Yep, I know some of you will turn up your nose at these Woman Wink but I was in Walmart Sunday. and they had handbags (they called them totes) on clearance for $11 and $13  They had several three toned colors (mixture of black, brown and beige and a few other colors-a cute red black and white).  They are roomy, have a pretty, colorful fabric liner with a zip up pocket inside and one outside. Handle that is not a strap, but large enough to put over your shoulder. I think they are super cute-I got two and may go back for a third at that price. I don't know if all Walmarts have them.

Thanks for the alert.  I like non-leather handbags during the Fall/Winter when it's raining and wet.

Hey, who cares if others turn up their noses?  It's your money & if you found something you like, then good for you for bagging your bargains!  I hope you enjoy them in good health!

A great bag doesn't necessarily need an expensive price tag! i have bags from 12 to 1200 bucks and they are all loved and well used! It doesn't matter what anyone thinks! If you love it, that is aok!

I actually used one of the bags for the first time today.  Like all "bottomless" bags, you have to organize things to find them, but it was great and the handles were long enough to fit just fine over my shoulder.

I only use crossbody bags and more than half of them have come from Walmart. I usually get compliments on them and when I tell where they are from they are amazed.

I have a nice floral canvas summer tote bag that I bought a couple of years ago on clearance for about $7 from H&M. I probably wouldn't have looked twice at it but it ended up being a nice bag that I could carry around when I needed to carry a second bag when shopping and it was useful for holding a sweater or jacket.

So often cute and functional is all that is necessary.  I have my "Walmart" sweater for warmth while dressing down, why not the bag too.  It is nice to not have to worry what spills on anything some days.
