The Thousands

As much as we like to think of ourselves as unhindered, wireless creatures from the future, the amount of stuff we lug around gets more ridiculous by the minute. Ever tried leaving the house without a bag? Nuts. Or even a spare bag to go in that bag, just in case you get more stuff? Forget about it. Here are a few of the nicest totes and stuff carriers we’ve spotted of late:

Bag 1. Jack Spade duffle bag
Details: $269, Incu, New York artisan bags of minimalist perfection.

Bag 2. Note To Self totes

**Bag 3. Nieves Tote
