Tote bags are a true MVP of your handbag lineup. While some say basic, we say essential — as useful for your office commute as they are for a weekend getaway, out-and-about strolls, a farmer’s market visit, or a day of antiquing. Plus, there are tons of on-trend styles from our favorite brands that make hauling your life around look effortless.
Think of totes as emotional support in functional accessory form: always there when you need them, holding way more than you probably should be carrying, and just plain dependable. Leather tote bags help you get to and from work in style, zip tote bags keep your valuables (hello, laptops!) secure while traveling or on the go, and woven raffia and crochet totes make beach days a breeze.
