We all have that one fashionable friend who introduces us to products we wish we had bought sooner. Case in point: PureWow Associate Director of Social Strategy Emily Brozyna just told me a story about how she recently asked her "really chic friend" where she got her bag, and was shocked to learn it was from Amazon.

Needless to say, she wanted to buy this woven suede hobo bag (from $40) for herself—but lucky for you (and me!), she couldn't help but spill the tea on the under-the-radar accessory that one buyer says "looks very luxurious."

So, what makes this beauty such a standout? Well, my colleague raved over the quality of the petite purse after seeing it in person, and I'm not surprised. After all, it is said to be handwoven from genuine (and super soft) suede, and even features hardware feet at the bottom to keep it standing upright. One shopper adds, "You would never know this is not the expensive designer version." But that's not even the best part.

The must-have style also boasts a spacious, lined interior with zippered compartments, allowing you to store all your daily essentials, from your phone and wallet to your headphones and sunglasses. Additionally, it has a unique, adjustable strap, which will enable you to wear it either on your shoulder or from the handle, depending on the occasion.

The textured bag is available in several colors (including gray, brown, khaki and olive green), and will run you just about $40—yes, really!

So take your pick, but make it quick, because as one shopper says, "It’s one of those accessories that can go with a casual or dressy look, taking you from daytime to night," and I have a feeling everyone's going to want to get their hands on it (sorry, Emily's friend!).
