The trouble with stylish shopping totes is that some of them are so gorgeous, I see no need to use them only for errands and purchases. This lovely tote in a wash of velvety blue screened with a flock of flying birds is one of the prettiest bags of the season – and so practical, as well.
Made by Loomstate, an ethical brand, this washed denim tote is worn and soft like your favorite jeans. It’s really perfect for overnight trips or weekend adventures nosing around in antique shops and vintage boutiques.
There are two small interior pockets for toting your cell or Blackberry, and a lipstick or two, and the rest of the bag is a big roomy wonder for afternoons at the bookstore and beyond. It’s a great value at only $59, too.
