When it comes to handbags, sometimes we can really live by the bigger, the better. One bag in particular that has stood the test of time: the infamous tote bag. With brands like Mulberry and Christian Dior leading the way with oversized totes, the price for bigger bags is certainly high. The answer to our handbag envy? A designer tote bag sale, of course.
If you haven't already got one, prepare for your daily life to be made much easier. Seen on the likes of Gigi Hadid and Dua Lipa, the tote bag is a timeless piece that will take you from work to weekends to travelling around the world. Recently, Anya Taylor Joy was spotted holding the large Dior tote bag - which has been seen on countless other celebs.
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is also a regular tote fan, showing off styles like the Prada Raffia Tote, which just seems to become more popular every summer.
The good news is that many of these designer tote bags are now in the sale, so you can invest in your own timeless carry-all for less.
