Canvas totes are durable, lightweight, and affordable, but they're often lacking in the style department. Hayden-Harnett do their best to dress up this summer favorite with the Erol.

Take one traditional canvas tote in natural white, navy blue, or sun yellow. Add a little tan leather and an ordinary canvas bag gets interesting. The leather accents give the purse a little extra sophistication. It makes the tote just as appropriate for a trip to the pool or a café lunch with the girls.

The open top design will worry many security-conscious fashionistas, but it does make it easy to access your belongings. A large zippered pocket offers a safe space for storing your cell phone and loose change.

The cloth straps feel fantastic in your hands, but only the most petite women will be able to sling them over their shoulder. A little extra length could have made these handles so much more functional.

At $155 this isn't the most expensive handbag around, but it still seems a little pricy compared to the Bitten canvas tote.
