![]() I’ve used the Saint Laurent Rive Gauche tote all summer and don’t have a spot on it. Here’s my full review of the Saint Laurent Rive Gauche tote and my answers to the most frequently asked questions… FAQS: Does it get dirty easily? This bag has been one of the best summer purchases I made this year and I would definitely recommend it. I have to admit buying the Saint Laurent bag in the linen fabric made me a little nervous, but the linen is coated so it definitely doesn’t wear like typical linen does. The main reason I didn’t go for the Chanel Deauville tote was because I was worried it would get dirty easily and I wanted to buy a summer bag that I could take everywhere and not be super worried about ruining it. I was a little torn between this bag and the Chanel Deauville tote in gold/ivory – which was obviously more expensive and harder to track down. I’ve actually had this bag on my wish list since last spring and after waiting an entire year, I knew as soon as spring hit that this bag would be my main designer bag purchase for summer. I’ve talked a lot about how I carefully make investment bag purchases and why I don’t typically go for the “it” bags of the moment. It’s been my go-to bag this summer and I envision using it as a travel bag through the fall. I bought my Saint Laurent Rive Gauche tote this past spring and have already gotten so much wear out of it. ![]() After sharing my review of the Givenchy Antigona bag so many of you reached out asking me to review this bag next.

Her modern interpretation of the tote bag introduced a touch of elegance to this increasingly ubiquitous accessory. Cashin was Coach’s first lead designer, and she liked leather, large pockets and earth tones. Also during the 1960s, American designer Bonnie Cashin created the Cashin Carry for Coach. Tested to lug up to 500 pounds, the Boat and Tote became a best seller. Years later, during the 1960s, L.L.Bean’s Boat and Tote was introduced as an overhauled structured canvas version of the ice bag. There was no better bag to help haul big blocks of ice from the trunk of your car to your front door and, subsequently, to your kitchen. In those days, to keep produce and other foods cool in refrigerators, consumers had to regularly replace the blocks of ice that were doing all the work in their bulky appliances. From classic medium-sized Louis Vuitton leather tote bags to authentic Desa 1972 structured shoulder bags, the large selection of vintage and designer tote bags on 1stDibs offers something for special occasions as well as everyday needs.Īlthough part of a modern look, tote bags have been roomy and versatile accessories since at least 1944, with the launch of L.L.Bean’s “ice bag.” The Maine retailer, then largely known for rugged field coats and hunting shoes, had introduced a big, durable canvas bag that was initially intended to carry firewood or ice.
