JW Pei is an Asian- and family-owned brand with minimalist accessory designs that are made with sustainable vegan materials. I own two of the brand's bags (and might just buy this one for myself too) and every time I leave the house with them, I just get DOUSED in compliments. People always assume it's a much pricier designer bag and are glad to hear that they can buy them on Amazon!

Get it from Amazon for $71.99+ (available in several colors and three types).

Promising review: "Did you see them on TIkTok? Oh, they are the ones! The 'white' is an off-white, just so you aren't surprised. But this off-white is darker/different than other companies I've purchased from ... we were beginning to flirt with the idea of beige. Still comfy though!" —Rae S

"Every time I wear these people ask where I got them and are intrigued 😂. I wear these every day! The material was harder/not as cushy at first but after breaking in they’re soft and cushier. Also can be cleaned/disinfected easily if I wear them out and get them dirty. Sizing is accurate." —Genie Isaacs

The best part is the thick rubber sole. I can wear these to walk outside and they don’t get worn out on the bottom. I typically wear a 9–9.5 and I bought a 9. They fit like a glove." —Marty

This is my colleague Kayla Boyd wearing this set! Here's what she has to say about it: "I love a matching set because it takes most of the work out of putting an outfit together. And this one is such a great deal! I love how comfy and easy it is to wear. I was concerned about it being see-through, but it wasn't! It has a stretchy waist and a cute tie detail in the front of the skirt. For spring days, I just throw a denim jacket over it. And, of course, I plan to wear it all summer as well. I would 100% buy more colors in this — and there are so many to choose from!"

Promising review: "I’m 5'2 and currently 33 weeks pregnant. I’m normally a small and I ordered a small. The dress was snug, but is a stretchy material so it stretched well to fit the bump. I got a lot of compliments on it when I wore it to lunch and from others on social media. I’m short and wore flats so you’ll see it did not really go all the way down to the floor. It has adjustable straps and the material is like a thick sweater stretch material." —Jessica

Promising review: "This dress is so incredibly gorgeous. I've been very into the high neckline trend and I think it's so flattering. II can wear it with flats or heels without worrying about it getting dirty. I love that it comes with a little matching string to tie at the waist for a more fitted look. It's so comfortable and flowy. It's exactly what I was looking for and the colors are gorgeous. :)" —Paisley

Promising review: "This is a very cute rainbow crop top. The fabric is very soft, not itchy at all, and it fits exactly as I expected! The colors are very pastel/light and not overly bright. Very affordable for what it is. Exactly the right size; don't buy any smaller than you're used to (because it won't fit). Also, when I opened it up at first, it looked way too small, but when I actually put it on, it was comfy and PERFECT. I would definitely recommend this product for someone who is looking for something casual and comfy!" —Gina
