If you're a Lululemon fan, you're probably familiar with their bags. And while they're often crafted out of wear-anywhere nylon, shoppers are also obsessed with the Leather Alternative Mini Bag. Why? It's a compact bag with a sleek look that can easily take you from day to night.

With a versatile shape and multiple ways to wear it, keep scrolling to see why this bag might just become your new favourite accessory. P.S. it's $74 off right now — score!
This leather alternative is made from polyester, polyurethane and cactus fibre.
The bag is crafted from a smooth "leather alternative" that's made from polyester, polyurethane and cactus fibre.
The bag is similar in size to Lululemon's popular Everywhere Belt Bag, measuring 8.4" x 2" x 4.3" with a capacity of just over one litre.
It features a chic design with a detachable top handle and adjustable strap, multiple interior pockets for cards, cash and other small items, a clip-on pouch perfect for carrying earbuds or keys, a magnetic snap closure and silver hardware.
You can wear it as a crossbody bag — perfect for running errands — or remove the long strap and carry it as a top-handle bag for dressier situations.
The bag's sleek design makes it easy to elevate a casual look. To keep it looking its best, Lululemon recommends wiping the bag clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth.
With a 4.5-star average rating, shoppers rave about the quality and sturdy material of the Leather Alternative Mini Bag 1.2L.
"Love, love, love it," wrote one Lululemon shopper, who said the "quality is great" and the material is a "great alternative to leather."
Another shopper wrote that they own Lululemon's entire collection of leather alternative bags and that the quality of the material is "amazing."
"This is such a versatile little bag!" wrote another shopper. "It's appropriate for everything from running errands to a night out. It's small but still fits the essentials."

"The quality of this bag is really impressive," added another. "It's cute, versatile and there is enough room for your basic needs."
Lululemon customers who purchased other items in the brand's leather alternative line, such as the leather alternative Everywhere Belt Bag, have also said that the material is "easier to keep clean," "durable," and has "more longevity than the cloth bags," while also looking more high-end.
However, some shoppers do caution that it's a very small bag — if you're looking for something that can hold a lot, this isn't it.
"When they named it mini, I think they misspelled micro," a shopper joked. "The interior could fit only my iPhone, glasses and a lippie. No room for even a slim wallet."
If you're looking for a versatile everyday bag that can be worn in multiple settings, Lululemon's Leather Alternative Mini Bag is a stylish option for summer.
While the bag is a bit pricier than Lululemon's other mini bags, but it's a versatile piece that can be taken easily from day to night, and shoppers say it's "cute" and "really impressive" quality.
That said, if you're not a minimalist, this bag might be too small for your everyday needs.
