What can I fit in a tote bag?
Tote bags are available in different sizes making them ideal for different scenarios, including commuting, travelling or even going to the gym. In recent years, tote bags have become popular as a practical alternative to handbags. When travelling, a larger tote bag is big enough to pack your in-flight essentials and enough clothes for a short holiday. With a variety of straps and handles, travel totes have the comfort of a standard tote or handbag, but the practicality of traditional cabin luggage.
For trips to the gym, a tote bag can carry all your work-out essentials. Totes have enough space for your gym clothes and shoes, a towel, deodorant, a water bottle and any health post-gym snacks.Looking for a new bag for work, school or college?
