You've got this in the bag.
Promising review: "This exceeded my expectations. It looks and feels like leather. It's soft and sturdy and hold tons of crap that I drag to the hospital for work. I get compliments on this bag every day. It comes w a little bag/purse inside that has a detachable shoulder strap and a wristlet style wallet that's attached to a handle of the big bag, but you could remove it if you like. 👍🏻💗💗💗👍🏻 In the pictures, the open one has a tablet and a notebook inside. It would fit a regular-size laptop." —Long winded in Cali.
Price: $25.99
It's also got a removable crossbody strap!
Promising review: "This really is a cute little purse that's perfect for my needs. It comfortably fits my 7" Kindle e-reader, my phone, a micro mini travel umbrella, a bulky set of keys, a small notebook, and a tube of lip gloss. For me, the size is perfect. I don't carry a lot with me and I use the inner pockets as my 'wallet.' If you're looking for a small purse, this is a good bag. As far as construction goes, it seems really well-made and solid, and it has a hard bottom, which is a must for me." —Catmish
Price: $21.99+ (available in 10 styles)
It's got a chic little jeweled bee on the clasp, too!
Promising review: "I can't begin to tell you how much I love these purses (I purchased the black and the red). They are gorgeous, and just the size I was looking for. They are a little on the small side (I got the medium), but still large enough to carry the essentials. I use mine for special occasions and Sabbath synagogue worship. The colors are vibrant and the hardware is lovely and adds a wonderful touch to the overall look. I'd write more, but I just don't have words to tell you how much I'm loving both of my new handbags. I will probably be back for more!" —Coloratura Kiki

Promising review: "I'm absolutely in LOVE with this purse! This is my first ever crossbody. The idea of having less space almost made me back out, but I'm so dang glad I didn't. It was able to fit all the things I wanted and it's the perfect size. Not only is the style and color gorgeous, but the functionally beats any bag I've ever owned by far!!! It has three compartments on the inside. The middle one is smaller, but perfect for my Note 8 phone. The other two are perfect for helping me stay organized. Plus, there's another open pocket I use for lipstick, eyeliner, etc., and an inside zipper pouch I use for tampons and hair ties. Finally, I use the outside zipper pouch for headphones and my knife. I will DEFINITELY be buying more in different colors!" —AllisonW08

Promising review: "How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I've purchased and returned a few purses because they weren't quite right. This one, however, is perfect. It's soft, lightweight, casual chic, and very functional. I love the color and the strap was just long enough." —O.
Price: $17.59 (available in four colors)
It's also got a strap on the back that can be fastened around a suitcase handle, plus tons of interior and exterior pockets!
Promising review: "This is just a great bag. It's big enough for everything without being so big it overwhelms you. It has enough room for a full-sized hairbrush, a Kindle (plus another book or small notebook if you want), a cosmetic bag, and even a rain hat. There are several options for where to put your cell phone and passport. It has ten pockets for credit cards, and since you can put more than one in each slot, it's hard to imagine needing more. Inside you'll find two big pockets so you can remember just where you put things, and there are two front outside pockets plus one on either end. The bag is extremely nice-looking; it's sleek and dressy enough to take anywhere, with nice hardware that's not overdone. I love the strap. It's wide and soft so it doesn't cut into your shoulder, and it's totally adjustable. Empty, the bag hardly weighs anything, so how heavy you make it is up to you. I've had other Baggallini bags and loved them all. They last forever. It's about the best bag you can get for the money anywhere." —Kat McQueen

Promising review from Yi Yang, a fellow BuzzFeed Shopping & Products writer: "A couple months ago, I wouldn’t have considered buying a see-through bag, even though it’s a big trend ATM. However, as more and more events started coming up (like baseball games, concerts, festivals, and museum trips), I started warming up to the idea. A lot of venues require bag checks at the entry and some stadiums even go as far as requiring clear bags for safety reasons. As soon as I received this, I knew I'd made the right decision. The plastic is thick and durable, the stitching is neat and even, and the hardware is a true gold tone. It’s also crystal-clear, with no yellow tinge or cloudiness. The bag is actually pretty spacious — I can fit my wallet, sunglasses, phone, some makeup, keys, and random bits and bobs in there. I’ve taken this out a few times, and bag checks have been extremely swift at every venue. I’ve also gotten tons of compliments from people who see it. The classy design makes it suitable for everyday wear, and it adds a lot interest to a boring ol' outfit. I highly recommend it."

Promising review: "I ordered the black and was so pleased once I began putting my usual items in the compartments. This has three compartments and I put my wallet/business card holder in the middle one. The front compartment is for my cosmetics — lipstick, compact mirror, eye drops, and lip balm. The back compartment was able to accommodate my readers and sunglasses, yet the purse is still lightweight and not bulky. A place for everything and everything in its place. It's not real leather but the quilting gives it a high-end look. The strap is easy to adjust and and the flap with the latch that goes over all three compartments gives it an added security. Each compartment has a great quality zipper. I can actually stay organized in a small handbag! Highly recommend. It can be for daily casual use or dressy enough for night out. Easy to pack in luggage or carry on as an extra purse." —AdalineB
Price: $14.98+ (available in seven colors and styles)
The wristlet strap is also removable, so you can also use it without any straps at all as a pouch or wallet in a bigger purse!
Promising review: "I'm so in love with this little purse. I needed a small bag to hold my phone, cards, and makeup at a concert. I wanted it to be cute without being in my way. This definitely served that purpose and I use it all the time now. I'm planning on buying some additional colors. It fits the iPhone 7 Plus if you don’t have too much else in there." —Danji

Promising review: "I got this backpack to take with me to Europe. I wanted something prettier than an outdoor pack. I especially liked this one because you can turn it from a backpack into a shoulder bag. Many of the museums won't allow backpacks, but shoulder bags are okay, so this was great! It's got lots of great pockets. This bag has been from Delaware to Venice to Provence to Amsterdam and back to Delaware. It will have many more adventures I'm sure!" —AnneEG

Promising review: "This is up there with my favorite purses ever. I love showing off my Hufflepuff pride with a stylish, cute purse. It's really amazing quality and well-made" —Jessica Benjamin
Price: $52.95 (available in four houses)
Promising review: "I love this purse. It's exactly what I wanted. There's tons of space and I can even use it as a diaper bag when needed. There are also tons of pockets. I've had this for several moths, and it shows no sign of wear yet. The color is beautiful (I have the mint green), and the smaller hand straps are sufficient to wear on my shoulder. Worth the money!" —Tasha L.
Price: $32.99+ (available in six colors)
You can also swap out the crossbody strap for the included wrist strap!
Promising review: "I LOOOOVE this purse so much! I usually hate purses but I love how compact this one is. It's the perfect size. My iPhone 7 fits perfectly, along with my tiny card case wallet, some lipstick, and any other small, random things I need to carry. I'm a plus-size lady (size 22) and crossbody purses have to be a certain length to work properly. This one actually hangs in the right place and the length is adjustable! The fringe has lasted over a year without losing ANY strands. I love the inside details like the striped fabric and the little pockets (one with a zipper and one without). I've used this purse for over a year and it's just now starting to wear a little bit, which is impressive for the price! Seriously, if you're considering buying this product, you won't regret it!" —FearLizz
Price: $15.95 (available in 15 colors)
Both the shoulder strap and shorter handle are removable, so you can wear it several different ways.
Promising review: "I was so pleasantly surprised with this little gem! It's a beautiful handbag and looks a lot more expensive than it is. The material and hardware look high-end. I'm so, so happy with this bag. I may get another in a different color." —Michael W.
Price: $39.99
Promising review: "I absolutely love my bag. It’s better than designer bags I've owned. This bag is a quality material and the color is beautiful. The magnet closure is strong. My water bottle fits inside nicely without hanging out, and the bag still closes. Bucket bags are my preferred style of bag because my wallet, glasses, and water bottle fit nicely inside with easy access. I love that it’s not floppy and that it stands when I have to set it down." —Amy Torman
Price: $39.99 (available in four colors)
Promising review: "I'm EXTREMELY happy with this purchase. I usually stick with Coach, Fossil, and Lucky Brand purses, but this looks and feels very classy. It can easily be worn over my shoulder and there's plenty of room inside. I ordered the camel color and absolutely love it. I highly recommend it." —Andrew Fiedler
Price: $29.99
Promising review: "I love it! After lusting after a similar designer bag which cost over $390, I discovered this one, read the reviews, and bought the large one. The leather is gorgeous, with the color darkening toward the sides. It's large enough to hold everything I could possibly want to carry: my iPad, makeup bag, hair brush, and wallet. This bag looks just as good as a $390 bag. This is a fantastic bag for a super reasonable price!" —JLeah
