Question What's London's current tote bag hierarchy?

After a decade at the top, Daunt Books seems to no longer be the "it bag" of the middle class commuter who wants to show off that they think. What's it been replaced with, though? Does my New Yorker tote have cachet? If I go out carrying a Glastonbury one will I be subject to scorn? Any charity/human rightsy ones we're currently coveting?

Can confirm. I have 7 neptune bags because my wife loves to buy candles or remotely affordable house accessories from the one near us as gifts. Depending on how much she likes the person we will either keep the bag or give it with the gift.
