Drawstring Beach Tote Bag*
Carry all of your towels, extra clothing, and some snacks next time you head to the beach with the Drawstring Beach Tote Bag.
The Drawstring Beach Tote Bag is a trendy tote bag for everyone, and the reason it works is a single clever detail: a zippered handle that converts the tote into a backpack. Carry it by the handle across a car park, then zip it open and put it on your shoulders when you are loaded with towels, a cooler and a child's hand. A drawstring cord closure system stores everything in place so nothing works its way out on the walk down to the sand.
The bag is made of 600D polyester, the same weight of fabric used on gear that gets thrown in the back of a car and left there. An additional side zip entrance means you can reach a phone or a set of keys without unpacking the whole bag from the top, and a side grab handle gives you something to take hold of when you are lifting it out of a trunk.
It is perfect for beach outings and picnics, and it will happily absorb the extra luggage that never fits when you are traveling for a weekend. The backpack tote bag is also great for the kids to take to school every day: it is durable enough to hold school books, lunch boxes and extra clothing, term after term.
Personalize the beach tote bag with a short name or phrase embroidered on the front, stitched in-house by HansonEllis, in business since 1999, on up to two lines. A family name. A child's name on a school bag that keeps coming home. "Life's a Beach". A destination and a year for a trip everyone wants to remember. Embroidery sits into the fabric rather than on top of it, so it does not peel off the way a printed bag eventually does.
The Drawstring Beach Bag is also perfect for resort gift shops, cruise and school promotions, and event favors. Draw attention to your event with the Drawstring Beach Bag, and put your name where guests will keep carrying it long after the event ends.
Add your embroidery text above, choose your quantity, and send everyone home with a bag they will use all summer.

Which one should I choose
HansonEllis carries several personalized totes, and they differ mostly in fabric and in how they are carried.
| Drawstring Beach Tote Bag | Choose it when you want 600D polyester, a drawstring closure and a zippered handle that converts the tote into a backpack. |
|---|---|
| Eco Friendly Braided Handle Jute Bag | Choose that when you want a natural jute look for a favor or a shopping bag rather than a wet, sandy beach day. |
| Corporate Tote Bag | Choose that when the bag is for a conference or a promotion carried by hand rather than on the shoulders. |
| Tahitian Tote Bag | Choose that when the styling matters more than backpack straps and a side zip entrance. |
For the beach, the pool and the school run, the convertible drawstring tote in 600D polyester is the one that takes the abuse.
