Frequently asked questions
Women's tote bags are large bags often fitted with handles or shoulder straps. Women's tote bags are often used as handbags or pretty shoulder bags to carry everything you need for everyday use or for your shopping sessions. Your pretty besace in large format can also accompany you on your shopping trips or be transformed into a beach bag for an afternoon swim. Much more practical than your small handbag, this tote bag will be your best ally on long days at school, where you can slip in your laptop sleeve, notebooks or textbooks. If you like, you can also use your large tote bag as a much more elegant sports bag. At L'Exception, you'll find different types of tote bag. Shopping bags can vary in size, from very large to very small. So it's important to think about how you'll use this pretty women's handbag from the outset. If you want to use it for more than just a handbag, you'll want to opt for the larger, softer sizes so you don't run out of space, and add a small pocket to keep your things organised. If you want to use your tote bag as a fashion accessory, you can always choose a smaller model to keep things neat and tidy. You're bound to find the model that suits you best, depending on your preferences. What's more, some models close with a zip to secure your belongings, while others are completely open so you can put more inside. As well as materials and different colours, you have a multitude of choices when it comes to your new school bag, handbag or beach bag.
A tote bag can be made from a variety of materials, including real leather, patent leather, imitation leather or canvas. To look after a large canvas shopping bag, there are a few tips to follow. Firstly, regular cleaning is essential, so use a damp cloth to clean the outside of the bag. For stubborn stains, you can add a small amount of mild soap. It's also important to avoid liquids; in fact, it's important to avoid putting liquids that could spill inside the tote. If a leak occurs, clean it up immediately. If a stubborn stain remains on your beautiful shopping bag, some canvas tote bags can be machine washed. Check the instructions to see if this is recommended and follow the washing instructions. Finally, store your shopping bag in a dry place to avoid any mould and avoid overloading it, although shopping bags can carry a lot, but avoid overloading your bag. For your leather tote bag, many of the same instructions apply. Once all this has been done, your women's handbag will be in perfect condition.
The load capacity of large shopping bags can vary, but is generally between 5 and 20 kilograms, depending on the rectangular design, materials and sturdiness of the bag. Indeed, a black leather bag or a canvas or straw bag will not weigh the same, nor will they have the same load capacity. What's more, interior pockets often create extra storage space. More specific tote bags, such as shopping bags, are often designed to carry light to medium loads. It's a good idea to check the specifications to find out the precise load capacity of the shopping bag you choose. As well as being practical, a tote bag is a timeless piece of clothing that goes with any outfit you choose.
Tote handbags can be adapted for travel, or at least for a weekend getaway as beach bags, depending on their size, durability and design features. Some tote bags are designed specifically as travel bags, with a zipped closure for added security, large storage capacity and organized interior compartments for personal belongings such as your make-up bag, for example. Make sure you choose a sturdy, practical and functional tote bag capable of meeting your specific travel needs. However, it will be easier to travel in spring-summer than in winter with a tote bag, as it is not a travel bag as such, and its capacity is not infinite. That's why it's best to opt for lightweight clothing to ensure that everything fits into each compartment. What's more, to optimize your storage, opt for soft leather, so you can slip in a few extra items.
In the collective imagination, the tote bag represents a large shopping bag that's far from trendy. However, tote bags know how to be very elegant and are true women's fashion pieces. Often thought of as women's handbags, tote bags have become popular fashion accessories. Increasingly replacing the small handbag, the maxi bag will take center stage in the coming seasons. We can assure you that the tote bag and the large handbag in general, will very soon become part of your bag collection. Many luxury bag brands, such as Marc Jacobs, also offer beautiful tote bags in a variety of styles, colors and materials, making them glamorous and suitable for different occasions. Designers often incorporate aesthetic elements to respond to fashion trends, making tote bags more than just practical bags, but also stylistic statements. What's more, a tote bag can accessorize an outfit with its imposing size or color. Any occasion is a good opportunity to make a statement with your new tote bag, for a casual or elegant look, depending on the bag model for women. It's the perfect addition to your wardrobe, and goes well with a wide range of pieces. If you'd like to add inside pockets to organize your belongings, you can match them to your new bag, or choose a different color to break up the monochrome style.
