The 15 Best Nylon Tote Bags Combining Form with Function (2024)

We can't talk nylon tote bags without highlighting an OG favorite—Longchamp's Le Pilage, particularly this version made from recycled materials.

Dimensions: 12.2"W x 7.5"D x 11.8"H

Colors: Black, cognac, graphite, bilberry silver, red

What reviewers are saying: "Such a classic. Goes with everything. Love that it’s lightweight and holds a ton of stuff."

Another iconic and luxurious nylon tote? Prada's re-nylon carryall made from recycled, purified plastic material collected in the ocean.

Dimensions: 29cm H x 35cm W x 15cm L

Colors: Black, beige

Sleek and minimal, Everlane's nylon tote is more than aesthetically on point but crafted from recycled materials and less than $100.

Colors: Khaki

What reviewers are saying: "I love this bag! It’s the perfect size, not to bulky, and looks amazing with nearly everything. The straps do not dig in to my shoulder after a long day like other bags I have. I use it for work and travel and it works like a dream! Keep the great products coming, Everlane!"

Kate Spade, another designer synonymous with nylon, is the ultimate pick for a polished work-ready carryall.

Dimensions: 6.25" H x 10.25" W x 3" D

Colors: Black

What reviewers are saying: "Love the bag. Been a long time since I bought a non-leather bag and one bigger than a small clutch. Great style, not too big, wears well. Much roomier than it looks."

Carry this best-selling quilted nylon tote on your shoulder, crossbody, or by the top handles—it's peak versatility.

Dimensions: 9 1/2”W x 10 1/2”H x 5”D

Colors: Black, grey, blue

What reviewers are saying: "I’m so glad I decided to go with the medium size Sutton. I love the long handles as I can wear the purse on my shoulders. The crossbody strap is very handy as well. The purse material is soft but durable. It’s great that I can wear it 2 ways: with the clips connected on the sides and/or the option to carry it like a tote bag. Very versatile, I highly recommend!"

The water-resistant black nylon tote is a modern standout with a gathered silhouette.

Dimensions: 12"H x 21"W x 10"D

Colors: Black, oxblood

Calpak's got sleek functionality down pat—we love this expandable tall tote for those always lugging their laptop (and so much more).

Dimensions: 13.5" x 20" x 6.5"

Colors: Chocolate, oatmeal, matte black, rose quartz, and 13 more

What reviewers are saying: "I use my Expandable Laptop Tote in Oatmeal DAILY. This is my heavy hitter commuter bag. My job requires a mobile office courtesy of whatever bag I have on me. I carry my work laptop (previously a 17" chunky boi for running CAD software, now a 15.6" Latitude 5540), laptop and phone chargers, notebooks, planner, a pencil bag, computer mouse, water bottle, and usually a knitting project and snacks. There has NEVER been a moment where I've wondered if it would all fit, and that's without using the expandable feature! The fabric is easy to clean and durable. It's still professional enough to carry to meetings with clients or upper management while being functional to the extreme. Even loaded up the way I have it, it doesn't ever get too heavy or unwieldy! Though I'll freely admit that maneuvering through a turnstile while using this bag AND carrying coffee is a skill in itself."

Tumi is synonymous with chic and durable travel pieces—opt for this top-zip tote if you're seeking something oversized.

Dimensions: 18"W x 14"H x 8"D

Colors: Black, indigo, plum, fog

What reviewers are saying: "Loved this bag. Was extremely practical and held lots of things best carry-on ever and folds up into the small pouch to store."

From the distinctive silhouette and clay color to the nine functional pockets and ultra-lightweight feel, this nylon tote by Caraa epitomizes sleek modernity.

Dimensions: 12.5 x 22 x 11"

Colors: Clay, black

What reviewers are saying: "I bought a gorgeous light pink Cumulus bag years ago and abuse it every day to and from work. So I was happy to buy a black Cumulus as well. I put it through the washing machine several times and it remains durable. It is the best bag to keep everything organized. I love the dedicated compartments so beverage bottles don't ever tip over INSIDE THE BAG! I stuff it to the max with a laptop, snacks, extra shoes, boxed lunches, and all the other daily essentials. The fabric is durable for being so light and soft. It really feels like a cloud! The extra long key leash is so smart and convenient. I never have to unclip my keys or car fob to use them."

With a cult following, you can't beat Baggu's durable ripstop nylon shoppers—nor the price tag for a three-set.

What reviewers are saying: "Love, Love this bag! It's not huge, but fits a lot! Perfect for the gym or casual outings, but I'll also take it to the beach this summer. So well made with high-quality material that you can wipe right off. The neutral color goes with everything. Wasn't sure about the dual handles when I ordered it, but now couldn't do with out them. Don't hesitate to get it... you will LOVE it!!!"
