Loved for being the most low-maintenance accessory around, the tote bag is a trusty companion in daily life. At its core, a tote bag is a wholly functional accessory — two handles and one large compartment offer the most basic form of portability. It doesn’t have to stop at functionality, though. With some of fashion’s favorite names trying their hand at the tote bag, there’s a wealth of exciting totes that fulfill both form and function.
Labels like Burberry, Jil Sander, COMME des GARÇONS, and more impart their luxurious vision on the basic tote bag with a mixture of different materials and designs. From PVC to soft linen, this selection of designer tote bags represents the intersection between high-end fashion and the most foundational levels of accessories.
The beauty of the tote bag also lies in the fact that it's not picky about where it's taken or what it's used for. Whether you're hitting the park or transporting your work tools to the office, we've rounded up the very best designer tote bags for work or for play.
