The stronger the brand signifiers–monogramming, logo hardware, or design signatures-the more value the tote will have if it's back on the market. Keep your options open by considering the bag's potential resale value, Glicksberg suggests. You may love the tote you buy today, but you could want to make a swap later. If you're imagining your tote as more of a fancy gym bag, extra pockets for separating pre- and post-workout clothes are a must. If you're searching for a laptop bag, Glicksberg recommends double-checking its dimensions to make sure they'll fit all your office essentials. Selecting your personal best designer tote from the thousands of Chanels, Bottegas, and Pradas out there comes down to your lifestyle. If you're new to luxury accessories, " A durable, leather option would be a great first designer tote," Hsu says. "Always consider something classic that you will use day, night, and while traveling," Tiffany Hsu, fashion director at Mytheresa, agrees. Rachel Glicksberg, manager of women's fashion & new initiatives at The RealReal, says "classic" bags always outperform trendier styles. Most experts I spoke to agreed that the best designer totes combine function and style-and aren't necessarily the bags you've seen all over TikTok. "Worth the investment" can mean different things in different wardrobes.
The more it serves that purpose, the more you will wear it and the more it will be worth your investment." "What it's made of is as important as what it's made for. "Investing in a new tote is all about quality and function," BAZAAR accessories director Miguel Enamorado agrees. In their leather-trimmed, microfiber suede-lined way, the best designer totes are an aesthetically pleasing balancing act. Once I could meet designers and test their creations myself, I realized luxury bags are so special because they're made to be carried often, not hidden away. My mindset shifted when I started working in fashion. Even if they looked and felt like elevated versions of my regular-schmegular market bags and weekenders-with exteriors that coordinated with whatever I wore and spacious interiors for lugging my laptop or a change of clothes, or both-the dust bag and shiny labels intimidated me out of carrying my most prized totes. Before I became a fashion editor, I assumed the best designer tote bags should be reserved for special occasions.
