Between sunscreen, water bottles and that extra pairs of shoes, it seems we’re always carrying more than our share.

If you’re going to schlep this summer, do it in style with a bright Mirabel Shopper tote ($145) from Montreal accessory line WANT Les Essentiels de la Vie.  Made from sturdy organic cotton and trimmed in leather, it comes in east-west or north-south format that can be rolled up in your suitcase. Even better there are two inner shoe pockets.

It’s sold in the men’s section but really, what do boys need to carry around anyway?
