Whether she is a minimalist or a clutter hound, they will always use totes. Make her a couple in her college colors and with a removable insert in the bottom. I would make 2 sizes, but both large enough to use for groceries. The removable bottom makes them easy to throw in the wash but also easy to roll up and keep in a purse or glove box of the car. With more and more places not allowing plastic bags and kids being more conscience of plastic, everyone can use large totes.
