I don't know about you, but the second August hits I'm so ready to switch over to a fall wardrobe. While it's definitely still too hot for me to be breaking out my favorite sweaters and boots, I will be swapping some accessories into my rotation to start getting in an autumnal mood. And I'm starting with this lululemon Leather Alternative Mini bag (was $148, now $74) that has such a luxe look—at such a shockingly good price point—that it's sure to sell out in a blink.

This mini crossbody bag, which has a 1.2-liter capacity, is made from an innovative cactus fiber material that serves as the sleekest-looking leather alternative, and is currently available on deal in both Chestnut Brown and Black colorways. It boasts both a structured top handle and an adjustable crossbody that can be added or removed to take the bag from casual daytime outings to dressy dinners and soirées. The strap also comes with a cute attachable pouch that's the perfect size for stashing your AirPods, a few lip balms or keys. For added organization, it has an interior zippered pocket and a slip pocket at the back.

So what are shoppers saying about this incredibly versatile (and high-end looking) crossbody? I'll let this reviewer tell it: "Perfect size, great structure, the flap opens so easily to grab something quick. Fits my wallet, phone, keys, lip balm and a pack of gum with ease. So chic and timeless, I adore using it." Others call out that they've received tons of compliments on the bag, and that it's a great size for busy days out.

The only downside? At a price this good, I expect this bag will be gone long before the first leaves turn, so if you're hoping to get your hands on it for fall (like I am), I'd suggest scooping it up ASAP.
