Goyard Saint Louis PM Tote Bag ($2,200)
"I was skeptical about this tote, then a friend let me borrow it for a European vacation (sharing!) and I was hooked," Giese says. "It held SO many things: laptop, hardcover book, sweater, and everything I needed for a long haul flight with my 10-year-old son. I had Violet buy me one because she was going to Paris shortly after. It's unstructured but still structured, which doesn't make sense to me but it works. It folds and doesn't hold the creases, which always blows my mind. Bonus: you can lend it on Tulerie and make money back!" The version linked here is part of FWRD's Renew program and comes with the original dust bag, brand box, and authenticity card.
Gross's pick, meanwhile, is the Dior Toile De Jouy Book Tote Bag ($2,600), which is also available via FWRD Renew. She describes it as "similar to Diana's love of the Goyard, but with structure," explaining, "I love all my bags to have structure. This bag fits anything - computers, books, snacks, water, clothes. It's so versatile and easy, I just love it and use it constantly."
