15 Affordable All-Day Totes Inspired by Paris Fashion Week’s Best Street Style
The days are long during Fashion Week. Runway shows can start as early as 9:00 a.m. and end as late as 11:00 p.m. (even later, if you count the after-parties). In Paris this season, it was clear that editors, stylists, and fashion CEOs were ready to face the seemingly never-ending schedule of events based on their smart selection of carryalls. There were plenty of perfectly sized tote bags in white leather, fuzzy orange fur, and plastic that, while functional, also provided a nice accessory for an evening spent schmoozing and dining postshows.
Alas, many of the bags spotted on the streets of Paris were unsurprisingly of the luxury designer variety, but that doesn’t imply the look isn’t attainable to those who’ve never been invited to a Chanel show. Being a busy woman doesn’t mean you have to look like a bag lady with an oversize and overstuffed purse. There are plenty of stylish shoulder bags that can be worn with a daytime ensemble and one that’s more dressed up, and you don’t have to spend a fortune on them either. For those who carry their life in their bags 9-to-5 and beyond, here are 15 affordable all-day options to take you—and all of your stuff—wherever you need to go.
