When you're rushing out the door and reaching for a carryall, you're likely grabbing the tote with the most space (to better carry those farmers' market groceries or library books, of course). But the market bags worth shopping have so much more than just room to offer.

Whether in sturdy canvas or French Riviera raffia (or both), the top market bags add a touch of luxury to your daily essentials lineup now—and later. "The best part about market bags is that they get better with age," BAZAAR fashion and accessories editor Jaclyn Alexandra Cohen muses. "There's something so chic about a worn canvas bag or straw with patina."

You may opt for Saint Laurent's Rive Gauche tote, or Prada's colorful raffia bag, or a canvas carryall by Tory Burch. No matter your preference, Cohen advises you pay close attention to one feature more than the rest. "The secret is in the strap. I always look at length and material; something long enough to sit in a comfortable spot on my shoulder and also in leather or canvas for a smoother hold," she says.

Features like hidden pockets and spill-resistant fabric will also keep your essentials tidy—and, of course, the best market totes have extra space for when you really want to shop. So ahead, find 20 market totes up to the task of carrying everything you need for everyday errands, summer vacations, and beyond.
