2. A waterproof tote with a gorgeous golden zipper to close the top and keep your valuables safe inside.
Promising review: "This bag is the perfect size for college! It fits my 13-inch Macbook like a glove, along with other things like a notebook, planner, and wallet. I've been using it for a month now and it's still in perfect condition. It rains a lot where I live, so this bag keeps all my things dry. I also love the key leash attached to the bag. No more digging at the bottom of the bag for my keys." —Christine N
Price: $39.99 (available in four colors)
3. A 100% cotton shoulder or cross-body bag so you can rock your minimalist style at a minimal price (under $20!). And it's made with a snap closure, one inner pocket and two outer pockets.
Promising review: "This tote bag really hit a home run for me. Not only does it fit my laptop perfectly but the khaki matches all color schemes of clothing. It's sturdy, practical, & couldn't ask for a better size. Really pleased with my purchase & look forward to expanding my purchases if more colors come to opportunity." —Berenice
Price:$17.99 (available in seven colors)
4. A genuine leather tote with two main pockets, a central zip pocket, and three other interior pockets because you just have so many things to keep organized and that's ok!
Promising review: "I love that it has several pockets and zippered parts, plus the top zips close unlike most totes. Color is great; the leather is soft and sturdy with a slight sheen. Big enough to fit a pair of shoes and all my stuff for my commute." —Jenna6288
Price: $53.99 (available in seven colors)
5. A waterproof option to keep your smaller items all in one place, thanks to its magnetic buckle closing and an interior detachable zipper pocket. No more digging around in the dark for your keys!
6. A dual-colored tote that'll be perfect to bring your lunch to work or school plus whatever other goodies you like to keep with you throughout the day.
Promising review: "It's been nearly three years and I've used this bag EVERY. DAY. It carries my lunch, coffee thermos, keys, notes, and more. On the weekends I can lug around a small load of groceries, snacks for the movies, or whatever I buy out and about. I've washed it a few times, too, and stains come out perfectly. I can't say enough about how well made this bag is!" —Specialk
Price: $15.46 (available in four colors)
7. A waterproof beach bag, because those cotton ropes are almost too cute to handle! It also includes a phone case and built-in bottle opener because c'mon, beach priorities!
Promising review: "This beach bag is perfect for me! It’s very roomy & I love the removable waterproof pouch inside. The outside pockets at either end are great for sunscreen lotion and a water bottle. Plus it folds flat to pack in my luggage for a cruise. I really like how wide the rope handles are, making it comfortable on your shoulder." —jo5280
Price: $39.99 (available in large or XXL)
8. A vegan leather tote for a slouchy, open top vibe anyone on-the-go would love to have in their closet.
9. A canvas option made with plenty of interior storage and a fully zipped closure for anyone who has things falling out of their bag 24/7. *Raises hand slowly*
Promising review: "I love this bag! It's huge without looking like it is. I can pack for a weekend in it easily with no worries since it has a zipper closure. The bottom is really wide but the pleated style of the bag covers the fact that you're carrying a small suitcase on your shoulder." —pdpandb
Price: $21.99 (available in six colors)
10. A see-through tote so you have something stadium-approved for sports games and concerts! Clearly this is the tote for you.
Promising review: "This bag is the best! It was a great price, there are no seams along the sides that can pop open. It is roomy, has a zipper, long handles and a sturdy shoulder strap. I do not worry about carrying my personal items in this bag when we go to the arena or stadium. I highly recommend this bag!" —LMFerron
Price: $7.99 (also available in red or a set of two for $12.99)
11. An eco-friendly shoulder bag, because not only is it handcrafted from Thailand but 15% of the profits are donated towards the conservation of lemurs. *cries into tote*
Promising review: "What a nice bag! Very well made and comfortable to wear. Really like the big outside pocket. Supports a great cause too!" —Amazon Shopper
Price: $19.99 (available in five designs)
12. A floral computer tote that'll fit any laptop up to 17" plus a charger, mouse, and even a spare notebook. Normally laptop bags are super dull, so I love how bright and happy this one is!
Promising review: "Beautiful bag! My laptop fits perfectly inside the bag with more than enough room for my laptop charger, mouse, and notebooks. The inside has two compartments: one side for the laptop and one for your other items (it has pockets for your mouse/charger/phone and a set of pockets next to it for your credit cards). There is a padded divider between the two compartments which provides some protection for your laptop. The bag itself is lightweight, but not flimsy, which provides another layer of support. Very satisfied with the bag!" —Amazon Customer
Price: $36.99 (available in two sizes and three colors)
13. A functional bag with four easily accessible exterior pockets, because who else is tired of digging around for their keys, phone, and wallet!?
Promising review: "I absolutely LOVE this bag! I am an in-home social worker and this bag is perfect for daily use! It holds my laptop, file folders, and everything else I use on a daily basis. The material is durable and easy to clean. I spilled juice on the bag and it wiped right off. Very happy with my purchase!" —Hanna Mallette
Price: $38 (available in 14 colors)
14. A *reversible* vegan leather tote that'll transition perfectly from a fall look to a super bright summer style.
Promising review: "Absolutely love it! It looks extremely expensive. The stitching is excellent, and it's much bigger than I thought it would be. Easy to reverse to either side. Clutch strap can be removed and reversed, as well. I'm not a pink person, but there is just enough to be bright and fun and not overpowering. This bag can easily be used year-round, camel for fall and winter and peach for spring and summer. Can't believe the low price I paid!" —Connie
Price: $22.99 (available in seven colors)
15. A high quality bag designed with a fully zippered top and a variety of patterns so you can add fun colors to your everyday outfits.
Promising review: "This bag is perfect! I needed one for work to fit my laptop and notebook. Also pens, phone charger, and other small miscellaneous things. My laptop is a 15" and the inside is just about that size. You may be able to fit a 17" in there snugly though." —Indomexican0304
Price: $17.98 (available in three colors)
16. A neoprene option you can convert into three different styles and sizes. It'll be perfect for this summer because you can machine wash all the sand out post-beach. Unfortunately it can't remove all the sand from your hair!
17. A tote for showing off the best parts of your personality and interests with over 20 designs to choose from!
Promising review: "I use this bag everyday to haul things to and from work, namely a bunch of filled water bottles. We're going a couple of months strong and there's no noticeable wear or tear. It's a solidly made bag and lets me display my geekiness. So much room for things! I bought one for my mom as well, and she loves it!" —K. Smith
Price: $14.99 (available in 22 designs)
18. A large chevron utility bag so you can load in this week's groceries without using those plastic bags. Help save the planet!
Promising review: "I purchased these totes and couldn't be happier! Such an affordable price and these are much bigger then my other totes. So far I've had them for a couple weeks and have used them for grocery shopping, a beach trip and for bringing things to work!" —Amazon Customer
Price: $11.99 (available in five colors)
