Tragically, not all tote bags are made equal. If they were, they’d resemble the durable design of this one from Lands’ End. With a flat base, strong straps, and water-resistant trim, it’s a canvas classic that can carry both a laptop and a round of grocery shopping without strain, and look good doing it. With the sunny yellow colorway currently 70 percent off using the discount code SNOW, it’s more than ready to replace your motley crew of reusables.
We foresee ourselves taking this along to the park or the beach as the weather warms up. You could even use it as a carry-on personal item, taking full advantage of the bag’s magical, Mary Poppins–esque packing powers. Especially at this price, it’s a worthy dupe for the longtime Strategist favorite L.L.Bean Boat and Tote, right down to the bag’s customizable handle length, zip top, and the ability to monogram its exterior panel with your name, initials, or an inside joke. While we’re partial to this springtime hue, you can get 40 percent off the bag’s other colored-strap options using code WXERZ40.
The Strategist is designed to surface the most useful, expert recommendations for things to buy across the vast e-commerce landscape. Some of our latest conquests include the best acne treatments, rolling luggage, pillows for side sleepers, natural anxiety remedies, and bath towels. We update links when possible, but note that deals can expire and all prices are subject to change.
