If there’s one accessory taking centre stage this season, it’s the large bag. Practical, and effortlessly stylish, oversized bags are having a major moment and we’re here for it. Whether you need a large tote bag for work, a huge handbag for weekend getaways, or an extra-large tote handbag to carry it all, there’s a perfect big bag for every occasion.
Gone are the days of struggling to fit your essentials into a micro bag. This season, we’re channelling our inner Mary Poppins- because a bag that fits everything, from your laptop to your emergency snacks, is exactly what we need. And let’s be real- if you’re that friend (or mum) who gets handed everyone’s phone, keys, and mini clutch whenever you go out, a massive tote bag is practically a necessity.
The Trend of Oversized Bags
Fashion’s love affair with big handbags is nothing new but can be polarising. Those in the small-bag-camp may deem them to be ludicrously capacious, but we’re embracing large women’s bags in all their functional, fashionable glory. And it's not just us, oversized kiss lock purses featured across Spring Summer 2025 runways, proving oversized bags are the it bag of the season.
Micro bags may have ruled for a while, but let’s be honest- what can you actually fit in them? A single lip gloss and a credit card? It’s time to swap out tiny purses for large tote bags that carry everything, and look effortlessly chic while doing it.
Why Choose a Large Bag?
A big tote bag isn’t just a fashion statement- it’s a lifestyle upgrade. Here’s why:
✨ More Space, Less Stress - Never worry about cramming your essentials into a tiny purse again. A large tote bag with compartments keeps everything organized and within reach.
✨ Effortless Versatility - Whether you’re heading to work, running errands, or catching a flight, a women’s large handbag is the perfect companion.
✨ Style Meets Functionality - A large bag doesn’t just hold everything- it also adds instant polish to any outfit.
The Versatility of Large Tote Bags
For the Everyday: A huge tote is the ultimate go-anywhere bag. From weekday commutes to spontaneous road trips, a big tote bag ensures you’re prepared for whatever the day brings. Need a large black tote handbag for work? Opt for tote bags with laptop sleeves to protect your laptop, or compartments to keep your items organised.
Our favourite combo: the Blaire Tote Bag with Mesa Laptop Sleeve will keep you well organised during the work week.
For Holiday Travel: Travel light? Not with a huge tote bag! Opt for a tote bag with a long crossbody strap for hands-free convenience or a tote with luggage sleeve for easy transportation through the airport (be sure to pick cabin-friendly bag sizes).
Our favourite travel tote: the Chicago Tote Bag with Logo Strap (plus the luggage sleeve slips easily over regular sized suitcase handles).
Exploring Styles of Large Handbags
A big handbag isn’t just about size- it’s about effortless style. Whether you choose a structured large tote bag for work or a slouchy oversized bag for casual outings, there’s a silhouette to match your vibe. See our best selling Monaco Shoulder Bag (pictured) that offers the same space of a tote bag, with a more relaxed, slouchy silhouette.
Looking for a large tote bag that goes with everything? A large black tote is your ultimate wardrobe staple. Sleek, versatile, and always in style, it’s the go-to choice for work, weekend, and beyond.
Compartmentalizing Your Large Tote
With a big bag, staying organized is key. Use smaller pouches to keep essentials easy to find, and opt for a large tote with compartments to separate work, beauty, and daily must-haves.
A large bag doesn’t have to be a black hole of chaos. Look for features like:
✔️ Zippered sections for valuables
✔️ Dedicated laptop sleeves for work essentials
✔️ Multiple pockets to keep smaller items from getting lost
