Totes

Are tote bags trendy?

If ubiquity is a sign of trendiness, then yes, tote bags are trendy. But unlike some fashion fads, women's tote handbags have become a staple in everyday life. One has only to go to any farmer's market or set foot on a bus or train to see a bag tote hanging from every woman's shoulder or an oversized crossbody purse draped across their chest. This is because they're conveniently sized, so whether it's a laptop and a bottle of water, a spur-of-the-moment purchase you couldn't resist, or a loaf of bread picked up at the corner bakery, a roomy cloth tote bag purse can hold them all. Plus, you'll look stylish and stay comfortable while carrying your belongings.

What’s the difference between a tote and a handbag?

While handbag is an umbrella term that can refer to a clutch, shoulder bag, or any assortment of luxury handbags, a tote has come to mean a soft-sided, flexible bag that can expand for tucking away items of many sizes and shapes. Like everyday purses and handbags, a bag tote can be made of materials ranging from leather to plastic to canvas. And for those who prefer sustainability, tote handbags can be fabricated from recycled plastic bottles and ocean-bound marine plastic. At Rothy's, you'll find a wide selection of women's handbags and totes for special occasions and daily use.

Are totes good for daily use?
