Wait, This $20 IKEA Bag Is Ridiculously Cool
Where do you look for affordable, on-trend bags? We'd venture a guess that Zara, Topshop, Pixie Market, and similar places top your list. Well, as it turns out, IKEA makes a mean bag too. Who would have thought? While scrolling through Instagram, I came across blogger Linn Eklund's cute photo and immediately tapped the photo to find out the brand of her bag. Yep: IKEA.
The bag was from the Swedish retailer's summer 2017 collection, so it's no longer on IKEA's website, but I did a bit of digging and found the bag on Amazon for a mere $20. Oh, and I also found another version in blue and pink with a very on-trend circular handle. Eklund styled hers with designer pieces—specifically a Balenciaga coat and Chloé pants—but the colorful bag could be paired with basically anything in your closet. Scroll down to see how Eklund wore it and to shop the bag for yourself.
