Michael Kors is selling a $558 tote for just $87, and fans say it's 'gorgeous'

Crossbodies are cute and belt bags are trendy, but if you're looking for a purse that meets your everyday stuff-schlepping needs, a tote is the way to go. Whether you're heading to the office with important papers and a tablet in tow or you're running around with the kids and need supplies for unexpected "emergencies," nothing beats a big, boxy shoulder bag. It's wise to invest in one that's designed to last, like the chic Michael Kors Voyager tote — and right now, it's on sale for just $87, down from $558.

Why is this a good deal? 💰

Let's crunch some numbers here. The original price of this purse is more than six times the sale price. That's a massive markdown any way you look at it, especially in the realm of designer accessories. There are tote bags selling on Amazon without the fancy name brand that cost more than this Michael Kors piece. Need even more convincing? There are pre-owned versions of this bag selling on eBay for more than the brand-new one. Yes, people, this is pretty much the definition of a good deal.

Why do I need this? 🤔

Carrying the right handbag can be the difference between feeling totally organized and together or completely frazzled and all over the place. With three interior compartments, an interior zip pocket and two outside slip pockets, this tote will ensure you're always in that first category. Not only is there plenty of room for everyday items like your cell phone, wallet, keys and makeup, but there's ample space for extras like a book, a water bottle and snacks for the kiddos.

To the naked eye, this purse looks a lot like leather, but it's actually coated canvas, which is more durable and less prone to scuffing. It also happens to be way easier to maintain, no special leather cleaner or conditioner required.

The best news about this bag, though? All the colors! There are seven to be exact, many of which are bright, fun and perfect for the warm summer months.

What reviewers say 💬

It's safe to say this classic, practical style has its fair share of fans.

Pros 👍

"It's the perfect bag," one shopper declared. "It's deep with pockets. It's beautiful, and I get a ton of compliments on it. The side pockets are great for your cell phone and sunglasses. The material allows you to wipe off any spills easily."

"Love this tote," another shared. "It's roomy enough to fit everything you need and more. I love the side pockets for my water bottle and phone."

"Such a gorgeous bag. Big enough to carry all your things. Has a key pocket as well as a middle zipper section with lots of room. Love it. Highly recommended," a third fashionista wrote.

Cons 👎

"The bag is large and gorgeous, but the color is not as pink and rosy as advertised," one buyer explained. "It’s more of a washed-out pink like the other bags. It's still beautiful, just not what I expected."

Someone else noted, "I love the bag. My only dislike is that it doesn't come with a storage bag."
