They’re chic and practical, roomy and timeless — totes are the “it bags” of the season. In particular, canvas tote bags are having a major moment. Seen on the arms of Reese Witherspoon, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Sarah Jessica Parker, a canvas tote is the quintessential companion for errands, travel, and everything in between.
Our luxurious beach totes are made with durable canvas and vegan leather and feature splashes of contrasting colored trim. We thoughtfully designed our canvas totes with sturdy bottoms to prevent scuffs and to maintain their shape. Whether you prefer neutrals or bright colors, we have a colorway for every taste. With waterproof lining, these bags are obviously perfect for the pool or beach, but they can truly be used in all seasons. Plus, add a personal touch with our monogram program.
Here are five of our team’s favorite ways to use our canvas totes.
1. Personal Item for Traveling
Flying for work or pleasure? Our totes make the ideal travel bags. Store all your travel necessities — chargers, toiletries, electronics, snacks, water bottles, purse — in one easy-to-reach place. For quick airport and plane maneuvering, you can stack the tote on top of your carry-on suitcase.
2. Pickleball Bag
We love pickleball! Who isn’t playing it these days? Our large canvas totes double as the perfect pickleball bag, providing plenty of space for your paddle, extra pickleballs, court shoes, and more! And they transition seamlessly to your after-the-match breakfast or lunch.
3. Hold-All for Errands
Whether you’re grocery shopping, heading to the wine store, or stopping by the post office, you probably could use an extra set of hands — ahem, our canvas tote bags! They’ll store purchases, books, and toys (for your littles), all in one place. Plus, the tote’s vegan leather handle wraps make it comfortable on your shoulder.
4. Bridge or Mahjong Bag
Is it time for your monthly bridge or mahjong club? Our tote bags are large enough to hold all of your hobby essentials, whether it’s your mahjong tiles, deck of cards, or that bottle of wine you bought, there will be plenty of space. (Plus, we’re certain your stylish canvas bag will get a compliment or two at your next club meeting.)
5. Work Tote
Who said a work tote can’t be functional and chic? Carry your laptop and lunch to work in style using one of our spacious canvas totes. Our pro tip? Store workout clothes and tennis shoes in it, too, for your post-work spin class.
How to Organize Your Canvas Tote
Our favorite tips for optimizing the space in your tote:
● Use zippered pouches, like our matching canvas wristlet, to store small, loose items● Put large items, such as books, laptops, or water bottles, in the tote first
● Use storage cubes to hold clothes or shoes
● Regularly declutter and clean out your bag – this is the tough one!
