The 10 Best Tote Bags You Can Buy In Australia

As much as we enjoy a good clutch—and even enjoy the odd flirtation with the mini-bag trend—there really is nothing like a faithful shopping tote to carry us through the day (pardon the pun).

Perfect for our busy, cram-everything-in lives, shopping totes are essentially the handbag equivalent of a good wine: they might not be the most experimental option in your wardrobe, but they are reliable, day in and day out.

Of course, that's not at all to say they aren't chic in their own right. With iterations crafted from luxurious leathers, upcycled materials and classic canvas, there is a variation to suit every trousseau.

And if you've been looking to add a new faithful to your collection this season, you're in luck, for we have done the hard work for you.

Scroll on for 10 of the chicest tote bags you can buy in Australia right now.
