First impressions are everything, right? I certainly think so, which is why I can't gatekeep the Geelyda woven tote bag (from ~~$37~~; $35). When I first came across it on Amazon, I knew it was something special. Not only does it resemble a designer handbag and cost a fraction of the price, but it also comes with a matching pouch, allowing you to stay organized in style.

It's currently available in four colors—including black, bright black, brown and coffee—starting at $35. If I were you, I would grab as many colors as I can. After all, the sleek shoulder bag, which is handwoven from vegan leather, is gaining popularity quickly among fashionistas who want a high-end look minus the price tag. In fact, one shopper said they have to remind themselves that this isn't a designer bag because the quality is just that "top tier."

The slouchy tote has a luxe boho vibe, and features a magnetic closure that helps keep your items secure. Plus, it fits a ton, from a 16-inch laptop to an iPad, water bottle and notebook.

As one buyer says, "The appearance of this bag is so rich looking, the color is fantastic and basically can be considered a neutral that goes with anything." Another confirms just how well it stands up to everyday wear: "I have had it for a while now and it’s still in perfect condition. I use it daily. Fits everything. The weaving stays intact. Easy to wipe down and clean."

And remember, you'll also receive a zippered pouch with it, which can hold your Apple AirPods, lip gloss, concealer, some floss...you get the picture. So do yourself a favor and secure this expensive-looking bag now before it sells out, because I've already seen it popping up on my Instagram feed and folks are rushing to get their hands on it.
