The Joy Of The Tote

If there’s one bag that will never go out of fashion, it’s the hard-working, fit-your-life-in-it tote bag. Every person needs one in their style repertoire and especially now that hybrid working is in fully swing.

Let’s be honest, totes used to be seen as a bit naff and therefore not given much consideration in the style stakes. Not anymore. They’ve really upped their game and there are choices aplenty, depending what your carry-all needs are. Perhaps you’re looking for something sleek, leather and office appropriate? Or you’re on the look out for a shopper that’s practical enough for Saturday morning errands but looks cool when you show up for brunch? Practical yes, but with all the personality you’d expect from a Lulu.

Whatever your specifics, forget trying to cram everything you need into a slimline shoulder bag and embrace the wonders of XXL sizing instead. Here’s a rundown on some of our favourites.

For when you’re zipping off for the night, you’ll love Macy. With clean lines and a roomy size, the squishy Macy Tote, available in Lulu Red, Black and Emerald, is your essential carry-all. It’s all in the detailing with the handy outer zip pocket with ribbon detailing and the sporty logo straps ready for you to carry over the shoulder or even loop over your suitcase handles.

Pretty and practical, our Black leather and canvas Sienna Tote features colourful floral embroidery to make a stylish statement. This roomy style has a leather zip fastening to keep your belongings safe. Sienna - pretty. Embroidered. Fits a laptop - has a dedicated pocket for one.

For when you want playful polish, the Daisy Tote makes a stylishly minimalist statement. Crafted from textured leather in classic Black, Daisy is our roomy Tote with curved detailing to pay homage to the signature Lulu lip. This chic style has gold lip pin detail, tabs to cinch in the silhouette and and space to fit your laptop so it’s the perfect work bag.

We love Elsa for those times when you want to look chic but also have a lot to carry. Crafted from Black leather Elsa has a minimalist silhouette, but it’s all in the detailing with her lip-shaped handle anchors. To keep you extra organised, inside there's a zip pocket. Carry from the office straight to your dinner date.
