The trending oversized tote bags to be carrying this year

Go big or go home

by Michelle Yeoh & Shazrina Shamsudin  /   June 7, 2022

Oversized totes never had the best of reputations. They compete for space during an already-packed commute, require their own seat at the dinner table, and – we say this literally, are an extra weight on the shoulders. 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.

The Row might brand this as a clutch, but this bag is definitely anything but. The Row sticks to simple, understated designs that really allow the level of craftsmanship to shine through. Made in Italy from shell, this slouchy ‘Bourse XL’ clutch has a contrasting ivory drawstring pouch to keep your essentials secured. The beige and ivory colorway will go with just about anything.

Officially branded the tote bag of the season, you’ll find that this bag will be no stranger to any fashion influencer you follow. This tote bag with a soft, deconstructed design is made of raffia, a material of natural origin imbued with a summery mood. We can see this carrying everything from your summer holiday essentials, to office documents.

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

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. We’re pairing ours with oversized tailored trousers and a lightweight knit tank top.
