The leather tote is the canvas slogan bag's sleeker cousin. Consider it a staple in your handbag collection, particularly if you run a 9am-to-9pm schedule. The tote plays backup to your purse, holding all of those annoying extras: your laptop, gym clothes, heels for the evening hours. With all of your bulky essentials housed together neatly, you suddenly look put together.

Frustratingly, we've noticed a tier of lovely leather totes reaching toward four digits. Since we just can't imagine throwing down quite so many bills on a freaking tote bag, we've found nine sturdy options that range from $125 to $298. Click through our gallery for a sunny Gap tote, a camo print by Bags in Progress, and seven other roomy bags sure to brighten your load.
