Fall style is all about easy layers and totes that tie it together. Pick the silhouette that matches your day: the open‑top Original Deano for weekend hauls due to its expansive size. Then dial in your palette with our three go‑to stories: warm neutrals, harvest hues, and graphic patterns, to pair with denim, trenches, and chunky knits.
Effortless Neutrals
Solid navy and solid black anchor any fall wardrobe with timeless versatility. Pair a neutral tote with denim, knits, or tailored trousers, adding stripes or checks for subtle interest.
Harvest Hues
Think deep greens, persimmon oranges, and vineyard reds. Pick a pattern that nods to the season, then let your tote pop against cream sweaters and dark denim. It’s a quick way to make everyday outfits feel festive.
Graphic Patterns
Checks, houndstooth vibes, and geometric prints all give a fall vibe. A boldly patterned tote does the talking when the rest of your outfit is off‑duty. Keep the rest simple and let your bag be the statement.
Ways To Use Your Fall Tote
Fall is busy, in the best way. Your tote should flex from sunrise coffee runs to late‑night game days without missing a beat. Ours are designed to stand open while you pack, carry comfortably on the shoulder, and wipe clean when life gets messy. Whether you’re hauling produce, packing for the bleachers, or sprinting between meetings, there’s a SCOUT silhouette that does the job beautifully.
Below, we’ve turned our favorite use cases into quick styling and packing guides. Use them to choose the right size, pocket layout, and print for your day. We’ve linked best‑match styles so you can click straight to the tote that fits your fall.
Farmer’s Market Companion
Reach for the roomy, stand‑up Original Deano or square‑based Bagette Market Tote. The structured bottoms keep apples and flowers upright, and the wipe‑clean finish lets you set it down without worry. Add a Twiggy Pouch to corral receipts and small goods.
Game‑Day Hauler
Pocketed styles are the MVP here. Try the Uptown Pocket Tote or browse all of our Pocket Tote Bags for exterior slip pockets that keep gloves and tickets handy. Pack layers, snacks, and stadium cushions in the main compartment; the breakaway zipper gives you open‑top access when you need it, security when you don’t.
Commute Carryall
When the laptop’s coming along, go structured with the large Ben Pocket Tote. Files and notebooks stay pristine, chargers tuck into the interior zip pocket, and your wallet/ID slips into exterior pockets for fast entry scans. It stands up neatly under your desk and on train seats.
Weekend Getaway
For last‑minute overnights, a spacious open‑top like Original Deano makes packing quick. Use a Packin' Heat Toiletry Bag for cosmetics and a Little Mouth Makeup Bag for cords and adapters. Everything folds flat when you’re home for easy and fast storage.
Library Run
Hardcovers, notebooks, and tablets travel best in structured totes. The Original Deano’s upright shape keeps spines straight, and exterior pockets on styles from our Pocket Tote Bags collection are perfect for a card case and phone. Consider adding an IDKase Card Holder to clip your card, where you’ll always find it.
Tailgate Setup
Choose a pocketed carryall like the Uptown Pocket Tote so napkins, utensils, and bottle openers each have a home. The sturdy base holds chips and drinks without tipping. Wipe clean after easy use, and you’re ready for next week. If you want to keep your snacks and drinks cool, we also offer cooler bags that will make sure your tailgate is as refreshing as possible.
Pumpkin Patch Helper
Mud? Hay? No problem. Our tote bags shrug off dirt and wipe clean fast. Load mini pumpkins, cider donuts, scarves, and gloves. Trust us, everything finds a place in one of our handy totes.
Gym‑To‑Desk
Keep shoes on the bottom, then stack clothes and a notebook on top. Slip a water bottle into an exterior pocket on a style from our Pocket Tote Bags collection, and stash small items in a Packin' Heat Toiletry Bag. If lunch is coming with you, tuck it in a Nooner Lunch Bag.
Gift‑Giving Hero
Wrap the present in a present. Yep, you guessed it, our totes can double as the gift bag and the present. Talk about the perfect combo! Choose a classic print or school‑spirit colorway tote, then add personalization on compatible styles for a thoughtful touch. Slip a Little Mouth Makeup Bag or IDKase inside to complete the set.
Car Organizer
Keep a fall tote bag handy in the trunk for returns, pickups, and sideline snacks. The structured base prevents tipping, and everything folds flat when not in use. It’s the easiest way to stay ready for whatever the day brings.

Best For Everyday & Everything: Original Deano
Our #1 best‑selling Original Deano open‑top tote stands tall with a stable, burst‑proof bottom that won’t slump in the trunk. It’s roomy, lightweight, and folds flat when the weekend winds down. Grab it for farmer’s markets, practice pickups, and impromptu leaf‑peeping.
Best For Pocket Lovers: Uptown Pocket Tote (Medium)
The Uptown Pocket Tote features four exterior pockets to keep your phone, keys, gloves, and hand sanitizer at the ready, plus an interior zip pocket for small essentials. The breakaway zipper lets you choose zip‑top security or open‑top access on the fly. Structured sides stand up while you pack.

Love compartments? The Rocket Pocket Tote is a multi‑pocket tote that has exterior pockets for bottles and snacks, plus an inside zipper pocket that makes busy days easier. Two sets of straps/handles allow you to carry it with your hands or over your shoulder, and a sturdy base keep everything upright.
Best For Work & School: Ben Pocket Tote (Large)
When your day involves a laptop, notebooks, and a change of shoes, the Ben Pocket Tote delivers. Multiple exterior pockets separate tech from snacks, and an interior zip pocket secures the small stuff. It stands open while you pack and stays polished all day.
Best For Markets & Tailgates: Bagette Market Tote

How We Build A Better Tote For Fall
We obsess over the details that matter in real life: wipe‑clean finishes, stand‑up bases that won’t tip in the trunk, and reinforced handles that stay comfortable over sweaters and coats. Every style is thoughtfully engineered to be lightweight yet durable, with smart pockets and zip options so your tote works just as hard on a rainy commute as it does at the pumpkin patch.
All‑Weather Performance
Our tough, all‑weather woven exterior shrugs off slush, rain, and spills. When life happens (muddy orchards, pumpkin‑spice mishaps), just wipe the surface clean with a damp cloth or disinfecting wipe and you’re back in business. Inside and out, our totes are made for real life—no babying required.
Structure Where It Matters
Many of our totes are thoughtfully engineered with a stable, burst‑proof bottom so they stand open while you pack and won’t tip in the trunk. Reinforced, wrapped handles sit comfortably on the shoulder. Breakaway or full‑zip tops let you choose open‑tote access or extra security when the weather turns.
Lightweight By Design
We obsess over carry comfort. Our large workhorses like the Original Deano and the Ben Pocket Tote haul a lot without weighing you down, and they fold flat between adventures for easy closet or car storage.
Personalize Your Fall Tote
Make it yours with monogramming on many of our best‑sellers. Choose a font and thread color to match your fall palette, and we’ll stitch it up just for you. Pro tip: Allow a little extra processing time when you personalize. It's worth it for the custom touch.
Care & Cleaning For Autumn Weather
Our totes are built for real life. After a rainy or muddy day, simply wipe the exterior and interior with a damp cloth (a disinfecting wipe works for quick cleanups), then air or towel dry. Leaves, coffee drips, and pumpkin‑patch dust don’t stand a chance.
For routine refreshes, shake out crumbs, spot‑clean, and let the bag dry fully before storing. Stash totes folded flat in an entry closet or keep a spare in your trunk for last‑minute errands.
