It's, like, Totes Tuesday
I love a tote, particularly a fabric tote. They're light and they can carry shitloads.
They are THE BEST in summer when it can often feel a bit wrong to be carrying around a 'proper' handbag. Yes but it's nearly winter I hear you cry, we need leather! We do but we also need a bag that can be kept inside other bags for emergencies. A bag that can be whipped out for those unexpected shopping moments and, let's face it, there are many; a bag for when the smallish person you are with suddenly decides that they no longer require their coat/hat/jumper/scarf because they are TOO HOT even though it's 10 degrees outside; a bag that will house their cuddly toy/binoculars/light saber/whatever other absolutely vital item that they insisted they simply must bring and that they promised to carry the whole time but of course never do.
And as for all the amazing designs, need I say more? No, thought not. I am constantly salivating at the sheer range of choice. There's a tote for every day of the week, every mood and every message that you might want to shout out to the world. You can even design your own, if you're that way inclined.
Today though, I don't need a tote that can hold shitloads. I just need one that will hold my keys, phone, purse and a bottle of water. Enter the mini tote. Mini totes are ADORABLE (and also perfect for kids) and I am utterly in love with this one at the moment:
These ones are lovely too:
