A new style of bag, dubbed the "good intention" or "intentional" bag, is emerging as a potential alternative to the traditional tote. John Lewis launched a £149 version this season, designed to be larger and more practical than standard handbags. These bags, exemplified by the John Lewis "Intentional tote bag," are designed to carry items like lunch, books, and even gym clothes. The trend extends beyond high street retailers, with variations appearing in LA's "gorpcore" style. The bag's appeal lies in its combination of style and functionality, offering a solution for carrying everyday essentials.
