Not Leather Everyday For Everything Bags
I absolutely adore a leather (or suede) bag, but…. I put everything in my bag that includes snacks, hair oil, hair brushes, pilates socks, pens, and lip gloss that always looses it’s top. So my every day bag is a cloth bag that won’t hold those smells/oils. While I had one that I LOVED, it was from amazon, the quality (surprise surprise) just wasn’t there, it fell apart after 8ish months. And I had the Sunday’s Best Idolize Tote from Artizia and it just sucked to take things in and out of. While I haven’t tested all of these bags they fit my criteria of having a cross body strap option, a top zipper (or secure closure), and are not made of leather.
So, here are some bags that look fun that could be used as every day bags rather than a big leather bag.
My Everyday Bag
Ralph Lauren Quilted Floral Cotton Small tote
I have this in blue and it is my every day bag, I know it’s not cheep, but when I wear something like a purse every day it means I have to see it everyday… which means I have to love it. It’s the perfect mini (ish) size to fit everything I need on the daily.
Lululemon Knit Nylon Mini Bag
Hear me out… we all loved the fanny pack sling bags, but they aren’t really big enough for your every day take everywhere bag. This is a different shape and a little more fun. I have owned a few lulu bags in the past and have run them through the wash and they hold up! which is always a plus.
You can also find a lot of lulu bags second hand on deepop and poshmark for a fraction of the price
L.L. Bean 1994 Boat and Tote Crossbody
The classics are coming back… this bag literally is perfect for everything the off white color makes it work for every season.
LongChomp Le Pilage Energy Large Crossbody Tote
Like I said… the classics are back. I love a LongChomp bag (even the all leather version) this one is the perfect size for every day comes in several colors and can be found on most of the second hand sites.
