10 Stylish Travel Tote Bags That Have An "It" Girl Factor

'Tis the season for hosting your first Christmas dinner, buying gifts,and looking at travel tote bags for last-minute trips! Whether you're booking a solo trip or plan to have a getaway in 2024, you should do it in style.

Although we live for a cute handheld clutch, they're not always practical when you're rushing through the airport and have to keep your essentialsin place. The last thing you want to do is accidentally leave your boarding pass in a bathroom stall right before your trip to California — this actually happened to someone on Brit + Co's team!

Even if you're not one to leave things behind, it never hurts to have carry-ons that work with your outfit and the flight boarding process. Here's the top stylish travel tote bags we think are perfect for that and then some!
