EVERYDAY TOTES
Sharing some of my favorite handbags that are perfect for travel, work, school, or just running every day errands. I’ve travelled with all these bags and just love how easy and comfortable they are to wear. Sharing some links to some new and pre-loved options (if available) as well. Let me know in the comments what “Bag Post” you’d love to see next!
THE ROW PARK TOTE
The Row N/S Park medium textured-leather tote on Net-A-Porter. ($1,690)
Why I Love It: This bag is a great on the go and easy carry. I love the quality of the leather and how many different sizes and colors it comes in. I purchased this before my trip to Korea and the Philippines because I knew I wanted something that was easy to carry around on days that we were spending hours out and about. I wanted something that could easily fit a water bottle, sunglasses, my camera, etc. Definitely a newer favorite for me but love how much I’ve been able to use it.
BOTTEGA VENETA SMALL JODIE
Bottega Veneta Jodie Small Bag on Bergdorf Goodman. ($4,100)
Why I Love It: This bag has easily become my favorite Bottega Veneta bag. I love the texture it adds to my outfits and the ‘small’ size actually does fit quite a bit. It’s also an easy bag to travel with because you don’t have to worry about the structure of it when packing it into your suitcase. This is another bag that comes in a variety of sizes, colors, and materials so it’s easy to find the right one that fits your personal style. I’ve had the mini and also own the teen, but the small is definitely my go-to suggestion for an everyday shoulder bag that fits a lot of the necessities including a small laptop if needed.
CELINE CABAS CUIR TOTE
Celine Cabas Drawstring Cuir Triomphe in Smooth Calfskin on Celine. ($2,950)
Why I Love It: Spotted this one at Bergdorf Goodman last year and it’s been my go-to tote when I travel. I love the low-key Triomphe Logo and dropped length straps. It’s a perfect school or work tote and it’s a style I don’t see as often. Because it' isn’t one of the more popular or trendy totes out there, they are mainly just available at the Celine boutiques. I’ve only seen the tan available at the moment and not many pre-loved options either.
GOYARD ANJOU PM
Goyard Anjou PM at Goyard. ($2,960)
Why I Love It: Really loved the structure of my Anjou Mini compared to my St. Louis and got lucky with a delivery day while I was in LA for work. Wandered into Goyard on Rodeo, not expecting much because their inventory has been low these days. They luckily had the navy available in PM and I fell in love with the structure and size. I compared my Goyard totes in a YouTube video that you can watch here. I recommend going the boutique route if you can since some places price totes higher on the resale market. If you don’t have a Goyard in your area, since they don’t partake in e-commerce, I recommend ordering through Bergdorf Goodman since they can ship to you.
OTHER HONORABLE MENTIONS
Sharing some other bags below that aren’t currently in my personal collection, but great options for everyday totes as well!
