IIs the 2024 leather Tote having a totemic moment?

According to The Business of Fashion, the iconic Hermes Birkin (and its stablemate, Hermes Kelly) now accounts for over €2 billion in annual revenue for Hermes. Preloved Birkins are now selling for between £10,000 and £25,000.

The classic Tote bag shape is designed as an ‘everyday’, unstructured bag, enabling more space for more items from laptops to baby bottles!

With so many variations (and prices to choose from), our top five selections for this season include Mulberry England, Chloé, Aspinal of London Limited, the reversible Polo by Saint Laurent and Anya Hindmarch’s ‘Return to Nature’ Tote. This bag is designed to be biodegradable at the end of its life.
