A guide to choosing your first tote

Size first. If a laptop goes in daily, take the large. If it is a market and lunch bag, the medium is better proportioned.

Print second

Choose the print you would wear as a shirt. If you would not, you will not carry it.

Handle drop last

Shoulder carry over a coat needs the longer drop. Hand carry looks sharper with the shorter one.
