A great work tote should do more than carry your things. It should support your lifestyle. At SCOUT, we design with real life in mind. That means every tote needs to check the boxes for structure, strength, and style.
Function starts with capacity. Our large totes are built to fit everything from a laptop and files to a water bottle and a change of shoes. Interior compartments and exterior pockets help keep it all in place, so you’re not digging for your keys at the bottom of your bag.
Structure matters too. A flimsy bag won’t stand up on its own or hold its shape, which is why our tote bags are designed to stay upright. This makes packing and unpacking quicker and more efficient, whether you're at your desk or heading to a meeting.
And of course, materials matter. SCOUT totes are lightweight, durable, and wipe clean in seconds. Life is messy, but your bag doesn’t have to be.
True function is when your tote works as hard as you do.
Durable, Stylish, And Spacious With SCOUT’s Secret Sauce
At SCOUT, we don’t believe you should have to choose between looking good and getting things done. Every bag we make is built around a simple idea: pretty utility. Fashion meets function, without compromise.
Our totes are crafted to withstand real life. They are strong enough to handle a full day of work essentials, stylish enough to carry into a client meeting, and light enough to grab and go without hesitation.
Durability is in the details. Reinforced seams, structured bottoms, and easy-clean materials mean you can count on your bag every day. You will not find sagging sides or stained interiors.
Your bag should bring a little joy. That is where our signature patterns come in. Designed in-house and refreshed each season, they let you express your style while keeping everything in order. Bold, bright, or neutral, there is a look for every workday mood.
We make bags that multitask, just like you.

Why SCOUT Bags Are Built To Last
When you rely on your tote every day, it cannot just look good; it has to hold up under pressure. SCOUT bags are designed with hardworking women in mind. Here’s what makes them a dependable choice for the long haul:
Lightweight But Strong
SCOUT bags are built from durable, structured materials that feel light in your hand but handle heavy loads with ease. This balance makes them perfect for commuting, traveling, or hauling everything you need without weighing you down.
Handles That Hold Up
Every tote features reinforced straps that have been tested for both strength and comfort. Whether you’re carrying by hand or over your shoulder, you can trust that the handles won’t fray, snap or slip when your bag is full.
Structured To Stay Upright
No more collapsing bags or digging through a pile of items. SCOUT totes are designed to hold their shape, which means they sit upright at your desk, in your car, or under a café table, always ready for what’s next.
Easy To Clean, Every Time
Life gets messy, and that is okay. SCOUT bags are made to wipe clean in seconds with just a cloth. From coffee spills to crushed snacks, your tote stays fresh with minimal effort.
How To Style Your SCOUT Tote For Workdays That Don’t Quit
Your work tote should not only carry what you need but also complement your personal style. Here’s how to make SCOUT bags work with your wardrobe, from Monday meetings to after-hours errands:
Keep It Classic With Neutrals
Patterns like Fleetwood Black or Nantucket Navy pair effortlessly with your go-to workwear. Whether you're in slacks, denim, or business casual, these styles deliver polish without feeling too buttoned-up. They’re easy to match and always look intentional.
Make A Statement With Bold Prints
When you want your bag to do the talking, reach for a seasonal pattern or something with vibrant color. SCOUT’s limited-edition prints are designed to stand out while still being practical for daily use. They turn errands, meetings, and travel into moments to show off your personality.
Add Texture With Fabric Variety
Our structured bags have just the right amount of shine and structure to elevate any outfit. Whether you pair it with sneakers or heels, a SCOUT tote brings balance to your look by combining utility with design.
Coordinate With Accessories
Pair your tote with a matching Kate Wristlet for grab-and-go ease or a Packin' Heat makeup bag inside for midday touch-ups. A Nooner Lunch Box is also a convenient addition to any large tote bag, offering prime storage for lunch and beyond.
Coordinated accessories not only keep things tidy but also bring your style full circle.
Totes That Go Beyond The Office
A SCOUT work tote does not clock out at five. These bags are made to move through every part of your day, from your commute to your kid’s soccer game to a weekend getaway. Here’s how they keep up when the office isn’t on the agenda:
From Office To Errands
With a large tote like the Original Deano Tote Large, you can transition seamlessly from your desk to the grocery store. Toss in your shopping list, reusable pouches, and water bottle, and you are out the door without needing a second bag.
From Meetings To The Gym
Early meeting, late pilates class? No problem. SCOUT bags are roomy enough to fit your change of clothes and sneakers alongside your laptop and planner. Their wipe-clean interiors also make post-gym cleanup quick and stress-free.
From Workday To Weekend
Some days blur into nights and roll right into the weekend. Whether you are packing for a quick overnight trip or heading to the farmer’s market, our bags are built to haul it all without breaking stride or style.
