One day, your faithful tote bag conveys your laptop and a couple of books, the next it holds three bunches of celery and a melon from the farmer's market. Regardless of size and composition, a good tote is easy to pack and unpack, functional whether you're heading to a coffee shop or an office, and attractive and versatile enough to bring to dinner afterwards. However, picking the right tote can be an overwhelming task as there is a wide range of options to suit a variety of tastes, carrying needs, and budgets.
