5 Good Totes for the Art Student

If anyone's lugging weight around campus, it is the art student. A creative learner needs a roomy and functional carryall, but also one that's efficiently cool and maybe a stand-out. We look for totes that are functional over trend and of course one that fits a day’s worth of tools and essentials.
