Canvas totes have been all the rage lately, and it’s easy to see why. They’re quite practical—the material’s durable and resilient, they’re versatile, and you can use them for hauling groceries or going to work.
Celebs are embracing the trend, too. Earlier this month, Kristen Bell stepped out with her own personalized piece from BaubleBar. The best part? The celeb-approved custom accessory won't cost you a ton of money. In fact, her exact tote—the Alpha Custom Tote from BaubleBar—is on sale for $56 right now (25% off its original price).
What I love most is that you can customize every piece of it, from your chosen color to your initials to the size (you can choose from small, medium, or large). It even comes with stitched lining and a gold-toned snap closure and D-ring, so you can throw on a cute bag charm. Just note that you’ll need to leave extra time for customization (at least three weeks).
I’ve been a fan of BaubleBar for a decade, thanks to style YouTubers putting me on to it back in the day. I’m especially a fan of the brand’s custom options and quickness to adapt to jewelry trends. But don’t just take my word for it—our pros at the Good Housekeeping Institute also named BaubleBar one of the best affordable jewelry brands. “If you own tons of jewelry and like to play around with jewelry for fun, BaubleBar is a good option,” says Emma Seymour, associate director of the Textiles Lab.
And Kristen Bell is not the only celeb spotted with the bag; actress Emma Roberts and influencer Alix Earle are also reported fans; consider me influenced. I’m all about bringing this style era back, and I definitely have room for a monogrammed canvas tote in my collection.
