Opening Ceremony's plaid tote bag style mimics retro farmer's market and grocery bags, and is available in three convenient sizes and two colorways -- a large that is ideal for travel, a medium, and a small which is a handy lunch bag option.
Following in the footsteps of Balenciaga -- a brand that recently gained mixed reviews and a lot of attention for a luxury tote inspired by IKEA's classic FRAKTA bag -- Opening Ceremony creates a fashion-forward and effortlessly cool supermarket tote.
Clad in a traditional checkered print, the plaid tote bag is crafted out of durable polypropylene, which is easy to clean as a bonus. The totes range from $35 for the smallest size to just under $50 for the largest option, making them an affordable designer piece that still remains an elevated take on a farmer's market must-have.
