(SPOT.ph) We know you love your no-frill canvas totes, but let's be real, they aren't really fit for sudden downpours. Most totes are more for when the sun is out and shining, but there are some styles that can do both. You can still rock your faves and not be worried when the rain suddenly pours, as it usually does in the Philippines around this time. We list down the ones that are both stylish and water-resistant, so you can carry your tote bag no matter the season.
