From sporty tote bags in waterproof fabrics to more organic canvas totes and baskets that do double duty as market bags and picnic baskets, the options for a perfect holiday tote bag are endless.
Prices range from $20 (canvas totes) to luxury versions past the $500 mark, and for a small investment you'll probably end up with a bag that will give you plenty of mileage whether you're on a road trip or a long-haul flight to some far-flung luxury resort.
For those who prefer urban breaks, a tote is the perfect option for weekends in a city. They are easy to carry and equally effortless when teamed with casual weekend attire.
