{Five Fab} Fall Forecast: Must Have Bags For $40 & Under

As much as I have been on a mission to max this Summer out, I am so excited for Fall and all the rich colors and fabrics and layers. And I have always been somewhat of a bag-a-holic and I always like to add a few new, on trend bags each new season, especially in Fall and Winter.

And if you have been following me any amount of time, you know I like to get the most out of my dollars so finding stylish pieces at great prices is like sport for me. And as someone who eats vegan, I have become more and more interested in adding more vegan beauty and fashion to my life.

I chose these particular bags for a variety of reasons, mainly I loved their colors and how they would work with all the great colors of fall . But also each of them would serve a particular use/function for me.

Racing stripes are EVERYWHERE this season and they are just so fun to me and I love they way the red and blue pop against the rich cocoa brown of this Racing Stripe Clutch. I also love the handle on the back because I hate clutches that you really don’t have something to grip on when carrying them.

The Twiggy Clutch caught my eye because of the gorgeous plum color but also because of its’ slick strap style and how expensive the pebble vegan leather looks. This would definitely be a night out kind of a bag for me, that I would probably rock as a pop of color with all black or some other neutral.


The Shopper Tote is a basic bag and you can never have too many tote bags. I love the soft grey color (comes in black also) and it’s a really good size. I would definitely use it for shopping and running errands. 


I have been finding myself drawn to guitar straps quite a bit over the past few months, and I love how colorful the one on this Guitar Strap Tote is. This is definitely an every day kind of a bag for me because I like how deep it is and and I am always carrying things like my planner, umbrella, etc.

The funky print on the Floral Print Foldover Clutch is fall floral done right for me. The black and blue hues work so well with the purple and the faux suede stripe is a really nice touch. There is also the cutest surprise when you open it up. This would be a casual brunch or night out bag for me.

What say you? Do you love these bags?
