As we get further into the fall season, you may just be finding yourself in need of a bigger bag.
After all, when the temperature drops, the need for additional outfit accoutrements rises. Think: scarves, hats, toques and umbrellas. To say nothing of the extra tissues, lip balm, hand sanitizer, and more, to keep the flu season germs at bay. The list can go on and on.
The elevated assemblage of items for the season has us thinking about tote bags that can, well, tote around all the everyday necessities one might need (and more). Here are three that caught our eye this week.
Puffed up
This simply chic tote merges the seasonal staple of a puffer coat with the functionality of a zip-top tote bag. Dubbed the Original Puffer Tote, this Hunter bag features a water-resistant exterior and lining, as well as internal and external pockets for easy storage and safekeeping. It’s pretty much the perfect option for commuting during the wet weeks (okay, months) ahead.

Carried away
Buzzy suitcase brand Away is getting into the handbag game with a few new styles. This tote bag, dubbed The Latitude, is an example of that. Crafted from premium leather, the tote features a cavernous interior for maximum capacity storage, an open top for easy in-and-out of items, and a removable exterior strap — which was designed to secure this travel-minded tote onto the top of a rolling suitcase, but can also be used for off-travel hours. Available in four colours, we’re partial to this Buff option.

Sporty chic
Elevate your errands bag — or gym go-to — with this Face Forward Duffel. Part of the Lululemon x Roksanda collaboration, which sees the Vancouver-based brand partner with the London-base fashion designer Roksanda Ilinčić, this limited-edition style features a relatively simple silhouette, with a bunch of edgy exterior extras including rope detailing and nylon cord. The full collection of pieces is sure to have you rethinking the boundaries of athletic wear. While this bold pink-and-yellow option will pretty much ensure that no one will “accidentally” grab your bag of gym garb again.
