Somewhere between weekender bags and fashionable tiny purses lies a classic style that effortlessly delivers on both fronts: the tote. Defined by two over-the-shoulder handles and a deep rectangular structure crafted from durable materials, totes have become much more than utilitarian carryalls. Today, the totes are powerful accessories representing mindful sustainability and style savvy, not to mention oversized handbags are 2023's most trendy bag.
