the only totes i currently own are generic kroger ones which definitely serve their purpose & the more totes the better in my book BUT i now have my eye on some cutesy cute ones from a multitude of vendors.

two target totes with cute & clever imprints
i found these on amazon.com, a set of 4 for $18.99. i think each one is adorable, and as a set...shoo! i am for it! i like each color of bag and each imprint.
a bag designer named jenny hurth create bags out of old vinyl & signs. i think they are a perfect "around town" bag. these type of bags seem simple enough to construct but i'm not sure how simple it is to sew vinyl. i'll leave that up to jenny.
i may even add some more tote options after i scour esty.com. check back again to see if there's an update.
how do you all feel about a good tote {the bag kind, not a purse}. for 'em? don't really care? have you found a favorite tote? if so where? have you ever made your own bag or imprint for one? can't wait to hear from you.
have fun being a bag lady. or man. that's amore monday.

I've really been into the reusable bag trend lately as well. I get so sick of all the plastic bags accumulating as I never seem to return them to Kroger for recycling. I posted a while back about a reusable market bag I had sewn from a pattern by Alicia Paulson. I finally purchased more fabric and I will be making three more of these bags soon and I am so excited. I love having a reusable and oh so cute way to carry my groceries home.

And if you are ever interested in trying to sew a few of your own, I high recommend Alicia's pattern!
it's about dang time.
ReplyDeletethat's all i have to say. that and that i have 5 reusable bags. however, 80% of the time, i forget to bring them in to the store and use plastic instead.
stupid.
i took a tote one time...
ReplyDeleteand i never heard the end of it...
i think you know which one i'm talking about...
ate a whoooolllleee ppiiieee, right?!
Just like Shannon said - got 'em but usually forget to take them in! Makes me mad and I question my senility! I don't have any cute ones, just super huge Sams Club bags that if I fill completely up - can't even lift. Not a good plan...I do love the looks of some of the totes out there but am always to cheap to pick up more!
