Custom Tote Bag
History and Origin of Tote Bag
Origin: Functional Tote Bag (19th Century-Early 20th Century)
– Origin of the word “Tote”: Derived from the 17th century English word “tote”, which means “to carry” (derived from the evolution of the African language “tota”).
– Early Use: In the late 19th century, American farmers and workers used simple tote bags made of burlap or canvas to carry tools, agricultural products, etc., emphasizing durability rather than design.

Commercialization and Branding (1940s-1950s)
In 1944, the American outdoor brand launched the first commercial canvas “Ice Carrier” tote bag for carrying ice and firewood, laying the foundation for the prototype of the modern tote bag.
– Material evolution: Canvas became the mainstream due to its wear resistance and low cost, and natural materials such as cotton and linen were added later.
The rise of fashion and environmental symbols (1960s-1990s)
– Designers’ support: In the 1960s, Bonnie Cashin designed a leather tote bag for the American brand Coach, pushing it into the fashion field.
– The emergence of environmental awareness: In the 1980s, supermarkets promoted reusable shopping bags, and tote bags became an environmentally friendly choice for “anti-plastic bags”.
– Cultural symbols: Artists such as Andy Warhol carried tote bags, making them a symbol of pop culture and intellectual style.
Diversified development after the millennium (2000s to present)
– Fast fashion and customization: Brands such as Uniqlo and MUJI launched affordable tote bags; personalized printing and co-branded models are popular (such as Trader Joe’s online celebrity shopping bags).
– Environmental protection wave: After 2010, global plastic restriction policies pushed tote bags to become the standard for sustainable living.
– Luxury goods enter the market: Celine’s “Cabas” series, Dior’s “Book Tote”, etc. combine practical bags with high-end design, and the price soars to thousands of dollars.
