Wear Now and Forever Tote Bags

I’m currently looking for an everyday tote bag, and I thought you might be too? The clincher for me recently was when I was with my kids in a car park and couldn’t find my car keys. The ordeal prompted me to have a mini meltdown and scream “I need a bigger bag!” to everyone within earshot, whilst simultaneously picking up all the items on the floor that had fallen out of my inconveniently small bag.

Don’t get me wrong, petite handbags have their place, but the shopping centre probably isn’t one of them. Also from a trend point of view, bigger bags are back in the spotlight and classic totes, hobos and shoulder bags are undoubtedly replacing crossbody varieties. I love the idea of a slouchy suede style, but I’m also a sucker for a classic monogrammed designer piece that you can wear with anything. I recently saw someone online with the Demellier New York tote and I thought it looked so chic and useful, it’s definitely high on my wishlist right now.

Here are some great luxe and affordable bags that won’t give you a mini meltdown.
