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 purses 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 tote bag hanging from every woman's shoulder, or an oversized crossbody bag 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 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 purses, a tote has come to mean a soft-sided, flexible bag that can expand for tucking away items of many sizes and shapes. Tote bags are stylish, yet functional, with a more simplistic silhouette that allows for carrying more than just the essentials.

Like everyday purses and handbags, a tote bag can be made of materials ranging from leather to plastic to canvas. And for those who prefer sustainable materials, 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.

Moms can make use of Rothy’s tote bags for diapers and other necessities. Also, tote bags make the ideal bag for the office and school, with enough space to carry laptops, tablets, planners, notebooks, snacks, water bottles and more.

Are totes good for daily use?

Yes, totes are excellent for daily use, whether you're a stay-at-home parent, student, or working individual. With a tote, you can carry a variety of objects through all sorts of weather and crowds.
