Double Tap to Zoom

The rightful downfall of the plastic bag paved the way for tote bags to become the world's most relied-upon accessory. Whether on grocery store trips, park excursions, or long days at the beach, the tote is the perfect accessory for those times when your bag might be in for a beating.

But alongside the affordable shopper, the high fashion world has fully embraced the tote, too, with the likes of Porter-Yoshida & Co. and Marni among those offering luxury iterations of the (faux-)humble sidekick.

Tote bags are an essential that you will soon find yourself unable to leave the house without, if not already. With that in mind, we took to the net to rack up the best around, from standard canvas tote bags to some that are a little more unconventional.

Check out the best tote bags to buy this season.
