Tote bags make you look like Mrs Howell from Gilligan's Island.

I wanna agree with the ginger knob, but then I occasionally use a totebag when me backpack's full doing groceries… It's either that or get a car... Looking like a complete twat certainly is the cheaper option so...

@Anesthetist, thanks for the compliment; I made it myself.  So the materials on the bag are excellent, the workmanship, significantly less so.  There are several minor things I'll change on the next version, but I'm generally happy with it.  And yeah, Cobra are stupidly overqualified for a messenger bag, but they are so nice.

i've never considered tote bags to be stylish by any means but they serve their purpose, especially if you have children.

I have children…..and a backpack

I love tote bags for shopping, or being at the beach.  Otherwise, I feel like I may as well be carrying a purse.  And since I'm definitely not doing that–backpack or messenger bag all day, every day.

i'd do tote bags, sling/ messenger bags, backpacks. pretty much everything… it's a bag, you put stuff in it. don't see why it's stylish or an accessory..

If I'm using it/carrying it, it has to be at least somewhat stylish… I put too much thought in to coordinating outfits to throw it all off balance with poorly selected accessories, lol

[louisbosco]

nah i'd get that point. i'm always thinking the night before on what i'm going to wear the next. which bag to match the outfit. but the utilitarian point of the bag i was on about, is that it's meant to hold your stuff in it..

that's why I use totes, for their utility. I can hold a decent amount of stuff in one but the backpack comes out if I know i'm going to be out and about for several hours and in a situation where I might have to carry my son. I don't really care if I look silly carrying a tote either.

Loving how unpopular this opinion is 

Totes look like something an old lady would pick up her groceries in.

True 

And nothing wrong with that, old peeps can have way more style than kids. Stopping to give a feck about what others might think helps a lot….

^this, i get my food shopping with a terrible tote bag in full knowledge that I look like an absolute dick, but it serves a purpose and i give no fu*ks

^ My mental image every time I see someone super cool on Instagram with their tote

I stand to what I said, look at her belt game…

My wife carries this one routinely, though it's a little different than the ones we're talking about.

She will fuck you up
