The Bags of the Season: The Tote

Alaia Tote- the poster-child of this season's tote.
Tote trends this season:

  • Retro or animal prints
  • Ladylike detailing, such as ornamental flowers
  • Subtle and utilitarian look
  • Aviation or equestrian influence
  • Quilting
  • Chains, skulls and other gothic detailing
You probably will not (or should not) find all these trend in one tote, but you may be able to double up on some. For example, animal prints + chains, or quilting + ladylike detailing. 

Below are some more notable designer totes to base your tote-buying decisions on:

Lanvin quilted + ladylike tote

Marc Jacobs animal print tote

Marni subtle and utilitarian tote (love the bowling bag look!)

Marni utilitarian + aviator bag (the inside is shearling!)

Proenza Schouler equestrian + utilitarian tote

Stella McCartney animal print + subtle tote

Valentino ladylike tote
