Tote bags are a lifesaver. They are ideal for those who want to pack the essentials and go, or they can be made more structured and offer plenty of space for storage and organization.

Some tote bags can even be a real luxury: you can treat yourself to a luxury bag and still enjoy the comfort of a travel bag.

Certain tote bags also make travel easier: Some have additional straps that can be attached to your luggage, like the July Everyday Tote pictured below, while others, like Banana Republic’s Paper Straw Shopper, are a chic and hassle-free way to take the relaxed look of a vacation outfit with you wherever you go.
