Budget-Friendly Bags: 15 Trendy Totes Under $50

Posted Tuesday June 5, 2012 2:41 PM GMT

We love a sleek clutch for evenings on the town and stylish chain strapped purses for swanky luncheons.

However, when it comes to carrying a bag on the daily that’s large enough to hold all of our most precious and needed possessions (agendas, makeup, phone chargers, ehm - romance novels, etc…) we leave the job to a trusty tote!

Large and spacious, yet totally trendy and sophisticated, a large carryall is just the thing every girl on the go needs to hold things together. We love them not only for their stylish nature, but also for their versatility.

Going to the gym after work? Just throw some shorts and a tank in your bag. Have a hot dinner date to attend once you leave the office? Stash your makeup bag in your purse and do a quick touch-up before you send your new man’s heart all a flutter.

Sure, you can invest bookoo bucks into a fabulous tote and justify the purchase by saying those four famous words, “It’ll last me forever,” and yes, it probably will. Or, if you shop within a budget, know that there are a slew of handbags you can purchase that will be complimentary to your wardrobe and gentle on the bank account.
