4 Types of Totes That Aren’t Your Canvas Carry-All

If a tote bag brings to mind the ragged canvas carry-all you take to and from the gym and grocery store,then you are missing out on some of the best bags. A purse that is practical yet pretty, simple yet spacious, these totes can do more than errand duty.

Luxe Label

Looking for a designer purse at a portion of the price? Don’t buy a luxe label wallet in lieu of their handbag just to have a piece of your favorite brand. Instead, opt for one of their totes. With simple clean lines and two handles, designer totes sell for less than their other bags, and have so much more room.

Eco Chic

Are you a card carrying, clog-wearing member of the eco-clan? Then you probably have a ton of canvas totes stashed in every crevice of your closet. But just because you’re an eco-warrior doesn’t mean you can’t be chic too. With sustainable and cruelty-free options on the rise thanks to designers like Stella McCartney, you don’t need to stick to your graphic canvas totes to make a statement.  Instead, try a bag that looks as good as it is for the earth and you’ll really get people talking.

Heavy Lifter

Looking for a carry-all that can really carry it all? While plenty of totes are spacious, not all can stand the weight of a heavy load. If you need one that can handle everything from a gallon of milk to a pound of flour, get a sturdy leather tote. The holy grail of textiles, leather will look even more charming with age, so you’ll love this tote for years to come.

Career Carrier

The woman working her way up the career ladder needs a bag that works as hard as she does. So, skip briefcases that demands to be carried by hand and purses that are too small to be useful and find a bag that you can really count on. A structured tote will fit everything from your computer to your planner with space to spare, and with a few sophisticated details it will be perfectly office-appropriate.

Not the flimsy fabric totes you’re used to, these bags can handle whatever you throw in them. Get one, get them all—you’ll never go back to your fussy clutches and tiny crossbodies.

These totes are total must-haves.
