Fashion Tote Bags
From LoveToKnow Handbags
Running around doing errands doesn’t mean you have to be frumpy – there are plenty of fashion tote bags to keep you stylish and snazzy as you go.
A World of Fashion Tote Bags
From fabulously funky to decadently designer, any and every kind of tote is out there for the having. Most of us need more than one, so that we’re covered whether we’re going to the farmer’s market or the gym. You’re probably best off shopping for at least two bags of different sizes. Canvas is a great choice of fabric for an all-purpose bag. It’s strong but lightweight, can be easily cleaned and is functional as well as fashionable. Great tote bags also come in cotton, silk and a multitude of other fabrics.
Shopping Online for Fashion Tote Bags
Cute Cotton Totes
A great place to start your search for the bag that needs to be over your shoulder is Reusable Bags. If you think the words “eco-conscious” and “fashion” can’t possibly go together, a visit to the tote bags page on this site should change your mind in a jiffy. The “Happybags” series of cotton totes in bold and beautiful patterns and prints are an absolute must-have. The same overall size as a paper grocery bag, so that you never have to opt for an actual paper bag again, you can carry them over the shoulder, or they have flat nylon webbed handles for carrying by hand. The bags are lightweight, fold down for easy storage and the seams are bound with grosgrain ribbon, so that you can load them up with no fear of strain. They’re manufactured in the USA according to fair labor practices and can be washed in the machine.
Colorful Vinyl Mesh Totes
You should also take a look at the recycled ad bag, which puts the fun in funky by being made of old outdoor ad banners. The handles are made from recycled seatbelt straps, and have a rubber grip made from recycled bike inner tubes! These bags, whose fabric is recycle vinyl mesh, are durable, breathable and washable, and you can pack the kitchen sink in them. The bags come in a variety of colors and patterns and no two are ever alike, so you’re not only fashionable, you’re unique.
Funky Chunky Handbags
Another excellent online shop selling a ton of fashion tote bags is Funky Chunky Handbags. They have pages and pages of totes, shoulder bags, diaper bags, computer bags, gym bags and beach bags, so you should allow yourself a lot of time to browse. Unfortunately, the pictures of the bags don’t tell the whole story, as nothing is listed regarding fabric content, strength or strap length. They do give the dimensions, and there is an option to contact them, so you can at least ask some questions and possibly get some answers. However, when you have such adorable bags to choose from as the Blue Q Happy Camper Shopper, which is patterned with forest and ocean drawings, you might just want to take a chance the bag will work for you.
Designer Fashion Totes
Want something on the cutting-edge of fashion? Try the Diane Von Furstenberg Runway Fashion Tote, a smaller, elegant tote that can be used as a daily handbag. It is made of nylon twill, easy to clean, features long carrying handles and is even reasonably priced. It’s a perfect travel bag as it will hold a lot during the day, but is stylish enough for an evening out at a fancy restaurant or the opera.
The Last Word in Fun
For a really great selection of fun tote bags, you have to try Fun Tote, which features pages and pages of, you guessed it, cute and funky totes in fun colors and patterns. You’ll never have to use a paper or plastic bag again, wherever you are…and why would you want to?

Hi DenistT,
Sounds like a great company. Thanks for the tip!
-- Contributed by: LoriSoardI love Use It Again Sam bags-- for my reusable shopping and anything I want to tote bags. They've got great colors and they're light and compact and fold into a pouch that's sewn into the inside seam so you don't lose it. I love to use them clothes shopping and always get asked where I got my bag! The designer donates to Stand Up For Kids (org that helps homeless and street kids).

You are right. Tote bags have so many different, wonderful uses. We own about ten and use them to stay organized. For example, we have a music tote that we can grab as we run out the door to music lessons. It has my daughters' music books, CDs, payment or anything else we will need for that week's visit. We also have totes for AWANA, Sunday school, art class, my volunteer work as a secretary of business meetings, the library and the video store. Bags that are easy to clean are just an additional bonus.
