Over the last few years, bags have gotten tinnier and tinnier, but at the same time, big bags have been slowly creeping back into style. When it comes to bags, at the core, the point of a purse is to tote your stuff from place to place, and functionality should be king. What’s the point of a stunning, beautifully crafted purse if it’s a pain to carry or barely holds your day to day essentials without bursting at the seams?
While many people, myself included, have streamlined what it is that they carry day to day, either as a way to follow the mini bag movement or because they’ve simply learned they don’t need as much stuff, this list is not for you. However, for the very many designer bag lovers who also need to carry laptops or files, or want a handbag that doubles as a baby bag, the big bag resurgence is undoubtedly positive and this round up is made with you in mind. For the rest of us, if you’re anything like me, they might end up just being an unnecessary temptation you end up mulling over.

I’m either a tote or a small crossbody…very little in between. Love that Balenciaga. Wonder if it’s heavy? Anyone here own one?
Great selection! I really like most of these totes. I love a big bag! 🙂
I adore that Fendi tote, and I’m not a tote person. It looks like a billboard, and I’m here for it.
LOVE that Balenciaga!!! I might just go for it!
Does the Balenciaga come with a shoulder strap? If so, it’d be a dream.
I looked at the Balenciaga site and apparently it doesn’t. I also found it a bit too wide at 54 cm. If it were merely a large bag instead of a huge one (40 cm wide, 45 cm at most, more than enough to handle most laptops) and came with a good shoulder strap, I would agree with you!
I never gave up my big bags. They have as much of a place in my collection as my tiny bags do. Mini bags aren’t as multifunctional lovely, big totes. I really like the selection featured here, for both styles and prices.
