German term or phrase: Tote Handtasche

Molti siti in italiano parlano di "borsa tote" (ma trovo attestato di frequente anche "tote bag") , ma non ho capito che tipo di borsa sarebbe e non so se e' opportuno usare un altro termine...

ciao,

borsa shopping

Explanation:
Il produttore per cui lavoro la definisce semplicemente così. Si tratta di una borsa molto capiente solitamente con due manici che appunto dovrebbe servire per lo "shopping", ma in realtà essendo di moda e ormai anche di pelle e altri materiali e non solo di tela, viene utilizzata quotidianamente.

tote bag

Explanation:
Io lo lascerei così, a seconda del contesto (ad esempio, se si tratta di una rivista di moda tipo Vogue, meglio il termine inglese).

borsa portatutto

Explanation:
Giusto per darti una definizione in italiano e visto che ormai non viene usata solo per far la spesa! Comunque sono d'accordissimo con Sandra e gli altri.
