I need to purchase a large tote or handbag for school since my other bag unfortunately broke (again). I’m looking for something under $40 or $50, preferably in a neutral color such as brown, black, or gray, although I am open to other patterns or hues. In terms of size, I need something that can comfortably hold a few textbooks (I believe that my past bags have been approximately 22” by 17” by 17” (although adjustable to smaller sizes)).
I would prefer a somewhat structured bag as opposed to just a mere tote bag, something that doesn’t look “cheap” (ie a tastefully faux leather or a durable fabric). I am a high school junior, if that helps any. 
I would really appreciate it if you could post links to specific, recommended handbags, since I’ve had a bit of trouble finding something in my price range that I really like.
Thanks for the help!
I’m not really into carrying something plastered with name brands — I’d say that my style is somewhat classic and refined (also defined as preppy haha) although I pride myself on my ability to seek out bargains (I don’t think I’ve ever spent more than $30 on a single casual item lol). I’d prefer suggestions in keeping with that theme. Thanks . . .
I’m not really into Abercrombie and Hollister and American Eagle and all those stores, if you get my drift . . .
Also, could you please post links for convenience? Thanks!
