Must-have Gen Z tote bags for your Wardrobe in 2025

Okay, let’s settle this once and for all: tote bags aren’t just bags for Gen Zs. They’re an extension of our personality. A graphic tote bag is a fashion accessory every gen Z wants in their wardrobe. And I am not exaggerating!

Almost every celebrity has flaunted an oversized tote bag in recent years. A large tote bag is more than just a style statement now.

• What’s printed on a shoulder bag? A whole personality.
• Where you take them? A lifestyle.
• What outfit do you pair them with? Your style becomes talk of the town.

Think about it. You’re heading out, stuffing in your water bottle, journal, lip balm, and your emotional baggage (obviously).

A large tote bag with a bold print or pattern doesn’t judge. It just holds everything together, like that one friend who always has gum and a backup charger.

I’ve been collecting tote bags for my love since 2020 (even before they were not fad). But through my adventures, I came across some prints and bags that made her smile. So, I am sharing the best ones that can match your aesthetics and vibe here.

Spacious Gen Z Tote Bags with Premium Prints

If you’re still carrying that one boring casual tote bag they gave you at an event three years ago, babe, we need to talk.

Here are seven hobo tote bags that you must have in your wardrobe. These are fit for any occasion or situation, and trust me, you’ll thank yourself when others ask you about the unique tote bag print.

(Think of the vibes your Gram will have with pictures of these hanging on your shoulder).

More Gen Z Tote Bags for Your Wardrobe

1. The ‘Self-Care Checklist’ Tote Bag – Perfect Gen Z Tote Bag… Because Priorities

Let’s be honest, we all say  we’re prioritizing self-care, but do we actually? This bag is here to remind you—hydrate, read a book, and maybe get some sleep (yes, doomscrolling at 2 AM doesn’t count). Perfect for casual outings, solo trips, or birthday bashes or when you’re trying to be your best self but still debating ordering fries.

This bag is like that one friend who reminds you to drink water, get some sleep, and maybe not survive solely on iced coffee. (No promises, though.)

It’s the perfect bag for the days when you’re romanticizing your life: buying fresh flowers (you can put your flower bouquet in it for the perfect story), cafe hopping matcha, journaling about how this year is gonna be different. Or, you know, when you’re just hauling snacks, a hoodie, and your last bit of motivation to class.

Either way, this tote is better than those boring bags for women. You can even make a meme out of this, or simply remind yourself about:

✅ Good sleep (or at least try).
✅ Meditate (overthinking counts, right?).
✅ Exercise (does running late count?).
✅ Read a book (or pretend to while scrolling Instagram/Snapchat).

Carry this hobo bag like a reminder: You got this (or you will, eventually).

I know someone from my neighborhood who took this bag for a casual outing in Udaipur. She put an Instagram reel later, and her comments were filled with appreciation about how beautiful it paired with her Udaipur outfit.

2. The #GenZ Tote Bag – For the Ones Who Just Get It

Oversized headphones? Check. Effortlessly cool energy? Double check. This stylish tote is basically an aesthetic mood board.

Whether you’re zoning out in a café, walking to class, or pretending to listen to a podcast, this bag says I have a vibe (without you having to explain a thing.)

But don't take it for just a fancy handbag to hang on your shoulder. It got one-of-a-kind functional features, too. I mean which crossbody bag or girls tote can promise being waterproof and organized at the same time (without being bulky and boring)?

We all know that person, you know, the one who always has their headphones on, deep in thought, looking effortlessly cool. If that’s you, this is your tote. And if you've got a friend, this is the perfect birthday gift for her.

Matlab, I can't think of a reason why you won't gift this to her.

Perfect for silent main character moments, walking through the city with a curated playlist, or zoning out while pretending to read in a coffee shop. It gives mysterious, artistic energy while subtly saying, “I am emotionally unavailable, but in an intriguing way.”

It's a mix of practicality and vibe, in a good way. Also, it pairs perfectly with an oversized sweater, a messy bun, and that one book you’ve been meaning to finish but keep putting down after two pages. Just saying.

3. Fox Gen Z Tote Bag – Because Being Cute With an Attitude is Always Fun!

If this shopper bag were a person, it would be my friend who’s adorable but also super sarcastic. You also have one, I know. The pattern with little fox, the glasses, the “Huun na mai cute” (Yes, I am cute, deal with it) energy is giving main character, vibes and I love this bag for the same reason.

It says, "Some people are adorable. Some people are a menace to society. And then there’s you-both", in a good way. Perfectly exclusive and spacious tote bag you won't find on Zudio or the street/flea markets.

This bag is something I made exclusively for a collection for Indian girls who want to appear fashionable, but not messy. It has inside compartments, a long strap, a key holder, and everything you need for the perfect day out.

You can use this bag to carry books, snacks, and all your life’s questionable decisions. Bonus points if you pair it with round glasses and a slight smirk (commit to the bit).

The Avocado Bag – Versatile Gen Z Tote Bag for the Fashionable Yet Bubbly Ones

A happy avocado with the words “Smile, it costs nothing”? Tell me that doesn’t make you feel at least a little warm inside. It’s the perfect reminder that even when life is chaotic, you can still be a wholesome little bean.

It’s giving wholesome, plant-parent, probably has a sunset lamp in their room energy. A smiling avocado is the kind of gentle, happy energy we all need more of.

And if you're thinking about it's price in India, well, it's less than the cafe date you're planning for next month 😀 :D.

Take this tote when you’re out running errands, meeting a friend for brunch, or just needing a lil’ reminder that life isn’t all chaos. Also, let’s be real, you’re probably the friend who always says, “text me when you get home.” So, maybe get this now.

I gifted it to one of my nieces who lives in her 'delulu' world (or whatever you call it now). She carries it everywhere. Her friends say, it fits her 'vibe check' and is better than the canvas tote bags they bought from Zudio.

Tote Bag for Shopping Paglus – Because Impulsiveness is Always in Fashion

Look, we’ve all been there. You went out for one brand and came back with everything but that thing from the brand.

This tote bag for GenZ owns up to it. Carry it while shopping, and maybe, just maybe, it’ll make the damage to your bank account feel slightly more justified.

This tote is self-awareness in bag form. It knows you don’t need another tote bag, but hey, you’re already here. So, rather buy it, because it will come with less guilt than buying that stupid leather bag , you saw on feed last year.

The fabric is super soft, the strap is longer than usual, there's ample storage with waterproof lining , plus there is a hoop inside for all keyrings. It's a combination of latest trends, convenience, and your inner thoughts.

Use it as your designated shopping bag, or as a warning to others: Yes, I’m walking into this store. No, I will not be responsible with my money.

Pro tip: Bring this bag when you go thrifting. It gives you an official excuse when someone asks why you bought a vintage jacket in July.
