14 The New Tote
The New Tote Leading trend forecaster WGSN can’t get enough of this bag category, stating: “From #businesscasual to #vibrantvacation, the tote bag is key for adding newness and conveying long term value.” And neither can we! They provide the perfect balance of traditional details and novelty updates, catering to multiple markets. Sustainability continues to be a major focus as natural materials like hemp, jute, and reused cotton are trending. In addition, eco-friendly fabrics like recycled plastic and upcycled leather make the tote feel new and modern. From a fashion perspective, the Men’s tote is a contemporary choice for 2022. Wear it with a crossbody strap for a casual on-thego style, under the shoulder for a handsfree option, by the handles for a traditional look, or on your back as an updated hybrid backpack. From medium to super-sized scale, the tote bag can handle it all.
