Sometimes you just don’t have enough pockets for the things you need to carry. That’s where this stylish-looking cross-body bag comes in handy. Spacious enough that you can tote all of your essentials, yet not so big that it is cumbersome to carry. Made from sturdy artificial leather, this bag is perfect for when you travel and right here at home. Best of all, they cost just US$26 and worldwide shipping is free. |
