Book club is intimate and unhurried — your bag should carry the novel and feel as cozy as the conversation.
A Roomy Book Tote
A commuter tote fits a hardback with room for notes. The totes in woven fabric are the reader's pick.
A Small Pouch for the Rest
A mini clutch holds card and lip balm. The clutches in a small scale tuck beside the book.
The Rule
Pro tip: book club is a tote moment — size it for the book, not the outfit. Soft and roomy beats structured and small.
Shop the reader totes.
