Bottomless Bag

A large tote can double as a playful accessory and a storage spot for anything you might need throughout the day. Stash the essentials—sunnies and a scarf for weather changes, a notebook to jot down travel musings and a few statement jewelry pieces—and you’ll be prepared to go from daytime sightseeing to nightlife exploring. Bonus points for hands-free bags.
