Tote bags for women are one of those necessary wardrobe essentials that no handbag collection should be without. Generally featuring comfortable, long straps that fit over the shoulder or sturdy top handles, these carryall bags are roomier in size and the grab-and-go option for all your daily necessities and more. Perhaps you are heading to a day at the office, laptop, and lunch in tow, or stepping out for a farmers-market haul, tote bags are the ideal handbag choice that won’t let you down. And if you’ve found yourself with 20 random cotton bags collecting dust under your sink, it’s time to purge and invest in something with a little more lasting power that can be used for purse purposes and beyond.
Fabric choices are limitless when it comes to tote bags, ranging from sumptuous leather to nylon, canvas, and crochet, so consider function and what you might be using yours for when making your pick. Look for versatility as well, like double-duty straps that allow for multiple ways to hold and carry and special features like hidden pockets for stashing all those little extras. And when it comes to design, keep things clean but fashion forward. A heritage logo print, cool color, or even chic hardware finish adds plenty of style points to the simplest of shapes.
