Whether you’re a longtime tote aficionado looking to upgrade your favorite carryall or you’re simply curious about what a travel tote bag can bring to your journeys, we’ve got you covered. Over the past few years, totes have evolved from humble, utilitarian shoppers into versatile travel essentials. According to a 2023 report by the Business of Fashion, totes are now a wardrobe mainstay, championed for effortlessly blending style and function. Vogue similarly notes that the “rise of the tote” is a direct response to our need for adaptable accessories that fit seamlessly into every facet of our lives.
But why are totes, particularly travel totes, gaining such momentum? One reason is their remarkable versatility. The New York Times highlights a growing preference for fewer, more multifunctional items—pieces that can streamline life whether you’re commuting, heading off on a weekend trip, or mixing business and leisure travel. A tote bag for travel satisfies this by performing double (or triple) duty: it’s spacious enough for a laptop and meeting notes, stylish enough for a city stroll, and practical enough to serve as a personal item on flights. Condé Nast Traveler observes how the rise of “bleisure” travel—where work and pleasure overlap—favors accessories that can adapt to these blurred lines effortlessly.
Our travel totes embrace this new era of do-it-all design. With minimalist exteriors that complement both your daily uniform and your vacation attire, plus interiors engineered for order, these totes offer the best of both worlds. If you’re a tote devotee, you’ll appreciate the meticulous craftsmanship and how easily our totes integrate into your existing rotation.

The size of your travel tote depends largely on how you intend to use it. Are you looking for a versatile bag for everyday use, or something bigger that can double as a carry-on for longer trips? Here’s how to figure out which size works for you:
If you’re looking for a tote that you can use on a daily basis or for shorter outings, one of our smaller or medium-sized travel totes will do the job perfectly. They’re great for carrying a laptop, your essentials, and maybe a water bottle.
For those times when you need a bit more space, opt for a larger tote bag for travel. These have plenty of room for clothes, toiletries, and any other weekend necessities.
If you’re traveling by plane, make sure to check the size requirements for carry-on luggage. Many of our travel tote bags are sized to fit under the seat, making them a convenient choice for air travel.
Absolutely. Our designs are intentionally unisex, so they work for anyone. The simple, elegant lines and neutral color palettes mean you can pair these bags with anything, whether you're heading to a business meeting or off on vacation. Plus, with options for a tote bag with a strap or a crossbody strap, you can adjust how you carry it based on your style or needs.
We use premium materials that are both luxurious and practical. Most of our travel totes are made from lightweight, water-resistant fabrics, so they hold up against unpredictable weather. We also focus on creating bags that last, using durable zippers and strong stitching to ensure your tote stands the test of time, no matter where your travels take you.
Taking care of your travel tote bag ensures it stays in great condition for years to come. Here are a few easy tips:
For fabric totes: A quick wipe with a damp cloth should do the trick for everyday dirt and grime. For deeper stains, you can use a mild soap and water solution.
For leather accents: If your tote has leather accents, make sure to condition the leather once or twice a year to keep it soft and prevent it from drying out.
Choosing the right travel tote bag is all about knowing what you need and what fits your lifestyle. Whether you’re looking for a smaller tote bag for your daily commute, a tote with crossbody straps for hands-free convenience, or a large, spacious tote for longer trips, Troubadour has the perfect option for you.
