured style.
