Best Bet: Into the Fold

Sure, wallet-size clutches and mini cross-body bags are cute. But when we’re schlepping from work to the gym to the grocery store, sometimes we need something more substantial. This origami-inspired shoulder bag offers a stylish take on the versatile cotton tote, stitched from Italian cotton and linen. Despite its patchwork appearance, the bag’s sturdy straps will stand up to your beat-up old favorite. But our favorite part is its size (measuring 20 inches deep and 17.5 inches across), large enough to fit your laptop, gym gear, or bottles of wine.
