Dolce & Gabbana Tote Bags and Shoppers: The Guide

Dolce & Gabbana makes its tote bags the same way it makes its handbags, with a logo plate, Italian leather and often a house print. The house calls them shopping bags and shoppers, and Coveti carries them from USD 1,680 to USD 7,650. They are the work bags of the range, and the ones to choose when a Sicily bag is too small. For the full bag line up see the Dolce & Gabbana bags guide.

Quick answer: Dolce & Gabbana totes are the Sicily shopper, the Atene, the Carla and the 3.5 shopping bag, from USD 1,680 to USD 7,650 at Coveti. The Large Sicily shopper (31 x 37 x 13 cm) and the Atene (30 x 31 x 10 cm) fit a 13 inch laptop.

The totes at a glance

The Sicily shopper

The Sicily shopper takes the logo plate and the clean lines of the Sicily handbag and turns them into an open tote with two handles. The large version holds a laptop, a scarf and a water bottle. The straw and calfskin weave version is the summer one, and the large shopping bag with embroidery is the most decorated.

The Atene

The Atene is the house’s canvas and fabric shopper, the lightest and lowest priced tote in the range. In the majolica print it is the most recognisable Dolce & Gabbana beach and holiday bag.

The Carla and the 3.5

The Carla is a structured black shopper, smaller and more formal than the Sicily shopper. The 3.5 is a separate line with its own logo hardware; the shopping bag version is in split calfskin.

Canvas and lace

The fabric totes are lighter to carry and easier to clean than leather. The cordonetto lace shopper is the evening option, in black lace over a structured body.

What to look for in a tote

• Width over 30 cm if you carry a laptop.
• A zip pocket inside, since an open shopper does not close at the top.
• Leather handles long enough to sit on the shoulder over a coat.

Care

Wipe leather with a dry cloth; spot clean canvas with a damp cloth only. Never overfill a structured tote, and store it stuffed with tissue in its dust bag.
