The search for the ultimate tote feels like a tall order. It should be attractive but practical, roomy but not exceedingly large, affordable but not so cheap that it’s going to fall apart in a few months. There is no dearth of options out there, of course. We scoured Amazon’s top-selling totes to find the most stylish and affordable bags that you need to add to your cart immediately.
Whether you’re looking for an oversized on-the-go carry-all, a hyper-organized option or a sleek designer look-a-like, we’ve got you covered. Not only are these bags top-rated, but they won’t break the bank — prices start at just $18. Be prepared, though: Lots of compliments are gonna come your way.
“Great bag for the price point,” this fan said. “It’s roomy, versatile, and holds up pretty damn good to a lot of use. I bought four of these bags about two years ago in different colors and I’ve used them all in rotation consistently during those two years. I’ve stuffed them full to overflowing with all the crap you usually put in a bag and then some. … And they’ve all held up to everything incredibly well.”
“Looks and feels like real leather,” confirmed an impressed customer. “Very soft and slouches perfectly. It’s also the perfect size for me. I need enough room for all my stuff, but I don’t want an enormous handbag. It has one small pocket inside and an inside cord to connect your keys, so you can find them easily. I get compliments all the time and people can’t believe it isn’t real leather. And they really can’t believe it came from Amazon!”
“Not only does it look super high-end, but it’s affordable and so practical for work or casual wear,” said a fan. “I got this bag specifically for work to put all of my stuff in, but I think I’ll be using it for more because it’s super stylish. Lots of pockets inside, and very flattering as the shoulder strap is longer than a regular tote. Super comfortable too. Will be buying another color soon.”
Sometimes you just need to carry more — but that doesn’t mean you don’t have to pay more. (Amazon)
