Finding the perfect tote bag is sort of like finding the perfect life partner. You want one that’s reliable, down to do just about anything with you, and that’s willing to hold your phone or whatever else for you when you’re just not in the mood. Plus, well, it’s an added bonus if they clean up nice.
Our tote bags are all of this and more, making them the perfect pick for that timeless emotional support carryall.
Read below to see which style is your everyday soulmate.
#1: Meet the East to West Tote
This is quickly becoming one of our most popular styles. It’s perfectly sized to fit all of your essentials and packed with thoughtful pockets that make keeping track of your laptop, wallet, and everything else totally easy. Plus, this bag is made from used plastic water bottles giving it not only a super sleek look, but also a great recycled purpose. It’s an ideal travel tote!
The best way to pack a tote bag for travel is to start with your small items, then fill with your larger ones. Think — smaller things like your phone, wallet, or headphones can go into the various provided pockets, then you can fill with larger items like your laptop, books, an extra sweater, and more. We also love to add in an accessory like our On The Go Essentials Case or the Mesh Pouch Trio for added organization (especially for chords and chargers while traveling).

#2: Nothing basic about this
Now, this next bag is under appreciated (in my humble opinion). It’s part of our BÉISics lineup which is a collection designed for more simplified, streamlined function, but boy does it pack a punch. It’s the perfect blend of that classic tote bag you know and love, with just the right amount of function that it really makes everyday easier. With zipper pockets, multiple strap options, and a wipeable interior (this always comes in handy when you least expect it), you could say this style just really gets you. Plus, it zips at the top as well which gives just an additional level of security that a standard tote bag can’t offer.
#3: A true north-south bag
If you’re not familiar with the “North to South” silhouette, let us introduce you to your new favorite style. This is almost like a taller, longer version of the East to West tote we just talked about, with a more vertical profile making it both a wonderful bag for the office and an ideal travel tote bag. It features a laptop sleeve, key leash, and a trolley passthrough — plus, it’s also made of recycled plastic bottles!
Now, to everyone wondering “Can I use a tote bag as a personal item?”, we say absolutely! Tote bags can make the ideal personal item because they’re compact, easy to pack efficiently, and work great as an everyday bag once you reach your destination.
As you can see… we’re pretty big fans of tote bags. For travel, days at the farmers market, to the office, you name it, our bestselling tote bags have your back.
