Korean Rubber Handbags

The idea of carrying around a rubber handbag may seem silly, but it has actually been a popular fashion trend amongst Koreans for a hot minute now. These handbags usually have an open top since they are designed with the intent of making the contents of the bag as visible as possible from the outside. Now you can easily flaunt your fave fluffy pouch or plushie without even removing it from your bag! You can get this one for $40.
Pastel Rolling Luggage

Planning on travelling soon? There are some adorable luggage options available at this market, especially these pastel ones that come with smiley faces and flowers. There are a variety of sizes available, but stocks have been running dangerously low due to how popular they are — so make sure to swing by quickly if you want to grab one! The pastel pink luggage model with a smiley flower costs $90.
