The Best Tote Bags for Work and Leisure

Which Is Your All-Time Favourite Tote Bag?

The old one you already own or a lush new one you've just seen?

Perhaps you’ve got a new job, a promotion or, maybe your old Tote Bag just looks rather tired and dilapidated. Whatever the reason, it might now be the right time to consider a new Tote Bag and how it can help to make your work life that little bit easier. At Catwalk Collection Handbags, totes are available in numerous colourways, shapes and sizes so there should be one to suit your exact needs.

THE DEVIL IS IN THE DETAIL

What elevates a Tote Bag from being just ordinary to becoming your all-time favourite? Which features are the most important to you? Do you like a zip top, for example, or a longer drop on the handles. Would a separate shoulder strap or crossbody strap make all the difference? An extra strap gives even greater carrying convenience by virtue of being hands-free.

CAPACITY

The massive popularity and the main reason we love Totes is due to their large size. They stand up to everyday demands, reliably carrying the entirety of your life from point A to point B and beyond. Generally, what Tote Bags offer is a stylish way to transport vast quantities of belongings, whether essentials for travel or the entire contents of your office desk. Items such as laptops are not a problem. When you need to add shopping during a daily commute, the Tote Bag does the job nicely and without complaint. Perfect for fashionistas living the gruelling city life.

TRAVEL

Big Tote Bags are so handy for holding smaller handbags when travelling. You can also throw in cosmetic bags, passport holders, jewellery pouches and camera cases, too.

ORIENTATION & SHAPE

Slimline North-South and East-West Tote Bags, with their sleek sophisticated profile, are excellent for holding paperwork, files and folders whereas bucket style bags are ideal for swallowing up bulkier items.

ORGANISATION OF CONTENTS

Having a good selection of compartments and pockets can assist in the organisation of contents, making it easier to find exactly what you want at a moments notice.

LINING

Do you prefer a light coloured lining or a dark coloured lining? Both have their advantages. A dark colour doesn’t show the dirt quite so easily, whereas a light coloured lining makes it easier to locate contents. To have the best of both worlds, why not choose a Tote Bag with a dark coloured lining but keep contents bright and colourful.

COLOUR

For many working individuals across the corporate world, the daily uniform is fairly constant, we’re talking blacks, navy blues, neutral greys. You have the option to choose a similar colour to blend in and conform or, pick a contrasting colour to stand out in a crowd. It’s perfectly fine to go with understated elegance; sleek blacks and rich brown leathers complement all situations work-related. Alternatively, if you’re a woman who wants to be noticed in the workplace, a pop of red against a navy-blue suit gives an assertive air of confidence. For the truly independent woman, throw fashion trends to the wind, be happy and just pick your favourite colour.

LONGEVITY

Leather is by far the best option as not only is it extremely durable but it looks good, too. The vast majority of leathers are not waterproof, so you’ll need to keep your leather Tote Bag under an umbrella with yourself when it rains. Tote Bags made from Saffiano leather are, however, water resistant which might be a better choice for those commuting in the British climate. Saffiano has the advantage of being more lightweight, too.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE BEST TOTE BAG FOR YOURSELF

Start by laying out all the items that you want to put inside your Tote Bag. This will give you some idea of the size required. If you have an iPad or laptop, use a tape measure to check dimensions. Write down a list of features that are essential. A second list might contain features that would be appreciated but not absolutely necessary.

The omnipresent staple of the handbag world is undoubtably the Tote! Surely every woman owns a Tote Bag. They have become somewhat of a permanent fixture in our collective wardrobes. Tote Bags seem to suit every body type and look good with all fashion trends.
