Sign me up! Sometimes, the London tube commute warrants more of a relaxed bag&#8230;. A packed central line with barely any standing room and a large Saint Laurent Sac du Jour vying for space: it\u2019s the bag vs the burly man glaring at you. No, thanks. How about a busy Jubilee line at peak rush hour with a Givenchy Antigona waiting to be scratched? No, thank you, sir. Needless to say, the circle line on the way to Sunday brunch with a pristine Chanel is also an unlikely occurrence. The solution? Enter: the Totes!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>TOTE-ALLY AWESOME&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019ve set the scene. BUT, (there\u2019s always a but), how do we solve the problem:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>A <strong>large<\/strong> bag &#8211; ideal for work on the gym<\/li><li>Less <strong>scratch-able<\/strong> &#8211; tight journeys on the tube are too risky with a smooth calfskin leather, so a sturdy, durable cloth is ideal&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Under \u00a31k<\/strong> -ish &#8211; just in case a mishap does occur on the tube&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Fashionable<\/strong> and designer &#8211; girl\u2019s still gotta look stylish&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Seems like the Impossible Quartet (yes, I\u2019ve augmented the Impossible Trinity). Well, I\u2019ve got a handful of totes up my sleeve which may just check the boxes. No more battling for tube space and glaring at those who take a hit at your bag.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Tory Burch &#8211; Ella Tote<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This has got to be <strong>the pick of the bunch<\/strong>. Brought to my attention by my friend Iffa, the Tory Burch tote can fit your laptop, notebook and water, and looks sleek for work. The price is unbeatable &#8211; at less than \u00a3300, I\u2019m not sure you will find anything quite like it!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"shopthepost-widget\" data-widget-id=\"4871250\">\r\n                <script type=\"text\/javascript\" language=\"javascript\">\r\n                    !function(d,s,id){\r\n                        var e, p = \/^http:\/.test(d.location) ?

Although it doesn\u2019t look it, it\u2019s made from recycled nylon, meaning it is durable and hits a few sustainability boxes. Despite this, it is still <strong>strong<\/strong> and <strong>sturdy<\/strong>, as opposed o flimsy (which is usually what people think when \u201crecycled\u201d and \u201cnylon\u201d are used). At \u00a3215 for the small and \u00a3265 for the medium, it\u2019s waiting to be swept off the shelves. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"shopthepost-widget\" data-widget-id=\"4871251\">\r\n                <script type=\"text\/javascript\" language=\"javascript\">\r\n                    !function(d,s,id){\r\n                        var e, p = \/^http:\/.test(d.location) ?

It\u2019s a great piece if you like to use duffel bags for the gym and are looking for a little spin on the classic gym look. The iconic \u201cThe Tote Bag\u201d lettering will add a stylish spin to any spinning outfit.\u00a0<br>What I like about this bag is that there is a <strong>zip<\/strong> at the top &#8211; so you can be sure your gym clothes, trainers and wallet are safe from London\u2019s ever growing pick-pocketers.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"shopthepost-widget\" data-widget-id=\"4871252\">\r\n                <script type=\"text\/javascript\" language=\"javascript\">\r\n                    !function(d,s,id){\r\n                        var e, p = \/^http:\/.test(d.location) ?

From black to deep brown to bright red, choose to stand out from the crowd or blend into the corporate scene.

This artisan bag is crafted with <strong>lower-impact linen<\/strong>, augmented with bright brown calfskin straps and lower-impact linen ribbons with the iconic \u201cChloe\u201d embroidery.
