Unlike most totes, this bag has a top zip, which is another major plus in my book, especially when you live in a big city like New York and are carrying your belongings on the street and into the subway versus toting them around in a car.Long before trend-bucking creative director Alessandro Michele brought his hallucinatory “Utopian Fantasy” campaign to Gucci, it was a modest Italian leather shop. One problem with totes is that they often turn into a black hole and it’s so easy to lose your things in them. It has multiple interior pockets, including two zippered pockets and one slit pocket, which is ideal for a bag that’s this big. Meet the The Gucci RE(BELLE) Tote, first seen here, on style star bag is big, there’s no doubt about that-it easily fits an iPad or MacBook Air, but also fit my 13in MacBook. When I spotted a Gucci tote that was both beautiful and functional (and maybe could replace my canvas), I was intrigued. It goes along with what I do! I’m constantly on the move, and if I’m out and about for work, I’m often running between meetings, collection previews, photo shoots and a million other thingss! I have plenty of larger bags, like a Louis Vuitton Neverfull and a Chloé Dilan Tote from a few season ago, but I just don’t love them like I love all of my newer bags, and so I throw my bare necessities into a smaller crossbody bag and if I need it, my larger must-haves in a canvas tote. I often have no choice but to tote around some bigger items with me, like my computer, me DSLR camera, or both.

I know I’m not the only one who gets more than their fair share of use out of those free canvas tote bags. While I’ve definitely streamlined what it is that I carry day to day and often can get away with a smaller bag, there are some times when a canvas tote is just the necessary-evil accessory to carrying a mini bag.
