A New Day mini straw bucket bag

This straw bucket bag, available in classic black and bright orange, is the perfect choice for summer. The small but spacious design fits everything you need, although it doesn’t seem too big to carry around for a night out. Plus, the woven paper straw makes this an elevated beach style that you can wear with a more casual or dressy outfit. Reviewers said it was a “great value” and “big enough to carry all your essentials.”

A New Day Woven Soft Crossbody Handbag

This soft-shoulder woven handbag I just bought was so easy to justify considering it looks like the $3,500 designer version I’ve had my eye on for years. And although it’s only $30, shoppers were “so impressed” with the “quality.” This spacious style includes an interior pocket for storing important belongings, like your wallet or keys, and the zipper adds a layer of security. Other customers said it’s “perfect for spring and summer” and “feels really comfortable when worn on the shoulder.”

A New Day Beaded Mini Bucket Bag

This mini embellished bucket bag looks a lot more expensive than it is thanks to the faux pearls and faux cubic zirconia accents. It has a beaded handle, a large main compartment with a drawstring closure, and a foldable design that allows you to easily store it in your suitcase for traveling. Customers called the pearl and CZ “a perfect combination” and said “the canvas drawstring lining makes it usable as a casual handbag as well as for (fancy) occasions.”

A New Day straw bracelet clutch

I always struggle to find the right handbag to wear to a wedding, but luckily Target solves that problem for me with this wristlet clutch prepared for the season’s evenings. The style is available in four different colors and has a convenient handle. Additionally, the design includes functional card slots and a magnetic closure that will keep your belongings secure. One shopper said the “cute little bag” held all “your essentials”. Another added that “when you wear it as a bracelet, your hand rests comfortably on it” so you “don’t have to grab it.”

Ahead, you’ll find more elevated summer handbags and totes under $35 from Target.
