Personalized Karma Tote*
Carry all your things in this brightly colored karma tote bag.
If you believe in Karma, you will be a true believer in the value and versatility of this Personalized Karma Tote. It is large enough to hold all of your essentials, with an oversized front pocket for the things you grab without looking and a built in key ring so keys stop living at the bottom of the bag.
Have your name or your own words of wisdom embroidered on the front, at no additional charge. Two lines of embroidery is room for a full name, a pair of initials above a year, or a line you actually live by, stitched into the fabric rather than printed on top of it, so it does not crack or peel the way a screened bag does after a season of being thrown into a car.
The extra long strap on this super tote is perfect for carrying over the shoulder or messenger style, which is the difference between a bag someone likes and a bag someone reaches for every morning. Give it to your student and let them use it for all of their school essentials. Take it to work with you and keep your planner, cell phone and other necessities by your side with ease. It is perfect for holding all of those library books and magazines, and it is large enough to keep file folders and documents as well. No matter what the need, this tote can fill it with flair.
The Personalized Karma Tote makes a perfect gift for the busy girl on the go. For the hardworking lady in your life, pair one of these terrific totes with our Polka Dot Purse Manicure Set and she will look stylish from her head to her toes; the simple designs of the two complement each other wonderfully. To keep her thinking of you while she sports this great tote, consider one of our Mini Wallet Photo Albums as well, where the natural leather goes perfectly with the fabric of the tote. Our Gifts for Her pages hold many other fitting gifts to combine with the Karma Tote.
Add your embroidery text above, choose your quantity, and give a bag that carries her name every single day.

Care and use
- The lettering is embroidered into the fabric rather than printed on top of it, so it will not crack or peel with daily use.
- The built in key ring keeps keys attached to the bag instead of loose in the bottom of it.
- The oversized front pocket is the place for a phone and a planner, keeping the main compartment free for books and folders.
How the Personalized Karma Tote is personalized
- Type the name or the words of wisdom you want embroidered on the front into the personalization field on this page, using up to two lines.
- Pick your font and your thread color from the 16 available, then set your quantity.
- HansonEllis embroiders the tote in-house and ships it insured by UPS, FedEx or USPS with tracking emailed to you.
Ideas for what to embroider on it
- Her full name on one line, which is the version that gets used the most and never looks dated.
- Initials on the first line and a year on the second, for a graduation, a wedding year or a new job.
- Her own words of wisdom, the line she repeats often enough that everyone who knows her will recognise it.
- A role rather than a name, such as TEACHER, NURSE or COACH, above the name underneath.
- A short phrase about karma itself, since that is the name and the idea the bag is built on.

Which one should I choose
The choice is usually between an embroidered tote, a plain one, and pairing the tote with something small to make it a full gift.
| Personalized Karma Tote embroidered with a name | Choose it when the bag is the gift and should read as hers at a glance, which is the usual pick for a birthday or Mother's Day. |
|---|---|
| Personalized Karma Tote embroidered with words of wisdom | Choose it when she already owns plenty of bags and the line on the front is the real present. |
| The Karma Tote with the Polka Dot Purse Manicure Set or a Mini Wallet Photo Album | Choose this when you want a complete gift rather than one item; the simple designs complement each other and the natural leather suits the tote's fabric. |
| A plain canvas shopping tote | Choose it when the bag is only for carrying things and nobody needs to know whose it is. |
If it is a gift rather than an errand bag, embroider it; personalization is included, so the named version costs nothing extra to make it hers.
