5 Easy Style Upgrades for Accessorizing Your Tote

Your tote doesn’t just carry your essentials, but it can also carry your personality. A simple, structured tote offers the perfect canvas for small style upgrades that make it feel uniquely yours. With just a few thoughtful little touches, you can transform your everyday bag into something fresh, polished, and personal.
Here are five easy ways to accessorize your tote and make it stand out.
1. Tie on a Scarf or Bandana
A silk scarf or a colorful bandana wrapped around the handle instantly adds a pop of color and texture. It’s a quick way to match your tote to an outfit or the season. Try bold prints in the summer and rich tones in the fall. A woven style with a more neutral color like the Santorini Woven Straw Tote is the perfect backdrop for this touch.
2. Add a Bag Charm or Keychain
From playful tassels to minimalist charms, a keychain clipped onto the handle brings character to your bag. It’s an easy way to match your tote to your mood without making a permanent change.
3. Personalize with a Monogram Tag
A sleek luggage tag or monogrammed leather accent gives your tote a customized, elevated look. Tags can be stylish as well as practical, and they help identify your bag quickly when traveling.
4. Swap Out the Straps
If your tote has detachable straps, swapping them for a patterned or textured option can make it feel brand new. Even a subtle change, like switching from leather to a woven strap, can add personality and versatility. Keep an eye on all of LuxaTote’s collections for styles that let you play with this feature.
5. Layer in an Organizer Insert or Pouch
An organizer isn’t just practical, but can be an essential part of your look. A colorful pouch peeking out when you open your tote adds a stylish surprise. It also helps keep essentials neat and easy to grab. Many of the designs we’ve curated are structured to pair perfectly with inserts or coordinating pouches.
Final Note
Your tote is a fashion canvas that evolves with your style. A scarf here, a charm there, and suddenly it feels like a completely new piece. At LuxaTote, we design bags to be versatile enough for your daily routine, while also giving you room to make them your own.
