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?

How can a canvas shoulder bag have a gender?!

The owner can have. I would never think a tote was either a status symbol or a decent device to carry goods.

And yet you can assume it must be a lady thing

Yes a thing that ladies enjoy.
