This viral Lululemon tote looks like it costs so much more than it does — here's why we predict it will sell out
If there's one thing fashion lovers, gym-goers and jet-setters can all agree on, it's that a good tote bag is hard to find. You want something that looks luxe but doesn't scream 'trendy for five minutes,' something big enough to hold your laptop, water bottle and snacks (yes, snacks are a non-negotiable!), but not so oversized it looks like you're moving out. Oh, and bonus points if it doesn't cost as much as a month's rent.
Enter Lululemon's Classic Knit Tote Bag 18L, the latest viral accessory that's quietly becoming the bag of the summer. TikTok can't stop talking about it. Reddit's raving. And shoppers everywhere are double-taking because, well, this sleek tote could 100 per cent be mistaken for something straight off the runway. However, here's the plot twist: it's under $200, made with durable fabric and designed to handle real life.
Shop in two colours: French Press/Sand Trap/Antique White (pictured here) and Grey Eucalyptus/Jade Grey/Peroxide.
Looks aside, this bag seriously delivers when it comes to function. With an 18L capacity, it can easily fit your laptop, gym clothes, snacks, beauty pouch and probably even a small dog (not recommended, but theoretically possible). It also features multiple interior and exterior pockets to keep your essentials organized — no more digging around blindly for your lip balm or earbuds.
And let's talk materials: the water-repellent knit fabric means a little rain or a spilled latte isn't going to ruin your day (or your tote). It's strong, structured and wipes clean easily, which is exactly what you want in a daily carryall.
While there are no reviews on Lululemon for this tote quite yet (it's brand new), the bag is certainly having its moment on TikTok. One shopper said, "the strap quality is sturdy," and another raved that it's 'literally so cute!'
The smaller version of the best-selling tote is also roomy enough for everyday essentials.
At $168, the Classic Knit Tote Bag 18L is definitely an investment, but compared to similar styles from luxury brands, it's a steal. It brings a high-end look to any outfit without the high-maintenance feel. If you're into bags that look expensive, work hard and effortlessly elevate every outfit, this one's worth the hype. Shop it while you can because something tells us this one won't stay in stock for long.
