Zendaya Just Wore the Purse Trend That's So Much Fresher Than a Mini Bag

I always breathe a sigh of relief when the fashion pendulum swings away from impractical trends and toward more useful ones. That's precisely the case when it comes to tote bags, which have seemed to overtake mini bags in popularity lately—and for that I'm grateful. Call me a hoarder, but I simply can't fit everything I need into a tiny little bag. Where am I supposed to stash my full-size hand sanitizer, stuff for my dog, sunscreen, and bevy of lip balms? 

Photographed in Rome today, Zendaya wore a beautiful Valentino example of the tote bag trend and I couldn't be more obsessed. She teamed it with a pair of clogs and a sleek and simple gray wool coat by Loewe. So chic. Scroll down to shop my favorite tote bags on the market right now.

Associate Director, Fashion News

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
