TOTES
Gentle Woman Canvas Tote
The Gentle Woman canvas tote—arguably the tote of the summer—adorns the arms of everyone from that girl in your foreign language class to influencers like Bella Racelis.

The Good Tote
The Good Tote is a small local brand selling medium-to-small sized tote bags designed with eye-catching, colorful art and inspirational sayings. Their tote bags are unlike other canvas totes out there: they have pockets and zippers, for those who prefer to be able to sort their items inside and keep them there safe and sound.
Longchamp Le Pliage
Longchamp is a classic among generations, so it needs no talking up. But it has seen increased popularity among Gen Z as well due to its versatility, space, durability, and simplicity. While a little pricey, the bags are a great investment for school, the office, as well as traveling!
Anakainoo Club
Local streetwear and lifestyle brand Anakainoo Club—whose name means “to renew your mind”—offers large totes in classic colors as well as their signature green and navy blue.

They also come with short handles as well as a long adjustable strap, outer flap pocket, and a snap tab to attach keys or sanitizers to.
COS Quilted Micro Bag
The often sold-out quilted bag, nicknamed the “Cloud Bag” also comes in a smaller size! The pillowy Quilted Micro from COS is made with recycled material and has a zipper to keep your essentials inside.
