June 21, 2016

Last weekend there were strawberries, asparagus, and sunflowers at the farmers’ market. While I stuffed my goodies unceremoniously into a backpack, I couldn’t help but wish I had a beautiful straw market tote like the ones my friends in Paris always carry.

If you’ve got similar yearnings, here’s a roundup of 10 French market totes, perfect for carting home bundles of fresh flowers and wedges of stinky cheese.
