The 28 Best Leather Tote Bags That Carry It All
For your workweek essentials—and some extras
Whether you're climbing some sort of corporate ladder, or you're a creative who works outside the confines of a nine-to-five routine, the best leather tote bags are the ones you want to carry at least five days per week. “Leather totes are functional, mainly because they can help you to lug a day's worth of essentials effortlessly,” says Lola Banjo, founder of luxury bag brand Silver & Riley.
It's a given that the best leather totes can hold a 15-inch laptop and a pair of commuter shoes. But according to Banjo, the very best leather totes can also tie a look together while doing the hard work of carrying daily essentials (and then some). “A stylish leather tote will uplift any outfit beautifully, as they are incredibly versatile and can be used in unexpected ways,” says Banjo. “Whether you’re dressing up for the office or you’re keeping things casual for a grocery run, a leather tote never fails,” she adds.
For an office outfit, try a slouchy suit set to perfectly juxtapose a structured bag like Khaite's leather bucket tote. You can also opt for a bag like Dragon Diffusion's woven leather tote, which can inject some OOO ease into your best fall outfits. For a day of errands, totes from Janessa Leone and Coach will blend nicely with a relaxed look. Through any workplace or situation, tried-and-true rectangular leather bags everywhere can tote your essentials with ease.
