Tote bags are big, multi-functional and loose bags that have two parallel handles originating from the sides of the pocket. They normally come with strong fabrics for instance canvas, nylon or leather, that ensures the carrier is able to keep various items like groceries, books, or belongings among others. Tote bags rarely have an interior division; they have a large open space to accommodate everything. Their design makes them ideal for walking around in, for shopping and as fashion items because they can easily be customized with different prints and designs.

• The tote bags market has grown tremendously in the recent past due to the new trends which involve the use of environmentally friendly and recyclable products to those of undesirable products such as plastics. Tote bags are popular due to utility, sturdiness, and eco-friendliness, which corresponds to increased concern for environmental problems and the desire to minimize disposable plastic products’ use. As a result of this change in consumers, retailers and fashion brands of the handbags and fashion accessories have increased the production of tote bags which are now made using organic cotton, recycled fabric, and biodegradable features.
• However, tote bags are no longer only used for carrying things but as fashions and instruments for advertisement for fashion companies. They are often used for imprinting artistic motifs, logos or any customized message, which qualifies them as casual and promotional items. The market provides a large variety of designs and size as well as price levels, starting from simple ones and ending up with luxurious designer ones. However, a trend like sustainability is slowly paving the way in the choice of purchases, so this market of tote bags can progress by developing new materials and looks more focused on fashion and sustainability.
