A bag that fits all the on the go essentials and has several different compartments to keep things organised, while still looking chic. Totes come in several sizes, designs, materials and fabrics and there is a tote for every woman’s needs. In today’s time, tote bags have become quite the necessary accessory due to their simple versatility and functionality of use.
These tote bags can easily be customised and personalised to showcase who you are or be bought from several designers to make an impactful statement while still taking care of the environment. These bags can be dressed up with more formal outfits or down depending on the event. Available in a range of sizes in high quality material, a canvas bag can be used for a wide variety of occasions.
As a working woman, finding the right sized bag can sometime be frustrating and one ends up carrying multiple bags to the office, creating a complicated system to carry workout wear, tech devices, a packed lunch basket, and cosmetics. Many woman end up abandoning any effort to look elegant and dainty on their commute. They often turn to men’s bag brands for functionality, carrying sturdy backpacks or laptop bags, and have a separate, fancier bag for smaller items.
What is a tote bag?
A tote is a large bag which can be used for carrying (or toting) lots of things. A bag with large openings on the top for maximum space and ease; a tote bag, is any bag of any size that lacks fasteners other than a pair of parallel handles on both the sides to hold the bag with. The main purpose of a tote bag is to serve as an easy carryall in one, especially during those busy days spent doing many activities back to back. A canvas tote bag, however, is any tote bag made from the good quality, fabric material woven out of cotton, leather or linen.
Tote bags were first invented in the 17th century, but the term “tote”, which means “to carry”, did not become common until the late 1900’s. Particularly in the United States of America tote bags did not reach their popularity until the 1944, when one of the well known apparel company released their now popular Boat Bag. The popular Boat Bag continues to be made from a durable canvas material or faux leather, which has withstood the test of time and is a necessity in everyone’s wardrobe.
