Because a new bag needn’t be expensive, and because you just want an everyday carryall that’s equal parts form and function. The extra bonus? Each comes with dual top handles for easy carrying wherever you go. And they are all pretty affordable as well, with prices ranging from SGD490 to SGD650. Keen on getting a fuss-free mini tote to add to your growing rotation of bags? You know what to do.

01 – Coach Field Tote 22, SGD650
The Field Tote has grown to become a signature style at Coach. This new version in denim certainly makes for an eye-catching piece, with the Coach Signature print all over. Measuring 22 cm wide and 21 cm high, this square-like tote comes with an extra webbing strap, in case you prefer it slinging over the shoulder or wearing across the body for a hands-free look. COACH

02 – Furla Opportunity Mini Tote Bag, SGD490
Furla’s never one to shy away from creating fun miniature bags (case in point: The Re-Candy series). This latest number called the Opportunity comes decked out with multiple Furla Arch logos woven in lurex. The glittering metallic effect gives the mini tote (22 cm by 16 cm) a shiny appeal to add extra sparkle to your everyday life. FURLA

03 – Kate Spade Manhattan Tweed Small Tote, SGD520
Call it a petite version of the brand’s large signature carryalls. The Manhattan Tweed Small Tote from Kate Spade measures 26 cm wide and 22 cm high. There’s something lovely about the multicolour criss-cross tweed fabric, and the bag’s open-top format makes it easy to reach within. It will even hold your iPad Air with ease, along with ample space for a portable umbrella, wallet and other bits and bobs. KATE SPADE

04 – Marc Jacobs The Monogram Small Tote Bag, SGD490
Marc Jacobs officially unveiled its new monogram line on its classic range of tote bags. The small size is pretty roomy at 34 cm by 27 cm, offering numerous compartments. An interior zip, two slip pockets and a card slot keeps everything neatly organised. The extra jacquard sling is a definite plus, converting the tote bag into a crossbody in no time at all.

05 – Tory Burch Tory Tote, USD398 via SHOPBOP
Not only is the Tory Tote perfect for summer (or in Singapore’s case, all year round), but it also comes in a cream cotton canvas that pairs well with most outfits. The boxy silhouette is also expandable (up to 39 cm in width) if you ever need more space. In other words, a versatile tote that will suit different needs. SHOPBOP
