It should come as no surprise that Meghan Markle can even make her casual, running-errands outfit look polished and chic. And we think we might know the reason why. Her secret is to pair simple basics with elevated accessories, something Markle showed off recently when she stepped out carrying maybe the most stylish tote bag we’ve ever seen.
Markle was spotted leaving a store in Montecito with some shopping bags in hand. Her laid-back look, consisting of a brown utility coat, straight-leg jeans, simple flats and a printed scarf, was cute, but it was her sleek, camel-colored bag that really caught our eye. Unfortunately, that exact Polene Cyme bag costs a little more than we’d like to spend, but we were able to find a very similar version from Walmart – and it costs less than $40.

The Time and Tru Tulip Tote Bag is functional, with a minimalist style that mimics Markle’s bag. It has a similar curved silhouette and also comes in a brown shade (it’s just a little darker), with the same strap design: one set of straps is long enough to wear over your shoulder, while the other set is small enough to carry in your hand.

While the Walmart version looks like it might be a little larger than Markle’s bag, that’s probably a good thing. The roomy interior makes this an excellent work bag, with two smaller pockets and one zippered pocket for organization. It’s functional but also chic, and it definitely appears to be more expensive than it is.
Shoppers agree – one reviewer noted that the bag “looks far more high-end than you might expect,” and added that the bag is “big enough to carry a large iPad and maybe a smaller laptop.” Another shopper raved, “I get so many compliments for this beautiful bag!”
Another thing shoppers love is how functional it is. “I love this bag for my work tote,” one reviewer noted. “It holds my laptop and all my stuff, long shoulder straps with a second option for carrying – stands on its own. Great value and does not look cheap for faux leather.”
With its pretty floral-inspired design, this tote bag is perfect for spring and summer – but honestly, it can be used at any time of the year. Be sure to snag one now to channel your inner Montecito mom style, just like Markle.
