10 Everyday Totes That Will Get You Through Spring

Tiny, but mighty, this tote is classic with a textural twist. Madewell’s traditional transport totes are made from smooth leather, but this woven wonder has all the great features the brand’s classic bags do with an updated look. A removable crossbody strap makes it easy to carry, and the inside is roomy enough for your phone, keys, wallet, and a small cosmetics bag.

Sometimes it is better to go big than go home. Despite this tote’s large size, it’s super lightweight and can actually be packed away into the interior pocket for easy travel or storage. Made from recycled nylon, this bag can take a beating and be washed in the washing machine when necessary. It’s the perfect bag to bring to the park or on a weekend trip, as it could easily hold a blanket or couple days’ worth of clothes with room to spare. If you like the style but want something smaller, you can also grab the bag in a medium or small size, too.

Having pockets in a large tote is key. It’ll keep you from losing your phone or key in the abyss that is your bag, and it’s great for keeping things separated. This tote has compartments galore: Four outer pockets for things like water bottles, flowers, or more, an outer slip pocket specifically for your phone; three interior pockets for the small stuff, a laptop sleeve, and a removable neoprene water bottle holder. Commerce editor Katie P. has this bag in the large size, and she says it’s great for the farmer’s market because it keeps her produce from being smashed, keeps her wallet handy, and she can even put her small dog in the main compartment in a pinch.

If you only carry the bare necessities, then a slim tote is the way to go. The narrow profile is sleek, but it’s still large enough to hold a laptop, magazine, and wallet without looking overstuffed.

Woven totes scream “beach day,” but this bag can definitely be used in places other than sandy shores. It comes in three different strap colors (gold, brown, and ivory) and has a roomy shape that’s great for a picnic blanket and snacks or your essentials and a sweater.

It’s not a great idea to have your electronics floating around with random odds and ends in your bag, which is why you should opt for something with a laptop or tablet compartment if you tend to carry tech with you. This bag is full of pockets, including a padded laptop sleeve inside. The top zips closed to keep all your belongings safe and secure, too.

Don’t underestimate the capacity of this simple bag. Despite its small size, it can hold up to six wine bottles, and we wouldn’t even judge you for toting that many around. It’s made from recycled plastic water bottles, can be folded down flat for storage, and it stands up on its own for easy filling.

Wanting to channel your inner Kate Middleton? Invest in a Longchamp tote. This one is made from recycled nylon canvas and has sturdy, chic leather handles. It can also be folded flat for easy storage or travel. If you prefer a darker color, there are plenty of other hues to choose from.

It’s no secret that Abercrombie is back and better than ever, which is why we’ve been scouring the brand’s website for new finds on a daily basis. If you want a statement bag that feels straight out of White Lotus, opt for this oversized woven tote. Reviewers warn that it is huge, but they also say it’s perfect for holding beach towels and other necessities.

Sometimes we deserve to treat ourselves, and this gorgeous, Italian leather tote is the perfect thing to splurge on. The bags are made in a woman-owned factory in Turkey and the leather is treated in an environmentally responsible way, so you can feel good about the brand you’re wearing. While the bag itself has an inner zip pocket and card holder, you can also purchase an organization insert with pockets galore.
