Does this tote look familiar? It should. 

Girls have been carrying these handbags in Chicago since fall and I recently saw more when I visited L.A. last week.

Made out of faux leather, this large tote is reversible, simple and has a magnetic closure. This particular style has become so popular that almost every major retailer offers some version of it.

I bought one from Nordstrom for a friend, but other stores like Akira, Forever 21 and Anthropologie carry them, too.  Retailers may vary in which colors they offer this handbag in, but other than that, they are virtually identical. I purchased mine at Urban Outfitters. It has an outside pocket and a label tassel, but it's very much the same tote.

It's also been good to me. It holds all my belongings that I carry on a daily basis and rests on my shoulder comfortably, making it a great bag to travel with.

My only complaint: There are no inside pockets, which makes it hard to find things like my phone, keys and other small items when I just drop them in there.
