Why is the big (over-sized, huge, giant) luxury tote the “it” bag this summer? Call it a sign of the times, dear reader. We all have to travel these days with a bunch of new accouterments – face mask, hand sanitizer, towel or mat to sit on when we ride the subway. And we still need all the usual stuff: sunscreen, snacks, sunglasses, etc. A tiny nano bag just isn’t going to get the job done. Happily, there are lots of gorgeous over-sized luxury designer tote and beach bags out there right now – here are some of our best favorites to grab and go in summer 2020.
the big luxury tote is the “it” bag this summer
What’s with all the huge designer bags right now? After weeks of working from home and sheltering in place, with no need for a bag of any type, as we emerge from our cocoons we’ve noticed a plethora of giant bags on the streets of the city (and in the Hamptons).
What’s up with that?

From what we can tell, we all just have a lot more STUFF to tote around than we used to, in those halcyon days before anyone had ever heard the phrase “COVID-19.”

Remember those tiny micro and nano bags we thought were going to be the look of the summer? We were wrong.
Turns out that the “it” bag of summer 2020 is looking like the big tote. You know, something roomy enough to carry all our disinfecting and personal protective gear.

Of course, we’ve all been carrying large totes in an insouciant manner for years, especially when we’re traveling or when the weather is warm.
The difference this time is that some of these bags are all business: made of leather, sporting dark colors, and perfect for those days when you’re actually going into the office.
But for sure the big beach bag is also still very much in the mix – this year, they’re even larger, and some are made of terrycloth (yep, we’re looking at you, FENDI).
If you’re in the mood for a big new tote, here are some of the best ones we found in a recent online shopping spree.
