Practical, durable and stylish, the book tote is a great everyday companion that lets you store all your essentials easily while punctuating your outfit with a burst of print and colour. Dior has had us enamoured with every new release of its embroidered classic since 2018. But for an edgier version, try Balmain’s grunge number with “handwritten” scribbles across its front. Be it monogrammed or embossed, there’s one to suit any tote-loving style.
