Oversized Tote Bags Are Still Trending – Here Are Our Faves

These large bags manage to look chic and elegant despite their size

by Michelle Yeoh and Shazrina Shamsudin  /   June 23, 2022

Oversized totes can sometimes have a bad rep. From making a difficult journey on an already-packed commute frustrating to having to occupy its own seat at the dining table, these bags can be a lot of work to carry around.

Not to mention how, when it comes time to find an item of importance, they can mysteriously convert into a black hole where all wallets and keys go to vanish. What’s left to thrive are age-old faded receipts and “in case of emergency” paper napkins you once thought were sensible to keep. It’s no wonder micro bags gained overwhelming favour amongst the fashion crowd; they’re compact, chic and limit you to mere essentials.

However, some may argue that oversized tote bags are still essential for their daily activities. They come in handy when you need to lug around things for work or even for that much-needed weekend staycation you’ve got planned with your beau.

Below, we’ve compiled a list of our favourite oversized bags to own right now.

Leather Tote Bag, $1,175, Jil Sander from Farfetch

The ultimate XXL bag for minimalists, this structured square-shaped tote may look like a chore to haul considering its extra-large size, but it’s surprisingly lightweight due to the fact that it was intentionally unlined.
