Complete Your Wardrobe With Designer Totes

By Lynn Beard


A bag is carried for two main reasons; to compliment the apparel of the carrier and to add convenience to their activities. Designer totes are great at fulfilling these two roles. As a result of this they have taken the world by storm, racking up impressive sales figures. This may also be the reason behind their survival of the many radical changes that have taken place on the fashion front.

Some of these bags are designed to suit formal wear. Others though, are created to be worn in semi formal, casual and event sporty settings. The bags are kept in line with current fashion trends because designers put out new lines each year. A tote purchased years ago, however, does not need to be retired or discarded because it may come into style again after a while.

Buyers can find tote bags made from different materials. The two most popular are leather and fabric. The material used, depends heavily on what currently obtains as stylish in the world of fashion. Sometimes though, other man-made material is used in the making of a tote. The material used to make the bag, is therefore, one of the areas of variation that allows tote lovers to find the bag that appeals to them.

For formal events, designers avoid loud colors that that tend to be more suitable for party scenes. The designs take on a more demure and classy tone in keeping with the general atmosphere that characterizes these events. Formal tote bags are also usually smaller than casual or sporty tote bags.

The semi- formal and casual bags are typically available in brighter colors that reflect the vibrant nature of these settings. They are also normally larger than the ones created for the formal setting. This is because casual, semi-formal and sport settings usually allow the carrying of multiple items, necessitating more space in the bag.

It shouldn't be assumed though, that a tote bag is a woman's accessory. There are some such bags that are created to appeal specifically to men. Men tend to gravitate towards the leather tote bags as they have a more masculine appearance. The design also makes a big difference in the creation of a male tote. One key are of design for the male tote is the strap or the handle, which tends to be longer than female tote bag handles. The longer handle facilitates the male way of carrying the bag which is, slanted across the body.

Buyers can find the designer versions of the bags at many online and physical stores. There are often seasonal sales that offer a wide range of designs at remarkably reasonable prices. Buying these stylish bags while they are on sale allows you to enhance your wardrobe on a budget.

Designer totes have been around on the fashion scene for quite some time. By all indications they will remain relevant and very popular for many centuries to come. The fact that they are flexible, functional and trendy is what puts them in this favorable position.
