A tote bag is a desirable and versatile piece that every woman should own. It doesn’t matter whether you are a woman running for careers, a travel blogger catching trains and tubes (and planes) all around the world, or a mama carting around a ton of baby stuff. As long as you need to carry all your essentials but don’t want to be weighed down while sightseeing or running from meeting to meeting, tote bags are the perfect grab-and-go option.
Below are five of our favorite picks of carry-all tote bags for every style and budget that are as chic as they are practical.
This foldable tote bag for travel at Bosidu is a real no-brainer if you are on a budget but still longing for a high-quality and good-looking tote.
