known (and loved) by lots of as a throw-it-all-in, grab-and-go, daily hauler for mommies (or dads), worker bees, jet-setters, and everyone in between, the tote is one of the handbag world’s a lot of functional silhouettes. The tote’s appeal is vast, and it’s not hard to understand why it’s so popular—designer or otherwise.
On the topic of luxury totes, though, it’s this shape that’s often on the a lot more affordable end of a designer’s offerings due to the simplicity of its design and the overall construction. Whereas a flap from, say, Saint Laurent will cost you well over $2,000, a leather buyer tote can be snagged for just above the $1K mark, making a tote not only a functional carry but also a a lot more easily accessible one.
While the tote has its place in every collector’s closet, making a bold style statement while still possessing that effortlessly cool, casual vibe that its wearer so desperately strives for, what about the tiny tote? Does it should have love too, or does shrinking down a tote’s size negate its adoration?
