Whether you’re heading to a local beach or jet-setting somewhere exciting, investing in a new designer tote bag is always a good idea. You can, of course, lug around that tried-and-true farmer’s market canvas bag that has been by your side (or on your shoulder) for the past 10 years, but we’re giving you permission to upgrade your carryall for a very special occasion: summer.
That’s right: this sunny season is reason enough to reward yourself for enduring less-than-desirable weather for the past many months, as we’ve all been itching to go outside and play. A roomy, statement tote bag will be your number one roll dog on these adventures, as it’s large enough to carry all of your essentials and cool enough to wear with pride. Just be prepared for constant compliments.

From Kylie Jenner’s striped Miu Miu and Shay Mitchell’s woven Prada to the asymmetrical favorite that Katie Holmes can’t get enough of, these are the best designer tote bags to invest in this season — all roomy enough to throw in your favorite toiletry bags, summer beauty essentials and an extra pair of flip-flops. Bonus: since tote bags are made of more accessible fabrics, so are the prices of many of them, which means you’ll be able to get your hands on a designer bag without the designer dollar signs.
1. Karl Lagerfeld Logo-Print Tote Bag
The Karl Lagerfeld-themed Met Gala love carries on in the designer’s sturdy logo-print tote, which features a snap button closure, top handles, an interior zipped compartment and red fabric lining.
Farfetch

2. Marni Translucent Logo Tote
For a beach-ready and transparent (but not totally see-through) option, go for Marni’s translucent logo tote. This style features dual top handles, an open top (pro tip: cover your essentials with a towel) and an all-over print of Marni’s logo.
Saks Fifth Avenue

3. Adidas by Stella McCartney ASMC Logo Tote

Emily Ratajkowski is Loewe’s latest campaign star, which is why the model and actress has been seen all over New York sporting the Spanish luxury brand’s best-selling accessories and apparel.
