One thing’s for sure – big bags are back, and a roomy tote bag has never failed to fit everything from mainstay items to your “I’ll bring this just in case…” afterthoughts. This time around, medium-sized tote bags are having a moment, with all the spaciousness of those jumbo tote bags but just downsized slightly so it’s comfortable to carry.

Whether grocery shopping or a day packed with events, throw your essentials in a tote, and this trusty carrier will never let you down. Loved for their practicality, these shopper bags have never really gone out of style, as proven by our favourite fashion houses churning out new reiterations of this staple bag each season.

Check out our chic picks that stay around the 30cm territory when it comes to length.
