Chrissy Teigen Carried a Gigantic Tote Bag During a Family Vacation, and These Similar Styles Are Just as Practical

While compact crossbody bags are all the rage among celebrities this season, Chrissy Teigen just ditched the fuss-free style for something much more spacious — but just as convenient — while traveling with her family of six.

On July 6, the cookbook author shared a roundup of snaps on Instagram detailing a recent fun-filled family vacation in Mexico. Although the post was chock-full of adorable kiddo content, sweet treats, and snaps of John Legend, it was the carousel’s third photo that really caught our eye.

In the picture, Teigen was petting a horse while wearing a black matching set complete with an extra-large tote bag slung over her shoulder. While the mother-of-four isn’t the first celebrity to sport the upsized style, her spacious carryall reminded us that sometimes bigger really is better — especially when trying to stay organized while traveling abroad.

We rounded up seven styles inspired by Teigen’s bag at Amazon, Lululemon, Gap, and more, and prices start at $12.

Homespon Large Waterproof Beach Bag

If you’re looking for a roomy tote bag for your next beach day or pool outing, this water- and sand-proof option from Amazon will be your new go-to. Hundreds of shoppers have given it a perfect rating for its “large and sturdy” construction and “spacious” design, and it comes in 14 colors and patterns — including Teigen-worn black.

“The bag is much lighter to carry than my other ‘pool bags’ and has tons of pockets for sunblock, goggles, etc.,” one reviewer wrote. “The inside holds three large beach towels as well as pouches for personal items and several changes of clothes.”

Lululemon Daily Multi-Pocket Tote Bag

For something you can take from the office to the gym and everywhere in between, try the Lululemon Daily Multi-Pocket Tote Bag that one shopper called “the perfect size for travel.” Its water-repellent fabric keeps your bag’s contents dry and secure, and its roomy exterior pockets mean you can easily access essentials, like your wallet, phone, and keys, within seconds.

“This bag is the perfect daily tote,” one shopper enthused. “Fits all of my daily essentials, plus more. As a mom of three, you never know what all you will be putting in there, but the fabric is easy to clean.”

Gap Linen-Cotton Tote Bag

Upgrade your basic canvas tote bag by snagging this linen-cotton option while it’s on sale. Its “lightweight but sturdy design” makes it a great option to carry during long days of chasing kiddos, like Teigen, and its interior pockets make organization a breeze. Grab it in black, or choose from five additional colors like distant blue and slipper red.

“Great for the beach or around town,” one shopper shared. “This would also be a wonderful baby bag. [There’s] plenty of room for all of your essentials, no matter your destination.”
