Nowadays our everyday tote isn’t just for the office. It’s a shopping bag, gym bag and even a cocktails-with-the-girls bag. Emirates Woman picks out this year’s top multifunctional options that will look the part regardless of the occasion.
THE BACKPACK
Leather and suede backpack Dhs4,963 Stella McCartney at mytheresa.com
This is the year of the backpack revival with Stella McCartney paving the way with an elegant option featuring skinny straps and soft monochrome leather. It’s a winning combination of comfort and chic.
THE BIG BUCKET BAG
Diorific Dhs41,000
Soft, supple and roomy, the new Diorific bucket bag will fit everything. Swing it low with ripped jeans and a basic tee or hang from the wrist and pair with a little black dress. The sequin emblems help amp up the glam factor.
THE PAPER BAG
Papyrus leather tote POA Lanvin Paris
Last September Alber Elbaz introduced us to the Lanvin Paper bag. By day it looks like a sassy metallic shopper, come twilight scrunch it up and treat it like an oversized clutch – et viola, you have a multi-functional must-have.
THE STRUCTURED TOTE
Miss Sofia bag Dhs8,870 Versace
Named after a movie star (Sofia Coppola) and worn by movie stars, Dolce’s Miss Sofia is for the girl who likes to keep her look minimal, classy and suitably polished. Miss Sofia is one part ladylike with a super-structured frame, and one part practical with double side pockets and magnetic closure.
