Lululemon may be best known for its yoga and athleisure wear, but the popular Canadian apparel and accessories brand has also gone viral in recent years for its bag collection, with its Everywhere Belt Bag now a staple at festivals and sporting events alike, and handbags and totes that are as practical and stylish for workouts and travel alike.

Lululemon rarely discounts its collections — let along its bags — but we’ve spotted a limited-time deal on one of the brand’s most popular (and viral) silhouettes.

City Essentials Shoulder Bag 4L

LIMITED TIME DEAL

City Essentials Shoulder Bag 4L

$54 $98 45% off

Buy Now AT LULULEMON

Right now, shoppers can pick up the Lululemon City Essentials Shoulder Bag for 45 percent off. This is also the lowest price we’ve ever seen for this purse.

The moon-shaped bag measures approximately 11.4 x 6.9 inches in size, with an adjustable strap that lets you wear this over the shoulder, as a crossbody or tucked under the arm. The 4L capacity means this bag is roomy enough to fit a mini tablet or Kindle, along with a wallet and small water bottle, but still compact enough to wear out to dinner.

Along with the main zippered compartment, there are two “drop-in” pockets on the side (great for your phone or compact) along with an exterior zippered compartment that’s a great place to keep cash, ID or other essentials you need quick access to.

Prefer a smaller bag? Lululemon also has the City Essentials Shoulder Bag in a 3L capacity for 24 percent off.

Designer nylon purses retail for hundreds of dollars these days, but this is a rare opportunity to find a similar nylon sling bag for under $60. The nylon exterior is durable and water-repellant, while the approximately 8 x 10 bag size (in the popular crescent moon shape) is ideal for everyday carry.

The shoulder bag has one main zippered compartment, with interior pockets for organization and safe stashing. The bag comes with two adjustable straps so you can wear it under the arm, or extend it to wear as a crossbody.

SHOP LATEST LULULEMON OFFERS

This isn’t part of any official sale and as with most Lululemon deals, these ones won’t last long so we recommend adding to cart while the discount is live on the website. Only select colors are on sale. See the full selection under Lululemon’s “We Made Too Much” section, which also includes apparel and accessories for men and women under $50 and $100.

POPULAR PICK

City Essentials Mini Shoulder Bag 1L

$58

Buy Now AT LULULEMON

You can also pick up the mini version of the City Essentials bag for just $58 right now at Lululemon.com.

The mini sling bag measures 7.5 x 5 inches in size and is the ideal purse for a night out, with a chic, 90s-inspired silhouette and just enough room for your makeup, keys and essentials. Choose from three colors online.

Note: while this 1L size is not part of any current sale, the $58 price point is super reasonable for a trendy nylon purse of this shape and quality. This is also one of Lululemon’s staple bags that likely won’t get a markdown anytime soon.
