Toting Around Town

Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009

Chicago women love their Longchamp totes. The bags’ durability, classic shapes, and various colors make them a worthy carry-all for work and travel. Sometimes, though, we need a little bag variety on our streets, so we explored some other nylon totes that are hip, versatile and just plain cool.

(Clockwise from upper left) 1. Metallic accessories can get really loud, but this gold bag by LeSportsac ($78; bloomingdales.com) has a soft hue that gives it the right amount of sass to jazz up your daily threads. 2. If you go for a more muted look, this “plumeria” Cole Haan ($198; nordstrom.com) tote does double duty with its reversible design. For day, use the bag’s nylon shell; then for night, switch to the leather side! 3. When your day’s work requires toting around a laptop, cell, day planner, portfolio, etc., you need a bag that really hauls. This black BCBG Max Azria bag ($248; bcbg.com) has the means, plus its multiple handles allow you to carry it in a way that’s comfortable. 4. A classic print and shape is a winning combination of longevity and style, and this black and white Burberry bag ($650; nordstrom.com) with patent trim has it all. This is an investment bag that will remain in your closet for years as your go-to casual carry-all. 5. If you have a serious case of work-bag boredom, this Marc by Marc Jacobs leopard print tote ($168; bloomindales.com) is your remedy. It’s puurfect with a camel, black or brown coat—or get a little wilder and pair it with a bright pink or purple coat.
