20 Cute Tote Bags for When Your Purse Isn't Enough
You’ll almost always find Ree Drummond carrying a tote bag when she's traveling. And who could blame her: Cute tote bags are the ultimate life-saver when your purse (or luggage, for that matter) just doesn't have enough space for all your stuff. We're all carrying around so many essentials these days—water bottles, hand sanitizer, makeup—but that doesn't mean we have to look loaded down. A trusty tote will look good no matter how much you stuff inside it!
Because you're most likely to use a tote in addition to another weekender bag (no judgement, though, if it's the only thing you want to carry around!), having a bag made from a lightweight material is a must. A tote that’s too heavy empty won't serve you very well if you’re planning on filling it with things. It's also helpful to get a bag with a few different compartments and zipper pouches for organization. And of course, you need a durable fabric. The last thing anyone needs is a torn handle or holey bag bottom when it's holding all of your precious cargo.
Happily, there's tons of totes that fit the bill, while also looking super cute. Keep clicking to find the one for you!
