Women's tote bags

Yes, a structured tote bag can accommodate a laptop, A4 folders, and a pencil case. Choose a style with a zip closure and an interior laptop sleeve. For heavy daily use, leather or thick polyester are more durable than thin canvas.

The shopping bag is a lightweight tote, often made of nylon or vinyl, designed for groceries and easy to carry. The term "cabas" refers more broadly to any large bag with two handles, including structured leather ones. Both are carried by hand or over the shoulder.

Empty the tote bag and brush out the inside. Clean the outside with a damp sponge and a little mild soap, then rinse with clear water. Leave to air dry, open, away from a radiator. Avoid the washing machine, which can damage the finishes and handles.

Straw does not handle water well: it loses its shape and can stain. If your basket gets wet, blot it dry, stuff it with paper so it keeps its shape, and let it air dry. Save it for sunny days and store it in a dry place during the winter.

A mini tote is enough for your daily essentials. A medium tote holds a wallet, a pouch, and a tablet. For a laptop, A4 folders, or groceries, choose a large size and check the interior dimensions on the product page.
