Oh the fun and colourful world of handbags! A real paradise to the eye. But while it is pretty easy to just buy cheap bags with the sole excuse that “you can never have too many bags”, think about it, is pilling your closet with cheap handbags just so you have more in quantity really worth it? Invest in quality womens tote bags that you will not get bored from and will serve you for many years to come.
Whether it is for carrying your laptop to the office, or your essentials to the beach, a tote bag is your go-to for every day. But that does not mean you should enter the first store that that comes your way that sells womens tote bags and pick the first one you see. Definitely no. There are some features that you should look for in a tote that make the whole difference between a bag that you cannot wait to take with you, and a bag that will be just another piece in the back of your closet. Here’s what to consider to identify the tote bags that are your style and that will fit your lifestyle.
Will you like it the next season?
Here’s a great tip: keep things on the classic side. Black, brown, navy blue and tan are all good options in cloth. For an extra fancy touch, you can choose a leather or a faux leather bag. This choice is not the most suitable option for a beach bag, but then again, you have already picked the ideal bag for your beach time, haven’t you? The thing is you do not want to be known as the neon pink bag lady with your co-workers by the third day at your new job. But if this is your fourth, or seventh tote for that matter, feel free to go for something that screams ‘ I love this colour!
Is it convenient?
Although all tote bags have straps, not all straps are the same. There will be times when you come across a bag you love so much you want to buy it right away, but then find out that its straps are either too long or too short. This means they are not long enough to throw your bag over your shoulders in case you need your hands free. So, while searching for the ideal womens tote bags either in online or offline stores, make sure you check whether they come with adjustable straps for the ultimate convenience.
What’s on the inside?
Your tote bag can have all the flicker in the universe on the outside, but if its lining is low quality, that bag is bound to end up in the back of your closet because it will tear really quick. Who likes wearing rugged bags? Exactly, noone. Make sure to look at the inside of the bag to see what kind of pockets it has and whether it is waterproof.
Tote bags are highly known for the great space they offer. Although in the past they were considered a casual accessory and a bag mainly used for grocery shopping, today these bags have made it among the most desired and used women handbags for all purposes. It is time to shop with confidence and pick a tote bag that will be your BBF wherever you go.
