These 23 Expensive-Looking Totes Will Actually Fit All of Your Things
Maybe an It bag gives you status, but a tote bag gives you the kind of thing that status doesn't guarantee: practicality and stability. It bags come and go, but tote bags are truly forever.
Tote bags are always a safe call because they've never gone out of style. And now they are actually coming into It-bag territory too. Micro-bags feel like a thing of the past, and the most popular bags just keep getting bigger. If you don't want to invest in a piece that feels too trendy but still feels of the moment, a good tote will be timeless. You can get a leather one for year-round use or opt for a woven or netted option that's perfect for vacation. Best of all, whether it's Bottega or Zara, the silhouette naturally has a luxe feel to it.

Canvas
You can never have too many canvas totes. New York It girls are actually known to carry more than one at all times. They're perfect to pack for the office or throw over your shoulder for a weekend farmers-market run.
Woven
We can all thank Jane Birkin for proving that a woven bag can be truly chic. And while you may assume they're only for the summer months, they add some great texture to any look, regardless of the time of year.
Structured
A structured tote will truly stand the test of time, and everyone could use at least one. You can always rely on them when you need to carry your entire life with you but don't want to sacrifice style.
Netted
Like woven bags, netted totes are often seen as a warm-weather essential. And while, yes, they'll look great styled with a bikini and a colorful cover-up, you can still add them to a simple look for a more whimsical touch.
Leather
In my opinion, you can never go wrong with a great leather tote. It's a versatile piece that comes in handy whether you need to carry around a laptop or pack a light weekend bag.
