Jute Tote Bag*
Made from natural jute, take this bag wherever you go from the beach to the mall.
Go natural with this eco-friendly Jute Tote Bag. You can make a fashion statement and a social statement all at once by carrying this bag. With reasonable dimensions to incorporate a large spacious design, at 12" x 12" x 5", the bag is ideal for shopping or on short day trips. Its sturdy design provides the kind of durability that lasts a couple of years, exactly what you expect with a tote bag.
Added comfort is derived from its bamboo handles, utilizing excellent weight distribution, so you are able to carry as many items with less strain on the arm. That is the difference between a bag you use once for the photograph and a bag that lives by the front door and goes out every week, loaded with a market haul, a beach towel or everything a day away from the house needs.
Our jute bag can be embroidered on the side with a first name or initials. You can have that special person in your life feel even more loved with a personalized gift from you. Thread stitched into jute does not peel or crack the way a printed name does, so the name is still there in a year, and there is never a moment at the beach or in a kitchen full of guests where two identical totes get mixed up.
It is a great way to reward your bridesmaid, maid of honor and close friends at a wedding, handed over at the rehearsal or waiting in each room with the day's things already inside. The tote may also apply as a gift bag for Mother's Day or during summertime at the beach, when it goes out full of sunscreen and paperbacks and comes home full of sand and shells.
Comfort is essential when delivering an eco-friendly product. Made from high quality jute fiber coupled together with bamboo frame handles, you get a completely natural product that is entirely recyclable, reusable and environmentally friendly. You will definitely be proud with one of these.
We have several Handbags and Tote Bags available. Find others you might be interested in, including the larger Large Jute Shopping Bag, or the similar Brown Eco Jute Tote Bag.

There are three jute bags in this range and they differ mainly by size and finish.
| Jute Tote Bag | Choose it at 12" x 12" x 5" with bamboo frame handles, for shopping, short day trips and a bridesmaid or Mother's Day gift. |
|---|---|
| Large Jute Shopping Bag | Choose it when you need more room than 12" x 12" x 5" gives you for a full shop or a market haul. |
| Brown Eco Jute Tote | Choose it when you want the same idea in a similar tote and prefer the brown finish. |
| A plain unpersonalized shopping bag | Choose it when no name is going on the side and the bag does not need to be told apart from anyone else's. |
