fresh and fun designer tote bags

We are constantly in search of fresh, fun designer tote bags to assist with all a modern lady has to carry; magazines, farmers market fruits and veggies, homework, work, diapers, tools, beach gear...you name it.

This fall we are thrilled to announce the Luddite Collection of Designer Tote Bags from Thomas Paul, a way cool kickback to 'simpler' times, as the totes collection inspired by Luddite (a movement in the early 19th century by a group of textile artists who protested the changes brought to their industry by the Industrial Revolution) illustrates. Delight in the canvas tote bag collection's juxtaposition of the early nineteenth century's tools and today's; i.e., a way cool lap top case featuring a classic typewriter, an MP3 case with a phonograph and our favorite, the Letter Pouch, made of sturdy canvas to mimic an actual envelop and embellished with an 19th century era-inspired stamp.

Also noteworthy is the very versatile, functional Polka Dot Tote Bag in a Pouch by Twos Company, only $9 and available in red, orange and yellow. Love blue? Check out Thomas Paul's Seafarer canvas tote bags styles featuring a nautical-inspired blue designer tote bag for women or men!
