With the height of the micro-purse trend behind us, consumers are looking for solutions to more practical carriers. The answer: The Giant Tote Bag.
On the Fall/Winter 2022 Runways there were a lot of styles and silhouettes that debuted, and a few handbag trends worth noting. One of the biggest, and by biggest, we literally mean BIG trends, is return of the giant XXL tote bag.
Though there are luxurious classics such as the Goyard “Saint Louis” or Louis Vuitton “Neverfull,” but this Fall shoppers are opting for less glamorous fabrics and more sturdy options like canvas or raffia. For under $50, L.L. Bean’s canvas Boat and Tote® zip top version has been the center of fashion’s attention lately, with wearers even adding personalized, “ironic” customizations.
Scout’s patterns range from stylish to whimsical, and are right around $50 to $60, depending on the size/capacity, and Etsy offers up a range of XXL totes in a slew of colors, fabrics, styles and price ranges.
Rae Liu, co-founder of Leatherology, says, “you want your canvas bag, but you also want it to look nice. It’s not just your free supermarket bag.”
While the bags are big as the name implies, they aren’t comically large like we’ve seen in past years. Plus, they’re sleek and designed in neutral shades, making them the ultimate everyday bag. Whether you’re looking for a sizable bag to to use as a stylish carry-on for a flight or fit everything you need for the office, XXL bags will have you covered.
