It’s Tote Bag Season – Here Are Some Of The Best
If there’s one accessory that will never go out of fashion, it’s a hard-working, fit-your-life-in tote bag – everyone needs one in their wardrobe. From Bottega Veneta’s timeless Hop holdall to Loewe’s Puzzle tote, investing in an expertly crafted, practical style will not only elevate your day-to-day looks, but, if treated well, could become your very own slice of fashion history to pass down to future generations.
Totes make for the perfect work bag. Roomy versions are especially practical, ready to fit personals including laptops, lunches, make-up bags and paperbacks. Sturdiness is also essential: you need something that will remain securely on your shoulder (no one wants to be struggling with their bag in a crowded commuter carriage).
Balenciaga’s Le City is a firm favourite within the team – vintage versions boast worn-in charm – while Dragon Diffusion’s distinctive woven leather is a regular sight on the streets of London, and looks equally lovely in muted shades of monochrome as it does brighter greens and reds.
DeMellier is a go-to contemporary bag brand beloved for its timeless approach to totes, shoulder bags and crossbody bags, all of which are perfect for everyday usage. For example: the curvaceous Stockholm bag, featuring top handles and a generous interior, was a hit from last year, carried by celebrities and fashion insiders alike.
