12 Summer Totes that Work Equally Well from Town to Travel

Who doesn’t love a tote bag, a go anywhere tote, a take-me-away tote, an I’ll-carry-your-shopping tote?  I know I do.  But there are of course totes and totes.  Straw totes that only really work on holiday, single colour streamlined tote bags that scream ‘city chic’, soft fabric tote bags for taking to the pool.  Multifunction totes in a colour that says ‘winter’, others that will cross over from winter to summer, some that are summer only.  A girl can’t have too many totes in my opinion…



Tote bags that are chic, are great for travel, for city shopping and for taking out to lunch can be hard to find particularly in summer.  These are not your one season only kind of tote bags, but totes that you’ll carry all summer and keep carefully from season to season.  Some of these are investments.  All are worth hanging on to.


My favourite totes this year are Michael Kors pale coloured logo tote with leather trim, and Lancaster Paris Ikon print tote which I’ve shown here in both red and natural.  I have it in grey.  But I’m definitely hankering after the red.  There are lots of other colours for both summer and winter.  Check them all out at Forzieri.  Me?  I’m trying to keep away for now……
