This month’s 10 for $10 is the same ol’ when it comes to format – 10 gift ideas for $10 or less, not including tax or shipping. This month I’m focusing in on bags of any form; makeup bags, change purses, totes, wallets, you name it! If it’s something you can load up, it’ll be on this list. Cause after all, a gal (or guy) can never have too many bags.
Metallic Quilted Eco Tote Bag – $8 @ Forever 21
Not going to lie – it was hard to pick just one bag from the dozens under $10 at Forever 21. But the mass appeal of this slightly spacey tote caught my eye (as did its iridescent sibling). Perfect for toting books, lunch, or everyday essentials.
Donalworld Women’s Korean Leather Handbag – $7.93 at @ Amazon.ca
I’m not sure what’s cuter – the candy-coloured colour blocking on this fun tote (which comes in 3 other combos if the pink on melon combo above doesn’t strike your fancy) or the whimsical heart keychain that comes with it.
Transparent Mini Pouch – $8 @ Urban Outfitters
It’s sparkly! And clear! And sort of like 90s jelly sandals but in a cute little pouch form! I love this little zip pouch for keeping your essentials together in the vast sea of your purse (or for a night at the bar when a purse just won’t do). Pick it up in blush pink (above) or silver.
Y Crossbody Bag with Tassel – $10 @ Bentley
Looking for something a little simple that’ll go with everything? Look no further than this affordable shoulder bag. I love it for days when you need to downsize – like attending a sporting event or a concert. Also available in classic black.
Ice Cream Wristlet – $5.99 @ Urban Planet
When you’re strolling to the nearest convenience store for a popsicle on a hot summer day, skip the heavy tote bag and opt for this cute wristlet instead. Stash spare coins, your ID, and a tube of lip gloss for a night out with the girls.
Medium Zip Wallet – $9.50 @ Ardene
Looking for something simple to keep your cards and cash organized without breaking the bank? This faux leather wallet is a wardrobe staple that comes in an array of colours and finishes at Ardene.
Hudson’s Bay Company Multi-Stripe Canvas Tote Bag – $10
Add a little Canadiana style to your wardrobe with this durable canvas tote, bedecked with the Bay’s signature stripes. Great for shopping or having handy in the car – it also doubles as a gift bag if you stuff it with some other HBC merch!
South Beach Pink Metallic Pouch – $10 @ ASOS
I mean, if you’re going to go for a seasonal novelty message, it may as well be a tenner or less right? Be sure to check out the companion ‘Shell Yeah‘ bag too.
Mapletop Women’s Shoulder Bag in Green – $7.80 @ Amazon.ca
This Kelly Green bag is a total steal at under $8 – making it a no-brainer to add a few new accessories to your wardrobe as the season calls for them. This particular hue looks fresh in the spring and summer in particular.
Beauty on the Fly Bag – $5.95 @ Sephora
I cannot tell you how many times I’ve seen less experienced travelers have their beauty products tossed at security. Prepare yourself – instead of stocking up on CATSA-issue plastic bags at the airport (which uh, I totally do), nab this slightly more durable option that meets international flight standards for transporting liquids – and looks chic to boot.
