French Tote Bags<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These French girl tote bags are just one of the essential French girl handbags<\/a> you need in your closet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Longchamp Le Pliage Bag<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is one of the first French tote bags I ever owned. The Longchamp Le Pliage<\/em> Bag<\/a> has been a best-selling French girl tote bag for years. It comes in a variety of colors and has a simple design of an unstructured body, a full zipper closure, a small leather flap, and two long leather shoulder straps. This is a great first tote bag to buy because it\u2019s chic, affordable, and incredibly practical. The tote bag adjusts to what you put in it. It falls flat and stays close to your body if you don\u2019t put much in it. Conversely, it expands as you need it to when you\u2019re carrying a lot. I love using it at the airport because of the zipper top closure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pol\u00e8ne Num\u00e9ro 12 Bag<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I recently received the contemporary French handbag brand Pol\u00e8ne\u2019s latest leather tote bag \u2013 the Num\u00e9ro 12<\/a> Cyme bag. This chic minimalist tote bag has a unique shape that makes it slightly round on each side. The four lower corners are pulled inwards on the bag, giving it a bubble shape effect. What I love about this tote bag is the practicality of holding it \u2013 it has both short handles for carrying the tote with my hands or hanging it on my forearm, and it has longer straps for tossing over my shoulder. It also comes with a matching leather zipper pouch for organizing smaller items like my face masks, keys, and lipstick. It has a single magnetic snap closure at the center. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goyard Saint Louis Tote<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I always see the Goyard Saint Louis Tote<\/a> when I walk around Paris\u2019 chic 16th arrondissement. It was named after King Louis IX of France, formerly known as “Saint” Louis. This unlined tote bag is very lightweight and incredibly spacious. It’s reversible so you can switch up your look as you please. It can easily hold a laptop and plenty of other daily essentials. It comes with a removable pouch for carrying small items. The Goyard tote measures 40 cm long. It comes in 11 color combinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saint Laurent Shopping Bag<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The sleek Saint Laurent Shopping Bag Tote<\/a> measures 14 \u00bd inches wide, 11 \u00bd inches tall, and has a 6-inch depth. It\u2019s quite minimal in appearance making it perfect for getting understated chic French girl style<\/a>. The structured tote bag has a single centered snap closure so I wouldn\u2019t recommend taking it to the airport. It also comes with an interior zip pouch. It comfortably fits a 13-inch Macbook making it great for work!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chanel Large Shopping Bag<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The glamorous beige Chanel tote bag<\/a> has both short handles and long shoulder straps. The cream color makes it great for use in the spring and summer. The Chanel logo is lightly embossed on the surface of the bag. The shoulder straps are made of the signature silver chains that Chanel is known for. This French tote bag measures 19.5 inches wide, 11.7 inches tall, and has a depth of 8.6 inches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4071,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[194],"tags":[21,162],"_yoast_wpseo_focuskw":"French
