You see them everywhere, but what is a tote bag exactly? Here is a short, clear answer, plus a look at how our own tote bags are made.
Tote bag meaning
A tote bag is a bag with two parallel handles and one main compartment. The word tote simply means to carry. People use a tote bag for everyday errands, for books and groceries, or as a fashion accessory. Its shape is simple, which is why a tote bag is such a good surface for a bold design.
What are tote bags made of?
Tote bags can be made from many fabrics. Ours are made from 100% polyester in a medium-weight fabric (6.49 oz/yd², 200 g/m²) that is highly durable and suited to everyday use. Inside is a non-woven laminate lining, and the handles are cotton webbing straps.
What makes our tote bags different
Every SIGVE STUDIO tote bag carries an all-over print. The design is applied by dye sublimation, so it covers the whole bag and does not fade. The seams are double-stitched, the handles have a second row of stitching and the boxed corners give the large storage compartment extra room.
Three sizes
You can choose 13x13, 16x16 or 18x18 inches. Read the tote bag size guide to compare them.
