HOLD EVERYTHING
Cold weather means more stuff and all of this stuff has to go somewhere when we get out of the cold weather. How do we stash the scarves, gloves, earmuffs, hats, and various other woolly whatnots (not to mention wallets, phones, keys, etc.) when we finally get indoors without undermining the effort we put into getting dressed? Enter the structured tote.
Luxury labels like Céline and Proenza Schouler made a fashion world splash with their clever takes on this carryall and brands who deal in slightly more affordable price points have taken notice. It may just be time to relieve that gym bag of its additional duties – especially since all of the options below come in under $500.
