Top Totes
From 2020-2022 it seemed like the micro-mini bag reigned supreme. Pioneered by brands like Jacquemus, the smaller the bag, the bigger the statement. It’s hard to imagine that we dished out $300 or more for bags that fit around our thumb and fit a single lipstick or even less - a single quarter. These bags had us in a chokehold but the tides have turned and it looks like tote bags are the bag to have for the foreseeable future. We predict that these tote bags are going to be a hot commodity for seasons to come. Here’s our list of tote bags we’re adding to our wishlist this season.
1. Mansur Gavriel Cabas Tote Bag
This Italian vegetable textured leather bag features a sleek skinny strap and large tote design that’s perfect for work, running errands or a chic addition statement bag for dinner with friends.
2. Saint Laurent Rive Gauche Raffia Bag
We may still be in the midst of winter, but our sights are set on our next beach bag for summer and this oversized raffia tote is just what we have in mind.
3. Tod’s Mini Leather Tote Bag
For those of you looking for a slouchy tote bag style, this may be the bag for you. Sporting the signature Tod’s “T” emblem, this smaller tote version is a great alternative to the large tote but for smaller feats.
4. Balenciaga Quilted Leather Tote
This quilted tote is definitely in the oversized category. Could this be your next travel tote? Or perhaps a chic baby bag for moms with serious style. Either way chicness ensues.
5. The Row Idaho Bag
It’s no secret The Row has mastered the art of minimalist essentials and this bag may be the epitome of their signature style. Featuring a handheld strap and square silhouette this bag is our go-to for a carry on, business bag and even a potential dog carrier for those of you with dogs that have true taste.
6. Loewe Panda Raffia Tote
Loewe is renowned for their playful take on clothing, shoes and yes, handbags. This raffia tote has an adorable woven illustration of a panda climbing a tree. We don’t know what it means, but we’re obsessed with it.
7. Khaite Sara Leather Tote
This bag is a sculptural statement to be admired. Its triangle shape is a statement bag that also has a chic understated quality.
8. Bottega Andiamo Bag
The woven handbag made quite a stir last season with imitation bags on Shein and Temu running rampant. This oversized tote in the same style is a great addition (and big sister) to your Bottega collection.
9. Tod’s Suede and Leather Top Handle
Another must-have from Tod’s but for the suede lovers out there. This caramel brown suede tote is a nice change of style from the leather choices on this list.
10. Chloe Money Whipstitch Tote
Last but not least this Chloe bag is inspired by equestrian saddle details with its flaps and fringe strings. This top handle carry bag is great for everyday wear and maybe a chic bag for the ranch?
