Canvas Straw Eco Friendly Tote Bag*
Made from a natural mix of 12 oz. natural cotton canvas and recycled coated straw, this planet-friendly tote is fully-lined and features dual handles. Its spacious interior has open pockets for a cell phone and keys, in addition to a zippered pocket to keep small personal items secure. A magnetic snap closes the bag at the top center, and a hook closure brings the sides together to change the shape and size of the bag.
Read that list again, because it is the difference between a tote bag and a bag you actually use. Most canvas totes are a sack with two straps: your keys sink, your phone disappears, and nothing closes. This one has a home for the keys, a home for the phone, a zip for the wallet, and a magnetic snap at the top center so the whole thing is not standing open on a train or a beach chair.
The hook closure is the other clever part. Hooked, the sides come together and the bag narrows into something neat for a day in town. Released, it opens back out to its full 13"H x 15"W x 6"D for a farmers market run, a beach towel and a book, or a week's worth of paperwork. One bag, two shapes, depending on the morning.
The mix of materials is what gives it its character. The 12 oz. cotton canvas keeps the structure so it stands up rather than slumping, and the recycled coated straw gives it the texture of somewhere warm. Being eco-friendly here is not a sticker on a label, it is what the bag is made of, and it is one more plastic bag nobody has to take at a checkout.
The Canvas Straw Eco Friendly Tote Bag is embroidered in-house by HansonEllis, which has been personalizing gifts since 1999, with up to 12 characters on one line. That is a first name, a set of initials, "Bridesmaid", "Team Bride" or "Beach Please". Hand out six of them at a bridal party brunch and nobody picks up the wrong bag.
Add your personalization above, choose your quantity, and give them a bag they will keep reaching for.

Which one should I choose
Tote gifts come down to whether the bag survives the event, and whether anyone can tell whose is whose.
| Canvas Straw Eco Friendly Tote Bag, embroidered | Choose it when the bag should be used for years: 12 oz. canvas and recycled straw, fully lined, zippered pocket, magnetic snap, with a name or initials embroidered on one line. |
|---|---|
| The same tote with no personalization | Choose it when the bags are for general use or a giveaway and nobody needs to know which one is theirs. |
| A printed promotional tote or paper welcome bag | Choose it when the bag only needs to survive one weekend; it has no lining, no pockets and no closure, and it usually ends up in the recycling. |
For bridesmaids and welcome bags, embroider the Canvas Straw Eco Friendly Tote Bag with each name; a printed bag is packaging, this one is a bag people keep.

Questions shoppers ask about the Canvas Straw Eco Friendly Tote Bag
How big is the Canvas Straw Eco Friendly Tote Bag?
It is 13"H x 15"W x 6"D, and the hook closure brings the sides together so you can narrow the bag when you are not carrying much.
What is the tote made of?
A natural mix of 12 oz. natural cotton canvas and recycled coated straw. It is fully lined, which is why it holds its shape rather than slumping.
What pockets does it have inside?

Does the bag close at the top?
Yes. A magnetic snap closes the bag at the top center, and the hook closure pulls the sides together to change the shape and size.
How is the tote personalized, and how much text fits?

Can I have a monogram or just initials instead of a name?

Can I see a proof before the bags are embroidered?
Proofs are optional and available on request for a $35-55 service fee per proof, and a proof adds extra days to production. Changes after a proof has been sent carry a $40 minimum updating fee. Customer Support is at 310-878-9429.
Is there a minimum order?
No. Order one tote or one for every bridesmaid and guest. For bulk pricing, please contact [email protected].
How long does it take to get embroidered tote bags?
Standard production is 5 to 10 business days, then 2 to 5 days shipping in the US. Rush (3 to 5 days) and expedite (1 to 3 days) are available at checkout. For a wedding, order 3 to 6 months ahead when you can.
