9 Large Tote Bags To Make Running Errands More Stylish This Fall 2026
I've never been a micro bag kind of gal. Every day, at all times, I need absolutely all of my essentials. What if I get thirsty? Or bored? That means on any given day, you'll find menstrual products, my water bottle, pens, headphones, and a book (Rory Gilmore's greatest life lesson) in my bag. But that also means I need more than your average purse — I need an oversized tote.
If I've learned anything from the last few years (ie: Barbie , Emily in Paris , and dopamine dressing), it's that function becomes fun -ction when you add a fun color palette to a utilitarian piece. This bag's lining, inner pocket, and woven-in motif also elevate its design.
If you're in serious need of a bag that can fit your laptop, a snack, and your go-to read, here are some of the best large tote bags on the market.
