The Tote Bag Is the Ultimate Man Bag
Fashion has made some serious headway when it comes to gender stereotypes in recent years. Categories that were previously ruled out for a particular gender have been blown wide open, with gender-neutral styling dominating Fashion Month this year. But, some vestiges of yesteryear still remain and one that really bugs us is guys & bags.
Pouches definitely broke the ice, finally freeing up valuable pocket space and showing guys that carrying a small bag is a life-changing decision, but there’s still some murkiness when it comes to mid-size bags. We’re firm believers in the tote bag, but we’re not talking about the throwaway canvas versions that litter your cupboards. No, we’re talking about serious, luxury tote bags.
Big enough to fit everything you need for a day, but not so large that they’ll hinder your daily errands, luxury tote bags provide the style and substance needed to really crack the guys vs. bags dilemma. Below, with the help of Browns, we’ve rounded up 10 luxury tote bags for men that will change the way you live.

ERL
ERL is famed for its inventive quilted designs but while we're used to seeing these in the form of puffer jackets, here the humble tote bag gets the treatment.
Burberry
A hard-wearing cotton build features Burberry's inimitable check pattern and leather trims to extend this tote's lifespan.
Rick Owens
Rick never fails to see even the most basic items from a different angle. This leather tote bag features a rugged canvas layer to the bottom half.
JW Anderson
Jonathan Anderson's seasonal collections are never too far from a food reference. This fleeced tote bag comes with bold strawberry detailing.
Klattermusen
Outdoor specialist Klattermusen applies its expertise to the Urur Bag to offer up a does-everything solution to your bag quandary. Wear it over the shoulder, like a backpack, or carry it by hand.
Givenchy
No big details needed here. The simple black luxury tote bag is finished with Givenchy's understated 4G logo to the bottom.
EASTPAK x Aries
EASTPAK has had a great run of collaborations recently. Work with Raf Simons, Undercover, and now Aries has positioned the classic backpack icon in line with some of contemporary style's most relevant.
Balenciaga
When The Simpsons took a trip to Paris to walk for Demna Gvasalia last year, the fashion world imploded. This tote bag is a great souvenir for one of the most fun style moments in recent memory.
Bottega Veneta
Bottega Veneta's signature weave makes up the Arco Tote Bag. Here in highlighter yellow, the high-quality leather is about as eye-catching as it comes.
Visvim
Cut from buttery-soft leather, the Mavcat Tote from visvim fits into the brand's history of placing materials and craftsmanship before any form of eye-catching details.
