Lululemon shoppers say they 'love, love, love' this faux leather bag — and it's $74 off right now
With a versatile shape and multiple ways to wear it, keep scrolling to see why this bag might just become your new favourite accessory. P.S. it's $74 off right now — score!
This leather alternative is made from polyester, polyurethane and cactus fibre.
The bag is crafted from a smooth "leather alternative" that's made from polyester, polyurethane and cactus fibre.
The bag is similar in size to Lululemon's popular Everywhere Belt Bag, measuring 8.4" x 2" x 4.3" with a capacity of just over one litre.
It features a chic design with a detachable top handle and adjustable strap, multiple interior pockets for cards, cash and other small items, a clip-on pouch perfect for carrying earbuds or keys, a magnetic snap closure and silver hardware.
You can wear it as a crossbody bag — perfect for running errands — or remove the long strap and carry it as a top-handle bag for dressier situations.
The bag's sleek design makes it easy to elevate a casual look. To keep it looking its best, Lululemon recommends wiping the bag clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth.
With a 4.5-star average rating, shoppers rave about the quality and sturdy material of the Leather Alternative Mini Bag 1.2L.
"Love, love, love it," wrote one Lululemon shopper, who said the "quality is great" and the material is a "great alternative to leather."
Another shopper wrote that they own Lululemon's entire collection of leather alternative bags and that the quality of the material is "amazing."
"This is such a versatile little bag!" wrote another shopper. "It's appropriate for everything from running errands to a night out. It's small but still fits the essentials."
$74 $148 at Lululemon
"The quality of this bag is really impressive," added another. "It's cute, versatile and there is enough room for your basic needs."
Lululemon customers who purchased other items in the brand's leather alternative line, such as the leather alternative Everywhere Belt Bag, have also said that the material is "easier to keep clean," "durable," and has "more longevity than the cloth bags," while also looking more high-end.
However, some shoppers do caution that it's a very small bag — if you're looking for something that can hold a lot, this isn't it.
"When they named it mini, I think they misspelled micro," a shopper joked. "The interior could fit only my iPhone, glasses and a lippie. No room for even a slim wallet."
If you're looking for a versatile everyday bag that can be worn in multiple settings, Lululemon's Leather Alternative Mini Bag is a stylish option for summer.
While the bag is a bit pricier than Lululemon's other mini bags, but it's a versatile piece that can be taken easily from day to night, and shoppers say it's "cute" and "really impressive" quality.
That said, if you're not a minimalist, this bag might be too small for your everyday needs.

A ribbed button-up tank top with some real Abercrombie & Fitch energy to perfectly straddle that line of "professional" and "I am 100,000% going out after work today, and a martini glass will be involved." A strapless maxi dress designed with such high-quality material that reviewers are *delighted* by how easy it is to transition this from a casual shopping look to "oh boy, I've been invited to a fifth wedding this summer" look.

This is designed to be supportive without being too compressive, with lightweight fabric that keeps you breezy in the heat. The iconic "Maya Dress" from Lisa Says Gah, aka the ultimate travel Instagram dress — this distinctive, adorable showstopper will make any special occasion feel all the more memorable.

A lot of reviewers swear by this versatile number for traveling, since it packs well and can be dressed up or down! A square neck "going out" top that isn't NOT a near perfect lookalike for the $38 Skims and $40 Abercrombie versions.

An oh-so-sweet ruffled skort so you can have all the daintiness of the tiered, flowing layers with all the security of comfy built-in shorts. TRY IT, wind!! I dare you! A sleeveless tennis sundress for anyone whose fitness goals always include a checkbox for "be as cute as possible." This dress features a full built-in compressive romper on the inside for support while you're moving and grooving, making it an excellent option for travel, too. A crochet knit sweater vest you can just as easily pair with denim or a skirt as you can throw it on over a swimsuit as a cover-up. An affordable sleeveless exercise romper you will be SO glad you bought on days when the sun is trying to bake you like cookie dough. These are medium-compressive, soft, breezy, and SUPER easy to throw on when your brain is too fried to match a top and a bottom in the heat. Bonus — these are comparable to Aerie, Abercrombie, and Hollister versions that can go for three times this price! An oversize two-piece blouse and shorts set, because if there's one thing that's definitely not going out of style this year, it's our love for breezy matching sets. The actual audacity of these outfits to look so put together and elevated while also being so darn comfy! A wildly popular floral print sheer cover up for the perfect finishing touch to all your warm weather outfits that won't make you swelter in the heat. Reviewers especially love how easily this packs (and photographs!!) for travel. A pair of super lightweight drawstring elastic shorts you will be SO happy you invested in when you need an elevated piece to toss on without thinking, like when you're walking the dog early in the a.m. or heading to a last-minute outdoor lunch with pals. A gorgeous crossover halter dress that delivers on all fronts — it's versatile, ridiculously comfortable, and juuuust the right amount of show-stopping to become your "signature piece" for all your warm weather celebrations.

Reviewers love how cozy and breathable these are, and that the style is perfect for indoor lounging *and* outdoor errands. A tea-length trapeze dress so flowy, lightweight, and comfortable that you might forget you had to dress up for on occasion altogether. A two-piece tie top and maxi skirt for the ultimate "you simply could not PAY me to pick out a whole outfit that goes together" hack. Now you've got a guaranteed polished, lightweight, comfy look ready to go in your closet at all times, no brain cells required. A pair of drawstring wide-leg linen blend pants clearly designed by someone who thought to themselves, "What if I could take pajamas and make them look expensive and chic as all heck for daytime wear?" Now is their time to shine. A fairytale-worthy floral chiffon dress so dreamy that every time you wear it people will be like, "Wow, the wind was a paid actor." A nostalgic ribbed tube top Brami that solves the problem of "but what BRA do I wear with this??" once and for all — this comes with a comfy, supportive bra already built in, making it a *breeze* to throw on with any outfit, no bra math required. A denim tie-strap dress so darling that you'll feel like a doll come to life every time you wear it. Someone needs to get you a one-way ticket to BarbieLand, stat!

37 Boring But Deeply Effective Products
A 3-in-1 charging cord to juice up your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods all at the same time. (It's giving witchcraft??) This just solved all your "welp, everything's dying and there's only one outlet in this car/on this flight/in this teensy hotel room" problems for good. A delightfully affordable instant foot peeling spray so you can go full YEEHAW!! on an at-home pedicure without the big salon price tag. This not only helps gently remove dead skin, but moisturizes dry and cracked heels, so you'll really get some refreshing bang for your buck. A teensy two-in-one nausea relief inhaler designed to help with spontaneous nausea, motion sickness, morning sickness, and general queasiness (having a human body is hard). You can either use it as a scent inhaler or rub it directly on the tip of your nose for relief. Summer road trips and cruises just got a HECK of a lot more bearable. Hawaiian Tropic's SPF 30 Mineral Powder Sunscreen Brush, aka your scalp's BFF this summer — reviewers don't just swear by this for face coverage and a protective setting powder, but for protecting their hairline without their hair getting goopy from sunscreen scalp sprays or regular sunscreen lotion. Bonus — this is a heck of a lot cheaper than its competitors, like the $35 Supergoop and $36 Brush On Block! A "spray and go" enzyme-based laundry stain remover — all you do is spray the offending spot, rub it into the fabric, and leave it in your hamper until the next wash. It'll get the stain out during the washer cycle with NO other effort from you, and works on everything from discolored dried sweat to oil stains to grass stains to mud. A "Skoy Scrub," aka the secret weapon in your cleaning arsenal — this reusable, dishwasher-safe scrub will be tough as nails on stains and grime, but safe to use without scratching or damaging non-stick pans, ceramic, glass, and cooktops. A super effective and strangely whimsical foaming drain cleaner for anyone who wants to make cleaning a whole aesthetic. This gentle but powerful foam will pull up gunk and clean out drains in sinks, bathtubs, and floor drains, helping prevent plumbing issues and making everything smell ~squeaky clean~. A holy grail extra-thick, oven-safe silicone baking mat to inspire you to get cracking on all those baking adventures you've been putting off — reviewers are in love with how thick, durable, non-slip, and easy to clean this is, and that it's heat-safe up to 480 degrees F. The included recipe book and built-in measurements and conversion tables are just another added bonus! A vacuum-free space-saving compression bag so easy to use that all you'll have to do is stick your clothes inside, zip up the bag, roll the bag, and watch all the excess air get squished out of them until your clothes magically shrink. Yes, maybe it's only a weekend trip, but some of us need OPTIONS!! A 10-pack of powerful mosquito repellent balls for your backyard, patio, or picnic days that you can safely leave on a blanket or near your table to deter those pesky lil' vampires without slathering bug spray all over yourself. These work up to 125 square feet for 60 days, so they'll make for a perfect long-term solution, too! An airtight Deli ProKeeper so beloved that it's gone viral on FridgeTok (if you know, you KNOW).

And a reviewer-beloved four-piece airtight food saver set designed to adapt to the shape of halved fruits so you can snack or cook at your leisure without worrying about food waste. Truly, what wouldn't we do to keep a perfectly ripe avocado half safe?? A painless, mint-flavored teeth-whitening pen reviewers swear by as an alternative to pricey professional treatments and strips, like the $45 Crest White Strips. This gets results from the very first use, lightening up years' worth of stains from coffee, tea, wine, or just, you know, existing as a human with teeth. A no-scrub weekly shower cleaner you can quite literally "set and forget" to maintain its cleanliness over time — once you apply it after a shower, you just have to wait eight to 12 hours and it'll quietly tackle the soap scum, grime, oils, mold, and mildew stains without any elbow grease from you. A bladeless, oscillating Dreo Tower Fan reviewers especially love for their bedrooms and offices because it is SO so so whisper-quiet. This remote-controlled fan with nine different speeds and four modes is basically the height of summer luxury — especially because it uses sensors to adjust wind speed as the temperature shifts throughout the day. A hairbrush cleaning tool designed with a pointy end to easily rake hair out of your beloved brush in one go, plus bristles to get rid of all the build-up left behind. Now you just have to deal with that giant hairball when it tries to reincarnate as a Furby. Lumify Eye Drops, a product so beloved by TikTok that despite being more $$ than other brands, it's the number one selling brand on Amazon right now. Reviewers swear by this for instant reduction in redness in their eyes, with visible differences within a minute of use. A set of reviewer-beloved "Loops Quiet 2," aka the "earplugs for people who hate earplugs." These lightweight plugs are so subtle that people won't notice you wearing them, and are meticulously designed to muffle distracting, irritating, or overwhelming noise without completely blocking out the world around you. Reviewers love to wear them at the office or in noisy homes — this way, they can still stay aware of their surroundings without getting overwhelmed by them. A set of Victoria's Secret–inspired seamless "invisible" underwear so soft and stretchy your butt will want to *sing* when you slide them on. This is a true holy grail underwear that doesn't show, doesn't ride up, and somehow manages to look cute all at the same time. A set of disposable Plackers "Grind No More" Night Guards for anyone who sleeps like this 😬😬😬 and wakes up like this 😫. Each one of these grind-absorbing bite plates can be used up to 30 times to help reduce the tension from grinding your teeth in the middle of the night. Psst — this is also a MUCH cheaper alternative to costly bite guards that go for hundreds of dollars! A jewelry-cleaning stick with cleansing solution on a brush designed specifically to get in the nooks and crannies of your jewelry, so you can dig out all the grime that's accumulated over the years on the cheap instead of taking it to the jeweler. A set of heavy duty Tub O Towels wipes that are most definitely not here to play — they're basically the paper towel version of The Rock and can lift up stains on anything from grease to permanent marker to nail polish. Bonus: they're tough on stains, but the aloe vera in them makes them super gentle on skin! A gaming/reading/laptop pillow to prop your hands up while you're playing video games, typing, or reading on your Kindle or iPad. This will support your arms for a more ~ergonomically-friendly~ experience, whether you're in bed or on a couch, and even features a lil' side pocket for things like remote controls, glasses, and — of course — emergency snacky snacks. A drain snake you can funnel into your shower or sink drain that honestly works a little *too* well at unclogging hair in older sinks and bath tubs, pulling it up in one (semi-horrifying) go before you have to resort to potentially pipe-damaging traditional drain cleaners. A portable car vacuum that will let you explore the great outdoors or enjoy a particularly messy snack without worrying about it all piling up until you have to get an expensive deep car clean. With this easy-peasy gadget, you can scoop it all up and leave your interiors looking brand spanking new. A pack of dual-sided SneakErasers designed so that one side of them cleans scuffs, dirt stains, and grime, and the other side whitens them, restoring your sneakers and their soles to their former glory. Take THAT, passage of time. A bottle of sulfate-free biotin shampoo that thousands of reviewers swear by for helping restore their hair and promote healthy hair growth over time. It also includes nourishing ingredients like rosemary oil, zinc, and coconut oil to help moisturize locks and give them a fuller, more volumized look. A lawn dog spot repair treatment to help your grass look as spiffy and green as it did before Fido decided to mark their territory by peeing in the same parched spots over ... and over ........ and over again. Reviewers notice results within *days* (and your bank account will weep in relief that you didn't hire lawn professionals to do it). A reviewer-beloved veggie chopper that'll get you uniform, oh-so-satisfyingly cut veggies instead of buying the expensive precut ones at the store. This gadget juliennes, chops, spiralizes, and slices vegetables in an instant and has a built-in storage container to hold the chopped veggies so you can pour them into a pan or dish without any mess. A magnetic folding pill organizer with conveniently visible pill windows for easy access. Each has six small compartments for little pills, plus a large compartment for capsules and vitamins, making it ideal for days where you might need a lil' emergency pharmacy in your bag but don't want to take up space. A set of luxurious Fomin antibacterial paper soap sheets that come in tea tree oil, sweet orange, and refreshing lavender scents, so even when you're washing up on the side of the road, you can feel like the belle of the ball. Reviewers are especially obsessed with how well these lather with just a little water, giving them an effective, delectable-smelling clean! A set of reusable Gripstic bag sealers, which are sticks that will clamp over open snack bags to make sure they're genuinely sealed and airtight. (We cannot risk letting our beloved Cheez-Its get stale!!) These will also save a lot of space compared to regular chip clips and are safer, considering there isn't a spring that could either wear out or break on you in the middle of sealing something. 😬 Sprayway Glass Cleaner, a reviewer-beloved cleaning staple that did *not* come here to play. This streak-free, fast-acting foam is so effective at cleaning surfaces that a lot of businesses and offices swear by it for that oh-so-squeaky-clean look. A 52-week tear-off meal planning pad with space to plan all your meals in advance, plus a weekly shopping list you can grab and take to the store with you to keep yourself on track for your budget goals. (Unless there's a new flavor of Oreo to try, in which case, ABANDON BUDGET SHIP.) An AirPod cleaning pen so you can skip costly repairs — all you have to do is gently dig into the nooks and crannies of your charger and speakers to restore your sound quality to top-notch again. (Listen, Taylor Swift did not record the 10-minute version of "All Too Well" for you to disrespect it by blotting it out with too much earwax!!) A Bentgo stackable lunch container perfect for commuters who want to get back in the groove of bringing cheaper lunches from home again — this right here is a perfect leakproof, sturdy option for your mobile salad/charcuterie/"girl dinner" situations. It's also nice and deep for mixing salads, has an upper compartment to keep your other ingredients separate, *and* a container for dressing. A roll-on migraine stick made with peppermint, spearmint, and lavender oils to help you soothe away headaches, which frankly have a lot of audacity interrupting your day.
