It is one of the oldest surviving bag types ever designed due to its convenience. The word tote can be traced from a 17th-century word which means “to carry”. It gained popularity in the 1940s when a US brand, LL Bean, introduced it to the market to be used as an ice carrier.

Today, we see that tote bags are now multipurpose fashion bags that most ladies and gents are trying to add to their closets.

And, if you need more essentials reasons as to why you should buy one, here are our pointers for you:

Tote bags are one of the bags that can be easily adjusted when it comes to sizing. The initial standard size of a tote bag is actually 13 x 15 inches, and its shape is book-type square.

However, some designers played with their creativity to make the tote bag smaller than the standard making it a good option as a fashion statement. Christy Ng’s Totes has a regular-sized tote with the size of 5.5” width x 13” length x 15” height, and its mini version is at 4.74” width x 10” length x 8.8” height.

Unlike other bags with multiple dividers and pockets, a tote bag is simply described as a blank bag. It doesn’t have pockets or dividers to limit what items can fit inside! A standard tote bag can accommodate a 15” laptop, a tablet, a smartphone, and wallets!

Due to its open space inside, you can have the freedom on how you can put in your gadgets and accessories without the hassle of think if they’ll fit in the side due to dividers. The only downfall about this perk is that your stuff might get mixed up inside.

Totes are one of the most earth-friendly bags out there. It’s a perfect alternative if you aren’t a fan of the bag and uses materials that aren’t earth-friendly and cruelty-free.

Fortunately, Christy Ng’s Tote Bags are made with ethically sourced materials. The Germaine Oblong Tote Bag is also made with premium vegan leather material, so it’s very eco-friendly!
