A great tote is the unsung hero of any well-packed trip. The best travel totes strike the perfect balance between function and form—spacious enough to stash your laptop, headphones, and an extra sweater for chilly flights, but stylish enough to carry straight into dinner or a museum without missing a beat. Some travelers lean into classic canvas for beach days and market strolls, while others swear by elevated leather options that double as an everyday work bag.
No matter your travel style, having a go-to tote in your rotation makes packing (and navigating in-transit days) a whole lot easier. Ahead, we’ve curated some of our favorite totes, from under-the-radar finds to timeless splurges you’ll carry for years.
