While we’ll probably pick up a cheap canvas or nylon tote for beach trips and picnics, they can attract dirt pretty quickly and don’t look quite put-together enough for the office. These more-structured choices won’t show grime as quickly, and are more seasonally appropriate than basic black.
This cornhusk tote ($68) is just plain fun – and the muted trim is a good counterpoint to that crazy bright green.
Crinkled, shiny patent leather is easy to wipe off, and this bag ’s ($198) dark pink color is an easy way to add color to an outfit.
A perfect spring work tote ($345), big enough to carry a laptop or a pair of flats.
The dusty blue and textured leather mean this tote ($250) can stand up to a little wear without looking dingy.
The print on this coated canvas bag ($89) can camouflage a little wear and tear.
