A Great Leather Tote Is the Most Useful Bag a Man Can Own

Look, we love a weekender here at GQ. Lord knows we can get behind backpacks of all sizes and purposes. But in terms of sheer convenience and variety, it’s hard for any bag to top the humble tote. Toss whatever you need—laptop for work, sneakers for the gym, towels for the beach, extra fits for a trip—throw it over your shoulder, and be on your way. Those are all of the steps. Most of the ones we love best don’t even have zippers involved. They’re just roomier than you’d expect, handsomer than they need to be, and don’t feel out of place in any scenario. It’s your briefcase and your gym bag and your carry-on luggage all in one. Cop a well-made, luxe leather version—like, say, any of the seven below—and you’ll have it long enough for your kids to experience its benefits, too.
