Top 7 Tote & Shoulder Bags

1. Everything Tote 19L

Best for: Minimal everyday use with lots of space

This is Moment’s signature tote with just enough space to hold your camera in the 4L camera insert, or diapers and extra clothes if you’ve got little ones. The material resists pet hair and crumbs (thank goodness), which comes in handy on long road trips or daily adventures. Inside, there are multiple slip pockets and an optional strap so you can wear it cross-body. Cute enough for the coffee shop, durable enough for the plane, and roomy enough to turn into a camera bag if you want. My favorite part is its sturdy bottom layer, so you can set it down and walk away without worrying about it flopping over with your precious gear.

Pros: Super sleek, ample space for storage, and the go-to pick for... literally everything.

Everything Travel Tote - Black

$150

The tote to work anywhere, travel everywhere. Part work bag, part traveler, this tote keeps it simple. It’s durable and water-resistant shell fabric keeps your gear protected and tote looking good. Dedicated pockets on the inside keep your small items organized, your laptop protected, and your water bottle in place. The ultra-soft straps are tough while being comfortable in hand or on your shoulder, even when wearing a tank top. The minimally padded base helps the bag stand upright while maintaining a natural feel - unlike other overly padded tech totes. This is the stylish, comfortable, and functional tote we always wanted.

2. Beacon Tote

Best for: Casual adventures & film shooters.

Long Weekend’s brainchild, Willem Verbeeck, needed more space than a sling, but without the bulk or weight of a backpack, so he crafted the Beacon Tote. It’s a nod to retro vibes with a modular interior, perfectly tailored for film photographers in mind (hence the extra small pockets for film rolls!) Inside, you’ll find a variety of small and large pockets, carries a 16" laptop, and the exterior sports the same Santa Fe–style Long Weekend branding.

Pros: Retro aesthetic meets modularity. Weatherproof, and just the right size for the daily trail walks.

3. Peak Design Everyday Messenger 13L

Best for: Those who like the messenger back look, but also like carrying cameras.

It's like a briefcase but more modern. It can pack a ton of tech or everyday goods, not just papers for a meeting. It sports the same look and feel as Peak Design's best-selling 20L backpack but in shoulder bag form.

You can carry it over the shoulder or crossbody, and it has a secure luggage pass-through strap on the back, perfect for airplane travel. Its internal storage compartment holds tons of documents, a 14" laptop, and even cameras. Peak's Everyday Line was designed and built with the protection, organization, and access needed to carry camera gear, from a single mirrorless camera to a complete pro kit. But unlike a dedicated camera bag, Everyday Bags are perfect for organizing literally anything.

This pack was crafted alongside renowned photographer Trey Ratcliff and honed with the feedback of thousands of customers.

Pros: The look and feel of a traditional messenger-style bag.

4. Peak Design Everyday Totepack 20L

Best for: Sleek outfitters.

To really show off what Peak Design is capable of, we had to include a more structured, proper tote from them too. The Packable 20L beauty is a premium-feeling, backpack-style tote (is that a thing?) kind of like the Moment Everything Tote, but for your back. It carries slightly more than others on this list at 20L and features durable FlexFold dividers. You can pack a Fujifilm X-T5 with a 50mm lens attached, a Patagonia rain shell, headphones, smaller essentials, and a hard drive no problem. Stretchy interior pockets are great for small items like batteries or SD cards, and there’s a protective 15” laptop sleeve in the rear pocket, along with additional tablet sleeves.

Pros: Back-wearing tote for those who needs to larger carry option.

The Everyday Totepack brings together the sleek look of an old-school tote, with the carry convenience of an everyday backpack.

Stretchy pockets on the interior are for smaller items, like batteries or SD cards, plus a protective 15” laptop sleeve on the rear of the back pocket with tablet sleeves.The exterior shell is made of 100% weatherproof 400D materials to keep everything safe in a downpour.

6. Long Weekend Santa Fe Shoulder Bag

Best For: Those who think backpacks are too much.

This is the cutest shoulder bag to date. It is tailored to the film photographer who loves to carry minimal gear and a few extra rolls of film.

The last thing you want to have is too much on me or a heavy load, so a camera-designed sling is perfect for these situations.

Being able to zip open the sling and switch lenses quickly helps a lot when out on the street for photo walks or shoots. If you're in a city or area where it's important not to stick out with your gear because you risk becoming a target, shoulder bags are way safer and easier to use than a backpack.

It strikes the right balance of size and organization — just enough room for what you need without the extra fluff. Made from rugged 500d Recycled Nylon and technical gridstop, it’s weatherproof and built to last through every pit stop. Better yet, it comes in a lineup of rad, vintage-like color-ways that’ll catch the eye of any design lover.

Pros: Super darn pretty looking.

7. Boundary Supply Rennen Rennen X-Pac Tote Bag

Best for: Picnics to coffee shops.

We love a good catch-all bag that's durable and sustainable but sleek enough to bring to a picnic and a coffee shop date. The Rennen Tote Bag X-Pac is durable enough to hold heavy camera gear with a 4L Cmarea insert equivalent but sleek enough to carry just clothes for an overnight trip. A sunglasses pocket at the front for daily errands or long drives accommodates a 16" laptop in case you want to bring the emails on your vacation. We love that there's an internal water bottle pocket, so you don't have to worry about it rolling on the airport floor and losing it forever. It's a perfect bag for really just about anything.

Pros: Lightweight, sleek, carries a great daily camera setup.
