Gone are the days when tote bags were purely utilitarian, exclusively canvas and emblazoned with a cheesy slogan or kitschy brand logo. The practical and modest bag might just be the most versatile bag that fashion has to offer, now available in an array of stylish and sophisticated materials and silhouettes.

For one, no actual rule says that tote bags need to be cut from cloth or canvas-made, allowing for the wildest versions of the industrious bag to take form. If you’re looking for the telltale sign to finally put to rest the free tote bag you received as a purchase gift, look no further. These options are playfully artful, classically woven, and as always, fashionably functional.
