Arguably the most practical bag one could ever own is the tote. Capacious and capable to fill your daily necessities, the simple design of a tote – often with an open-top allowing for easy access – is undeniably useful.

It’s a handy, grab-and-go kind of bag. And, while it may not be the obvious choice for formal events, you can still place your fancy purse in your roomy tote when the occasion for a posh purse comes a calling.
