Thinking of what is a tote bag?
“Tote” means “to carry” and it has been designed as a large unfastened bag, mostly made out of canvas with two handles. Such kinds of bags are used especially to carry things around while shopping or travelling.
Tote bags started being in vogue right during the 60s hippy movement when bags were unstructured, easily customizable and overall unisex.
It is no wonder that there are myriad of fashionable bags available today; but tote bags are highly in demand due to its durability, style and convenience.
Moreover, there are no interior or exterior pockets due to which the exterior portion of the bag looks extremely smooth.
The interior portion of the tote bag is devoid of any compartments or pockets. However, one can customize as per their preference by placing dividers, zippers and pouches to give the consumer more organization.
As far as design of the bag is concerned, usually a tote bag is square or rectangle in appearance with handles on each side of the bag making it easier to fit under your arm, but short enough to be carried without dragging on the ground.
Tote bag manufacturers use canvas material for making these bags, as it is light, eco-friendly and more easy to clean.
Canvas is the most durable material preferred over nylon because of its durability and its long lasting quality. Nylon though a lighter fabric like canvas fades easily.
Customized tote bags are gaining immense popularity today and one can even have the monogram of their company’s logo, or some quotes on it. In other ways, it helps in promoting brand identity and awareness.
Some of the grocery and retail chain outlets sell these bags, made out of recycled cloth materials, as alternative to plastics for instilling environmental awareness in them.
Therefore, tote bags are absolutely fashionable and convenient whether you are hitting the beach or shopping around town.
