If I've learned anything from the last few years (ie: Barbie, Emily in Paris, and dopamine dressing), it's that function becomes fun-ction when you add a fun color palette to a utilitarian piece. This bag's lining, inner pocket, and woven-in motif also elevate its design.
If you're in serious need of a bag that can fit your laptop, a snack, and your go-to read, here are some of the best large tote bags on the market.
