This Geometric Bag With A Chic Gold Chain

The sides of the bag rise up higher than the center, with a slender buckle strap securing the design in the middle.

A Crossbody Bag With Eye-Catching Black Trim

Eye-catching faux leather black trim around the perimeter of this semi-circular bag coordinates with the faux leather strap and black-toned top handle chain; it also serves as a grounding element for the bag, clearly defining the saddlebag shape. The clear constriction complies with most festival and arena requirements, a circular black-toned wristlet handle offers even more versatility, and a snap closure helps keep your wallet and phone safe.

The Clear Backpack You Can Style Two Ways

The slender faux leather straps of this backpack connect at the top center, aligned with a central zipper that runs the length of the bag; this creates a streamlined look that also cleverly allows you to style it two ways. Adorable worn over both shoulders as a backpack, you can also sling it over one shoulder, and the two straps will appear as one for a fun and functional twist. Roomy enough to fit necessary items like your wallet and phone, it can even accommodate a water bottle and snacks, and it’s crafted from long-lasting GRS Certified PVC, so you can use it again and again.
