Personalized Canvas Tote Bag**
Light weight but sturdy, the Personalized Canvas Tote Bag is the perfect companion wherever you go. Load it up with important files and your laptop and carry it with ease to work and all your meetings. The canvas has enough body to hold its shape when you set it down, and the 15" x 16" cut is deep enough that a laptop sleeve and a folder drop in flat instead of standing on end.
Take it to a study session at the library or school, and throw in all the books you'll need. Its simple but elegant design is even perfect to accompany you on short day trips to your favorite boutique, where a logo-covered freebie tote would look out of place. This is eco-friendly canvas, so the bag that replaces the throwaway ones is also the one people are happy to be seen carrying.
Each canvas bag comes embroidered with a name or short message of your choice, stitched into the fabric in-house by HansonEllis, personalizing gifts since 1999. Twelve characters on one line is room for a first name, a nickname, a set of initials or a two-word line, and thread worked into canvas will not crack, peel or wash off the way a printed graphic does. That is the difference between a tote someone uses for a season and a tote that is hers.
This makes the perfect gift for any loved ones, as you can personalize it with your own special message and fill it up with favors or presents. Hand one to each bridesmaid with her name already on the side, send one home with every guest holding the favors, or give it as it is and let them fill it themselves.
Perfect for a solitary trip to the grocery store, library or beach, this roomy bag will be able to hold everything you'd need. Whether you're looking to load it up with all your books or simply have a place to hold your towel and sunscreen, you'll be able to do it with style and comfort. Spacious, simple, and durable, the canvas tote bag provides reliability with a personal touch.

Which one should I choose
Tote bags separate on two things: what the bag is made of, and whether the name is stitched in or printed on.
| Personalized Canvas Tote Bag | Choose it when you want a light, sturdy 15" x 16" eco-friendly canvas bag with a name embroidered into the fabric in your choice of thread color. |
|---|---|
| A printed or iron-on tote | Choose it when you need a long line of text or a full graphic; print is not held to the 12 characters the embroidered area takes, but it can crack and fade with washing. |
| A plain unpersonalized tote | Choose it only when the bag is a carrier and nothing more; with no name on the side it will not read as a gift or become a keepsake. |
For a gift that stays useful and still looks personal after a year of grocery runs and beach days, the embroidered canvas tote is the one to pick.
