If you're scared stiff of creasing the sheen and denting the structure of an austere leather shopper, just opt for a canvas bag! We've rounded up ten designer totes that'll can serve as your trusty bag for daily wear. If you're still on the hunt for a big bag that'll last you years, read on.

5. Valentino Garavani 02 Bow Edition Atelier Canvas Tote Bag

Valentino Garavani's penchant for grungier aesthetics is embodied in this swathed tote that bears some resemblance to medical gear. The wrap construction is reminiscent of gauze, while the blood red leather accent on the top handle might call to mind a first aid kit and other emergency paraphernalia. These unlikely references give the bag so much character, making this the perfect accessory to an all-white oversized outfit.

Tory Burch's treatment of the color yellow is reminiscent of vitamins, mangoes, parrots—it comes off as personal and warm, and, when paired with an off-white canvas, looks impeccably chic.

8. Burberry Logo Graphic Cotton Canvas Society Tote

After a slew of square totes, this slouchy silhouette with its clever contrast trimming is just reinvigorating. Much like the JW Anderson tote, this one seems to draw from nautical themes as well. The Burberry logo is encased in a buoy, and the pointy tips and black trimming are reminiscent of a sailor's collar. All in all, a taut, smart bag from the famed brand.

9. Fendi Peekaboo Iseeu East-West Canvas Bag

Not a fan of colossal carriers that you can empty drawers into? Let's dial down on size and take a look at this embroidered eyelet bag from Fendi. Yes, it's still roomy, but offers more structure and detail that the other totes on this list. This is very firmly a brunch bag: It's compact enough to be chic and dainty, but wide enough to be completely practical.

You don't need to cop a Birkin to be considered an Hermès girl—if you wish, you can dive feet first into their more casual, easygoing offerings, like this tall powder blue tote. If you look closely, you'll see that the foot of the bag features glistening prints that hint at the famed scarves that the luxury house is known for.
