It’s no secret that us in Singapore love a tote bag. One brand that seems to be on everyone’s arm now is the Gentlewoman tote bag.
Peep the viral Instagram account @Gentlewomanbaginsg, and you’ll see numerous sightings (complete with amusing, snarky captions) of women carrying the now ubiquitous shopper tote in all its various shapes and sizes.
It’s not hard to see why the Gentlewoman tote bag has taken the Singapore fashion scene by storm. Its sleek and minimalist design, combined with super affordable price point that start from US$12 (S$16), make it a perfect blend of style and functionality. Chic, lightweight, roomy and affordable. What more could you ask for?
If you’re after one of these bags, it’s available to buy online on the Gentlewoman website, but be aware shipping is an eyewatering US$22 (S$29). There are plenty of options available on Shopee, but it’s hard to tell which are the authentic bags. Also, as with every trend that reaches its peak, the bag could well be on its way to being overexposed.
If you’re after a stylish, affordable tote bag, check out our list of equally chic alternatives to the Gentlewoman tote bag. From cotton or canvas totes that have the same black and white minimalist vibe to more elevated bags made from nylon or faux leather, all our picks retail for less than $50.
