The best kinds of bags: the ones you can throw everything into. It’s what explains our love affair with roomy tote bags – doesn’t even matter that knick knacks like lipsticks, keys, and your phone never fail to get lost in the depths of these oversized bags, because these things almost never run out of space, which means lazy girls can rejoice. You’ll almost never have to repack your stuff!!!
Which is why a black oversized tote is such a key part of our bag wardrobes. It’s the easiest thing to grab on those lazy days, and when it’s black – you know it’ll go with anything.
We instantly fell in love with this piece from the COS men’s Autumn/Winter collection, a classic leather piece with clean lines, with the exposed straps adding some unexpected interest.
COS Structured Black Leather City Tote Bag, price and availability TBC.
Here, we seek out some other options, because this love affair is an eternal one.
Topshop Side Zip Shopping Bag
A zip detail runs alongside an entire side of the bag. It isn’t actually functional, but it adds interest to the whole aesthetic anyway.
$59.90, available at Topshop stores and sg.topshop.com
Saint Laurent Large Shopping Tote Bag in Black Patent Leather
If you want to invest in a luxury black tote, this one’s a credible option for the Fall/Winter season. A removable zip pouch and magnetic snap closure help keep your items in place as well.
Price and launch date TBC.
Marc Jacobs Large Logo Tote
This tote from the Marc Jacobs Pre-Fall drop goes big with the logo and text, which might not be entirely in line with our usual minimalist vibe – but hey, Marc Jacobs is after all the master of this industrialist look.
$430, available at Marc Jacobs stores.
Balenciaga Textured Leather Tote
Another luxury option, we’re drawn to the strap details on this unstructured calf leather piece. It’s open-top, but has a small leather pouch inside to keep the small items safe.
US$1,145, available at net-a-porter.com.
Charles & Keith Structured Tote in Black
This bag’s winning point is the extra shoulder strap, so you can carry it two ways.
$68.70, available at Charles & Keith stores and charleskeith.com.
Zara Reversible Tote Bag
What’s better than a roomy black tote bag? A roomy black tote bag that can be flipped around to become a roomy red tote bag.
$49.90, available at Zara stores and zara.com/sg.
