Unless you have saved up enough money to live that lavishly, this type of hobby would seem inaccessible for the average fashion enthusiast.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As exciting as it seems, it&#8217;s pretty easy to get lost or overwhelmed in a sea of <a aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.chanel.com\/en_CA\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"rank-math-link\">Chanel<\/a>, <a aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.balenciaga.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"rank-math-link\">Balenciaga<\/a>, and <a aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gucci.com\/ca\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"rank-math-link\">Gucci<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So what exactly should you look for in a <strong>designer tote bag<\/strong>? Hold onto your wallet &#8211; we&#8217;re about to provide you with a selection of couture beauties that are worth checking out.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Choose_The_Best_Designer_Tote_Bag\"><\/span><strong>How to Choose The Best Designer Tote Bag<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Lizzo did us a solid by introducing us to the <strong>tiny designer purse<\/strong> at the 2020 AMAs, but it&#8217;s far from <strong>functional<\/strong> compared to the standard tote bag. While it may be &#8220;big enough for your f&#8212;s to give&#8221; (her words, not ours), a <strong>miniature purse<\/strong> cannot accommodate your phone, wallet, and other necessities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following space, customers should look for three things when choosing a designer tote bag: <strong>brand<\/strong>, <strong>material<\/strong>, and of course, <strong>price<\/strong>. We&#8217;ll cover all of them in the following review.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Brand<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>From <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dior.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"rank-math-link\">Christian Dior<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.balenciaga.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"rank-math-link\">Balenciaga<\/a>, there are countless fashion designers that are known for their stylish totes. When it comes to deciding on a brand, it largely depends on your taste in purses.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you like the elegant, quilted look? Or do you prefer print over color-blocked? Perhaps it&#8217;s a sign to opt for a classic Chanel bag or the Louis Vuitton carry-on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Material<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When deciding on the <strong>best designer tote bag<\/strong>, the material should never be glossed over, as it&#8217;s a signifier of <strong>quality<\/strong>. Nobody likes a tote that flakes away after months of use.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether it&#8217;s leather, jacquard, or canvas, you should make sure that the bag is made out of <strong>genuine fabric<\/strong>. Knock-offs are usually constructed out of thin, plastic-feeling material and won&#8217;t feel as expensive as the original version.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shoppers should also look for elements such as <strong>patina<\/strong>, <strong>color<\/strong>, <strong>stitching<\/strong>, and <strong>hardware<\/strong>. Counterfeit producers are notorious for spelling certain brand names wrong. Additionally, color can serve as a huge indicator, as some fakes are brighter or darker than authentic versions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, the best designer tote bag will last you a lifetime and is worth a pretty penny when resold. If you&#8217;re looking to buy a used purse, we highly recommend hiring a professional to assess whether or not it&#8217;s a genuine product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Price<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, <strong>budget<\/strong> is another crucial point to consider. Depending on how much you can splurge, what&#8217;s the <strong>best designer tote bag<\/strong> your money can buy? Is it the standard <a href=\"https:\/\/ca.coach.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"rank-math-link\">Coach<\/a> purse or the ultra-rare Hermes Birkin?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those looking for a cost-effective way to collect<strong> limited edition<\/strong> carry-ons, we suggest opting for brands like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.katespade.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"rank-math-link\">Kate Spade<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.toryburch.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"rank-math-link\">Tory Burch<\/a>, or even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marcjacobs.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"rank-math-link\">Marc Jacobs<\/a>. Bags from these companies usually cost between <strong>$200<\/strong> to <strong>$500<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pricier brands, like Hermes, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mouawad.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"rank-math-link\">Mouawad<\/a>, and Chanel, can cost you a staggering <strong>$300,000<\/strong> to <strong>$2 million<\/strong>. For the purposes of this review, we&#8217;ll only be covering a selection of more affordable purses that fall below the <strong>$100,000 <\/strong>mark.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"15_Best_Designer_Tote_Bags\"><\/span><strong>15 Best Designer Tote Bags<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Stop worrying about your shoes. It&#8217;s time to give the ol&#8217; purse some thoughtful consideration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter the label, the <strong>best designer tote bag<\/strong> can act as the cherry-on-top of a put-together ensemble.

This type of purse provides <strong>more storage space<\/strong> due to its larger size. Moreover, you&#8217;ll notice that it comes with <strong>two straps<\/strong> instead of one.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the flip side, handheld purses can only accommodate a few valuables. Handbags are usually worn to adorn an outfit with additional accessories. Take for example, Lizzo&#8217;s tiny carry-on from Jacquemus.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_size_of_tote_bag_do_I_need\"><\/span><strong>What size of tote bag do I need?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The short answer: the larger, the better. It really depends on the number of valuables you carry on a daily basis. Some brands that we covered, like Fendi or Coach, can accommodate a couple of devices, files, or other bulky goods due to their generous size.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, tiny options from Stella McCartney and Dior only hold one or two small items, such as a wallet or a phone. So, when it comes down to size, we suggest taking inventory of things you usually have with you on the go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_should_you_style_designer_tote_bags\"><\/span><strong>How should you style designer tote bags?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Trendsetters usually match their carry-on to their outfit or vice versa, creating a cohesive look with ease. For instance, the <strong>Small Dior Book Designer Tote Bag <\/strong>would look amazing with a tweed blazer and pencil skirt duo, in addition to matching red heels and a white blouse.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, your outfit doesn&#8217;t have to be all leather if your bag is made out of 100% calfskin. Mix in different textures such as jacquard or faux fur, and for more help with composing an ensemble around a designer tote bag, hop over to Instagram or Pinterest for styling ideas.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_designer_tote_bag_is_the_best\"><\/span><strong>Which designer tote bag is the best?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So, who won the title of <strong>Best Designer Tote Bag<\/strong>? We looked for a brand that passed four critical evaluations: <strong>seasonality<\/strong>, <strong>versatility<\/strong>, <strong>style<\/strong>, and <strong>price<\/strong>. Out of the 15 purses we featured, the <strong>Coach Tyler Carryall Designer Tote Bag<\/strong> came out on top.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This purse can be worn throughout all seasons, making it <strong>adaptable<\/strong> and <strong>cost-effective<\/strong>. This is partially due to its <strong>subtle<\/strong>, <strong>clean design<\/strong> and <strong>versatile black leather<\/strong>. It can hold a number of valuables and has impressive reviews as a result of its spacious structure.<br>For a purse that only costs <strong>$350<\/strong>, the <strong>Coach Tyler Carryall Designer Tote Bag<\/strong> is a steal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Table of Contents How to Choose The Best Designer Tote Bag15 Best Designer Tote BagsTote Bag vs Handbag: What&#8217;s the difference?What size of tote bag do I need?How should you style designer tote bags?Which designer tote bag is the best?
