You might have seen Chloe's version of the easy-to-carry canvas tote (that also has calfskin, of course!) trending on the runway, and comes with a INR 75,000 price tag. Or you've been getting the Instagram posts on your feed over and over with the Art-Chives The India Tote bag. Either way, canvas bags are IN this summer. Besides, it is always handy to have large roomy bags, and those you can wash easily! So, here's our pick of brands that do canvas bags - totes to backpacks, that come with all the benefits of the Chloe one, but minus the price! 

Hues Studio

Hazel Tote

Hazel Tote

4500

If we had to describe Hues Studio in a phrase, it would be aesthetics meet utility. They do handcrafted bags, mostly focusing on canvas as a material and you can get it customised to have your name on it. This tote is made from twill canvas and brown faux leather, from the looks of it, is quite sturdy and won't lose its shape (like most canvas bags). The long detachable strap is a plus too. 

Best Features: Good quality, handcrafted, sturdy

Price: INR 2,399 upwards

Art-Chives

The India Tote

The India Tote

8000

We loved this brand's India Tote the moment it popped up on our IG feed (and the 20 times it came back again!). Available in blue and red, the base is pure cotton canvas with coloured straps/handles. The nautical blue bag has a "rogue palace money" on it, while the red one features a snake and Koel on an old Mughal ruin. You can even monogram them!

Best Features: The cotton canvas handles are gently rounded so the straps don't cut into your shoulders. 

Price: INR 8,000

Pro Tip: Only send this one to specialist dry cleaners in Mumbai & Bangalore ideally.

Wallets are just about INR 299 and totes are at about INR 500 (but currently are on sale!). The long handles of the totes make it easy to sling over your shoulder. But don't fill these too much as they're not too durable. Best to use as a shopping bag or for a picnic, but not to pile into.
