How to carry a tote with elegance — complete guide to style and outfits with a tote

• Shoulder carry — a modern and natural large-bag styling

Carrying your tote on the shoulder is undoubtedly the most instinctive but also the most contemporary way to adopt it. Ideal for active days, this carry offers a natural allure while remaining mastered. It also presents an essential advantage: freeing the hands while ensuring comfortable hold, even when the bag is fully loaded. A slight curved reinforcement has been integrated into the handles of our ÉCLAT design to bring optimal comfort throughout the day. It is therefore an option particularly suited to the sustained rhythms of the everyday — a large-bag styling that does not set comfort aside.

➣ In terms of outfit with a tote, this carry pairs easily with a pared-back wardrobe: a fluid trench, straight jeans and a white shirt completed by loafers.

The whole creates a balanced silhouette in which the tote naturally finds its place without weighing down the line.

• Hand carry — an assertive outfit with a tote

Holding your tote by hand reveals its structure, the precision of its lines as well as the richness of its material. This gesture of elegant ease underlines an assertive attitude, a certain form of measured boldness, and elevates the silhouette as a whole. With this carry, the bag becomes a central piece of the style: it immediately attracts the eye.

➣ For outfits with a tote associated with this allure, opt for elegant and mastered silhouettes: a well-cut suit, a fluid dress or a monochrome wardrobe. Carried with pumps or refined ankle boots, it ideally accompanies professional meetings or moments when one wishes to assert a more poised and confident presence.

Bold in attitude and strong in allure, this carry underlines the balance between modernity and elegance.

• In-the-arm carry — the right balance of large-bag styling

Carrying your bag in the crook of the arm allows you to highlight even more the form and material of the design, naturally underlining its design. It immediately brings a more structured and elegant allure, in a gesture at once mastered and feminine. This use is often associated with a more dressed and professional style: a tote slipped in the crook of the arm perfectly accompanies a working day, a meeting or an important rendezvous.

➣ In terms of outfit with a tote, this carry will pair perfectly with a long coat, a skirt or fluid trousers, completed by sober shoes — pumps or ankle boots. It works particularly well with noble materials.

In terms of large-bag styling, this carry embodies a subtle balance between ease and elegance.

• Ébène: a chic and universal black, the base of any outfit with a tote.

• Sienne: a warm and natural ochre shade, ideal for autumn looks.

• Liane: luminous and deep, the signature colour of the Maison.

• Lazuli: a navy with enveloping softness, sophisticated alternative to deep black.

Each of these shades has been imagined to cross the seasons and to pair easily with varied styles. There is, for every woman and every outfit, a shade able to naturally find its place.
