PRETTY THINGS: tote bags

09/07/2014

My daily bag is most definitely a canvas tote.  Whether you need to bring just your daily necessities, do some groceries on the way home or bring an extra sweater: it always fits and it’s never too bulky.  There’s just one problem: they don’t last a very long time.  Now that my favorite tote bag (I’m talking about the white version of the “my bauhaus is better than yours” tote from this post, which already replaced the black version) has  developed holes big enough for my keys to fit through, it’s time to think about replacement.  I’ve been keeping an eye out for a pretty substitute and I’ve gathered my finds here.  Number 2 is probably my favorite, although I have a hard time picking just one.  (Especially when I look back at this post from two years ago, where number 4 and number 6 caught my attention again.)   Which one would you pick?  (And feel free to share if you found other great designs!)

1. Sow + harvest tote from Alle Dagen Honger, available here.
2. Depeapa’s graphic print tote, available at My Ex Boyfriend (yes, at that shop with the beautiful vintage furniture!) or on etsy.
3. Tote with a design by Lucienne Day as marketing for an exhibition at the twentytwentyone showroom.  (source)
4. Collage artist Sammy Slabbinck is selling tote bags (and t-shirts, phone cases, prints, etc.) with his prints here.  You might recognize this one (my favorite) from this post on pretty collages.
5. Iconic design tote, also available in white, from Gasagoso.
6. Tote with a chair print, available here.
7. Oh la la, available here.
8. Totes are the perfect way to advertise your taste in music, especially when the band’s design is as good as their music.  This one is by Intergalactic Lovers and is available here.
