7 Reasons Why You Need a Tote Bag

A girl can never have too many bags
A tote bag is the most versatile bag you will ever own. There are hundreds of uses for a good tote bag, a large bag that you can take anywhere and fit anything into, and every woman should have at least one in their collection.

A tote bag is often an unfastened bag with sturdy handles, but they come in a variety of designs and sizes. Some totes have several compartments and some have just one, but whichever style you choose you are sure to find plenty of use for it.

1, Fashion Accessory: Tote bags are fashionable as well as functional. There are many quality, leather tote bags available that look stylish and make great everyday handbags. You can buy gorgeous tote bags with designer labels, you can get good quality totes from bag shops, shoe shops, boutiques and accessory stores or you can buy canvas or material totes from department stores, supermarkets or market stalls.

2. Large Size: Tote bags are big and roomy and can hold loads of stuff. You can fit everything that you will need for a day at work or play into a tote bag and still have room for more.

3. Versatility: Tote bags have a million uses. They can be used as shopping bags, gym bags, work bags, beach bags, overnight bags, school or uni bags, knitting bags, laptop bags and have many more uses.

4. Variations: There are many different versions of tote bags, to suit all your needs. They are available in materials such as leather or leather-look, fabric or canvas and they are made in different colors or patterns. You can even make your own, if you're crafty. They come in slightly different sizes and styles but tote bags have basically all the same design.

5. Durability: Tote bags are very durable and long lasting, if taken care of they will last you for years and years.

6. Re-Usability: Tote bags, no matter what the size or style, can be re-used again and again. Tote bags are not designed for anything specific so you can use them for anything you choose.

7. Great Gift Idea: A good quality tote bag makes an excellent gift, mainly because they have many uses and will last for a long time. Perhaps consider buying a nice leather one or, if you can afford it, a designer bag. Another good gift idea is to use material or canvas tote bags as gift bags, they are sturdier than paper ones and can be re-used.

When buying a tote bag you have to consider what you will mainly use it for. If you plan to use it as a handbag or work bag you will probably want a leather one but if you intend to use it as a shopping bag then perhaps you would prefer a canvas bag.

These are just some of the reasons why you need at least one tote bag and there are probably many more. Remember a girl can never have too many bags.

Different Materials for a Tote
Canvas
This is one of the heaviest kinds of material that can be used. It is very durable.

Cotton
Cotton is a more lightweight material than canvas is. Like canvas, it can be machine washed.

Polypropylene
This is a very lightweight material. A tote made of polypropylene can easily be cleaned by wiping it off with a damp cloth.

Leather
Leather can be wiped clean. It gives a look of luxury to a tote. Totes made of different kinds of leather are available, depending on the look the buyer wants.

Considerations for Buying the Right Tote
Before purchasing any kind of tote, it is important that the buyer knows what kind of bag best suits his or her needs. As noted, there are some totes specifically designed for certain activities, like going to the gym, but others can be used for different activities. Some things to consider are what the bag will be used for, what size of bag is needed, how it closes, and what material it is made of.

Use
In order to know what kind of tote to purchase, the buyer will have to know what she will be using it for. As noted above, some totes used for certain purposes, such as the gym, are naturally bigger. Not only will how the bag is used affect the size of the tote that should be purchased, but it will also influence other elements of the bag such as the type of closure and materials used. If the buyer needs a bag for carrying many small items, such as a cell phone, pens, keys, and wallet, it is good to have a tote with various smaller pockets to separate items and keep them safe.

Size
Size is also an important factor when choosing a tote because the bag’s spaciousness is one of its most important features. Before deciding on a tote, the buyer should determine how many items she carries regularly and check the size of her other bags. A tote that is too small will not be of much use, but a woman also does not want to be lugging around a huge bag, especially one that only has a few items in it.

Closure
Like other bags, totes have a variety of closure methods, such as zippers, ties, magnetic buttons, or other clasps. If the buyer wants a bag that closes completely, a zipper is a good idea. Some bags have no closure at all, which may work for bags such as beach totes. However, if the buyer will be using the tote on a daily basis and carrying valuables such as a wallet and cell phone, it is probably a good idea to get a bag that closes up in order to protect their valuables.

Different Materials
One of the most important factors in choosing a tote is the material, because this will affect the bag’s style and durability. The first totes were made out of canvas, but today’s bags are made of a variety of materials, such as cotton, polypropylene, and even leather. The choice of material will have to depend on the user’s taste and style as well as the purpose of the bag. A beach tote made of leather will probably get ruined pretty quickly.

Types of Tote Bags
Tote bags have evolved over the years, and now there are many different types of tote bags that buyers can choose from. This includes the classic canvas tote bags. It was the first type of tote bag to become popular. There is also a variety of luxury tote bags available. It is possible to find tote bags for the beach, totes for the gym, as well as ones for shopping and ones specifically for new mothers. With all the types available, it may be somewhat overwhelming to select a tote bag.

Canvas Tote Bags
Canvas tote bags have been popular for many years due to their sturdiness and practicality. Although canvas may not be the most stylish material for a bag, these bags have been made popular by a number of famous companies, such as L.L. Bean. Even with newer styles of tote bags on the market, canvas totes are still a popular choice. Some are also treated to resist moisture and mold, so they last even longer.

Luxury Tote Bags
Although a buyer may think of a tote as a casual bag, luxury tote bags are also available. These often come from the top designers. This kind of tote bag can be used as a purse for going to work or as a travel bag depending on its size and features. A luxury bag may be made of some type of plastic or leather. Since these are quality bags, they may be used for work or more formal occasions. Luxury totes may also have more sophisticated designs with various compartments. There are zippered luxury tote bags and ones with embellishments such as buckles or tassels.

Beach Tote Bags
Totes made to be used at the beach are usually made from materials such as straw, plastic, nylon, and canvas. These materials are used in order to resist the elements the bags will encounter at the beach such as heat, sand, and water. This kind of tote is usually large and fairly simple in design, but it is also often colorful and bright, which makes this style perfect as a beach accessory. A beach tote needs to be big enough to carry many items, including beach towels, sunscreen, sunglasses, clothes, and extra items. This kind of tote probably does not have a lot of pockets or other features. These are usually inexpensive bags as there is always the possibility of ruining it or losing it at the beach.

Mini Tote Bags
The purpose of a tote bag is to be able to carry many things, so some buyers might find the idea of a mini tote a bit odd. However, this tote can come in handy when one needs a bag designed for practicality, but smaller than the average tote. These smaller totes may have a number of pockets or compartments and could be well suited for more formal occasions or as a bag for work.

Sports Tote Bags
A tote bag can be a great way to store clothes, shoes, and a water bottle when heading to the gym. A sports tote bag is usually larger than other types of tote bags because it needs to carry more things. Additionally, they tend to be made of sturdy materials to handle the wear and tear these totes will receive. These are produced by a lot of sports attire brands and come in a variety of styles. Often these totes have various compartments for different gear.

Other Tote Bags
There are also a number of other types of tote bags on the market including padded ones to hold laptops or bigger ones designed for traveling. Some of the more common ones are shopping bags and diaper totes.

Shopping Bags
One of the reasons totes first became popular is because they could be used for shopping. Since more people are becoming concerned about the environment, there is a greater emphasis on using reusable bags instead of disposable plastic ones. Many people own at least several of these bags. These shopping bags usually have a simple design without any pockets or extra compartments. However, they also come in a variety of colors and designs, which makes them very interesting.

Diaper Totes
These totes are very useful for new mothers to have. A diaper tote allows parents to store things for a baby, such as diapers, formula, bibs, baby bottles, the baby’s favorite toys, and anything else needed on the go. Many diaper totes today are very stylish and come in a variety of styles and designs. Some look more like fashionable purses than diaper bags, making them fun to carry around.

Tote Bag
A tote bag is a large and often unfastened bag with parallel handles that emerge from the sides of its pouch.

Description
The archetypal tote is made of sturdy cloth, perhaps with thick leather at its handles or bottom; leather versions often have a pebbled surface. Common fabrics include heavy canvas, possibly dyed, or treated to resist moisture and mold. Jute is another traditional material, though less popular. In recent decades, heavy nylon and other easy-care synthetics have become common, although these may degrade with prolonged sun-exposure. Many of today's inexpensive or free totes are often made from recycled matter, from minimally-processed natural fibers, or from byproducts of processes that refine organic materials.

History
The term tote or tate, meaning "to carry", can be traced back to the 17th century but was not used to describe bags until 1900. However, the tote bag craze in the United States began in the 1940s with the release of L.L. Bean's Boat Bag in 1944. Because they were easier than carrying luggage, most people opted for using tote bags. During the 1950s, tote bags began to enter into the main culture. Women primarily utilized them as practical handheld bags because they didn't require much care. It wasn't until the 1960s when the tote bag embraced personal style. Bonnie Cohen released her own line of tote bags called Cashin Carry Tote Bags which combined style and functionality. In the 1990s, Kate Spade ultimately transformed how American culture embraced tote bags when she began carrying them as fashion bags. Today, fashion lovers and consumers can find tote bags in a variety of decorations and themes.
