Bogg Bags are known for being waterproof, incredibly easy to clean, durable, tip-proof, and truly unlike anything else on the market!

Their perforated exterior design makes them both versatile and functional, and they provide space for endless accessories. You can use the holes on the bag to add phone pockets, drink caddies, clip-on keychains, and charms. Needless to say, all of their incredible features make them perfect for any adventure, from the sandy beaches to a getaway weekend!

So what’s not to love?

Their steep prices put Bogg Bags out of reach for many budget-minded people, and the prices on seasonal or trendy colors can tend to be even more inflated. Fortunately, there are a handful of high-quality Bogg Bags alternatives on the market. So skip the hefty price tag and opt for one of our top choices instead!


The BEST Bogg Bag Alternatives:

1. Walmart Time and Tru Beach Tote

This Walmart alternative will save you at least $70 compared to the large Bogg bags. Collin compared the two on Instagram and pointed out that the Bogg Bag definitely feels more durable and comes with those handy clear pouches inside, but if you don’t want to pay full retail, the Walmart version is a fantastic option. It’s super similar in size, holds a ton of groceries or pool gear, and gets the job done for way less. These popular bags are already selling out and may only be available for in-store pickup.

You can also grab this tote in a small size, similar to the Bogg Bag Bitty’s, and Walmart’s is just $15.88! Even better, it’s available in 8 different colors.


2. Simple Modern Totes

You may be familiar with Simple Modern and their popular Simple Modern tumblers, which are a huge Hip team favorite! This brand also makes our top chic pick because, dare we say, the design is even more refined and aesthetically pleasing than the original Bogg Bag. Plus, who wouldn’t love to match their tumbler with their bag?! 🤩

Simple Modern rubber beach totes are remarkably similar and still offer all the same features as Bogg Bags. They’re waterproof, tip-proof, and come in plenty of stylish colors and three different sizes. The large Simple Modern tote is consistently more affordable than a Bogg Bag, with a price of just $69.99.


3. Simply Southern Totes

Not to be confused with Simple Modern, Simply Southern is our most identical alternative for a Bogg Bag lookalike. They have all the same tip-proof and waterproof qualities as the original, and they are aesthetically very similar. Many of the Bogg Bag accessories are even compatible with Simply Southern.

Even though the brand’s large tote is slightly smaller than the large Bogg Bags, they come with the same strap size. Many reviewers prefer the ease of the Simply Southern totes and the fact that their straps don’t get easily twisted.

“If you’re obsessing over the Bogg Bags, you won’t find a better alternative than this! I bought one for my sister-in-law and was so impressed with the quality that I had to grab one too. Living in Florida, I use my Simply Southern tote all the time!” – Erica, Hip reader ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️


4. BuildABagg BocaBaggs

This rubber beach bag is definitely on the pricier side, but you get the ability to personalize it to your style and still spend less than a Bogg Bag! BuildABagg lets you choose the exterior color and customize the handles at no additional cost. Plus, you can score a FREE decorative tassel (a $15 value!). 🙌

These bags are made with the same material as Bogg Bags for easy cleaning. The handles are removable, and they have a grippy bottom to make them tip-proof and slip-proof. You definitely won’t be compromising on style or practicality by opting for one of these Bogg Bag alternatives.


5. Sport-Brella Beach Tote

The Sport-Brella Everything Tote is made of lightweight, durable, and waterproof foam that’s easy to clean. It features a wide-mouth opening and a flat bottom, making it virtually tip-proof, too.

Unlike last year’s version (and the original Bogg Bag), this year’s Sport-Brella tote doesn’t have holes in it, and the handles are now attached to the bag with premium buckles. This allows it to have an enhanced weight capacity of 110 pounds, whereas the original Bogg Bag has a weight capacity of just 40 pounds. Note that it’s only available in radiant raspberry online, so if you love the color, grab it before it’s gone!

6. Mainstays Large Flex Tote

This affordable Bogg Bag alternative from Walmart is definitely worth checking out! With a similar structure and roomy interior, it’s perfect for beach days, pool trips, or running errands with ease.

The Mainstays Large Flex Tote comes in six pretty colors that are all made from durable, easy-to-clean materials. They’re very similar to a Bogg Bagg, but at less than $20, you can buy one in every shade!


7. Sun Squad Summer Tote

Target’s Sun Squad Summer Tote is lightweight and durable, so it will stand up to all your outdoor plans without feeling bulky. With cheerful colors and comfortable handles, you’ll want to bring this stylish tote with you wherever you go this summer.

We love that these bags have so many of the same features you’ll find in a Bogg Bag, but at a tiny fraction of the price!


8. Croc Classic Tote

Croc Classic Large Tote $45+ (reg. $74.99)

The Crocs Classic Tote has that same durable, waterproof, tip-resistant design that’s perfect for pool, beach, or park days, but with a signature Crocs twist. The large size fits up to five beach towels plus all your snacks, drinks, and toiletries, and the treaded base helps keep it from sliding around on wet surfaces or in the car.

We also love that the top tapers for easy visibility, and the dipped curve makes it super comfy to carry on your shoulder. The 52 holes on each side (plus strap holes!) mean you can load it up with Jibbitz™ charms and truly make it your own. Functional, roomy, and customizable? It totally checks the boxes as a solid Bogg-style swap.

Keep this page bookmarked for Croc bags on sale!


Psst… still feel like you need a Bogg Bag?

One of the best ways to save on an authentic Bogg Bag is to keep an eye on their Sale page. This is where you can oftentimes find bags being sold at deep discounts. Just be quick, because they always go fast! You could also consider opting for a bitty size or baby Bogg Bag to spend less. The large size can also be found on Amazon for $90.


These beach hacks are even more genius than Bogg Bags.

    I got one at Simply Southern last October for $20 on sale! My mom asked for one for Christmas so I snagged one for her but had to go back and get one for myself! The accessories intended for BOGG bags (jibbit-style charms, clips, etc.) fit perfectly in the holes of my SS one!

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      SO cool! Awesome that the accessories fit that one so well! Thanks for sharing! ❤️🙌
