There are exactly zero pressing fashion emergencies.

As long as lockdown continues, most of us are rewearing the same comfy sweatpants, hoodies and slippers from one end of the week to the next. So what to shop for while idling between Zoom meetings and trips to the fridge?

An enormous bag to collect your groceries in, of course.

These days, when the weekly food run is your only public outing, a decent tote counts as an essential purchase. Another bonus: the cost-per-wear is far more impressive than the sequin jumpsuit you bought for New Year’s Eve.

Sure, you can bring your usual bag-for-life, but if the grocery trip is your main excursion, you might as well make it special. Plus, avoiding flimsy plastic bags and disposable shopping bags is better for the environment in the long run.

Here are seven totes to add to your virtual cart immediately:

1. TOTAL BARGAIN

Zara’s branded tote bag has sturdy top handles but you can also fold it up en route to the shops. €9.95 here.

2. TOTALLY RECYCLABLE

This wipe-clean Urban Outfitters storage bag is both cute and eco-conscious. Order it, €22, here.

3. TOTAL CLASSIC

These 100% organic cotton shoppers last forever. They’re especially good for showing off your pretty organic produce. €9.99 each over here.

4. TOTAL FIND

At Other Stories, their large canvas tote bag is a touch chicer, with soft leather trim and spaghetti straps. €79 over here.

5. TOTALLY USEFUL

Pop plates, bowls, sandwiches and picnic stuff in this Picnic Sling, then open it out on the grass for an instant spread. €9.95 here.

6. TOTALLY TIMELESS

This lovely creased soft linen will get even better with age, even if you wash it regularly. Perfect for shopping or a day on the beach. €40 here.

7. TOTAL SPLURGE

Yeah, it’s mad but it’s also kind of brilliant. Marc Jacobs’ new canvas tote features a screen-printed logo and top zipper closure. Fancy. And €195 here, coming soon to Brown Thomas.
