Recycled Organic Cotton Tote Bag*
Go for a classic look in organic cotton with the Recycled Organic Cotton Tote Bag. It has 29" strong rope handles secured with durable metal eyelets, an extra wide 8" gusset and a neat black trim, which together make it the bag you reach for without thinking. The long handles clear a shoulder and a winter coat, the eyelets take the strain where a thin tote tears, and the gusset means the bag stands up on its own once you put something in it.
That 8" depth changes what a tote can do. A laptop and a lunch, a beach towel with sunscreen and a good book, a farmers market haul, a change of clothes for the gym, a week of groceries; the Recycled Organic Cotton Tote Bag swallows all of it and still looks tidy over the shoulder or hand held. Tout your eco friendly nature as you carry it through a working day, a relaxed day at the beach or a long vacation somewhere far away.
Then there is the personalization, which is where a plain tote becomes a gift. A name, a monogram or a short line is embroidered in-house by HansonEllis across the front, up to two lines of stitching that sits into the cotton rather than printing on top of it. Fill one with wedding favors and keepsakes and present it to each of your bridesmaids for all their help and loving support. Stitch a teacher's name, a new graduate's year, a family name for a beach house, or a company name for a client gift that will genuinely be used.
It is a rare gift that works for a bridesmaid, a grandmother, a colleague and a teenager without any of them pretending. The Recycled Organic Cotton Tote Bag does, because everyone carries something, and everyone would rather carry it in organic cotton with their own name on it.
Add your embroidery text above, choose your quantity, and give a bag that earns its place in somebody's hallway.

Which one should I choose
A tote is either a giveaway that ends up in a drawer or a bag someone keeps by the front door, and the difference is usually depth, handles and whether it has their name on it.
| Recycled Organic Cotton Tote Bag | Choose it when the bag has to carry real weight and be a gift at the same time: 29" rope handles, an 8" gusset and up to two lines embroidered in-house. |
|---|---|
| A plain, unembroidered tote | Choose it when the bag is purely functional and nobody's name needs to be on it. |
| Personalized Travel Toiletry Bag | Choose it when the gift is for packing toiletries inside a suitcase rather than carrying things by hand. |
| A plastic or paper store bag | Choose it only for a single trip; it carries nothing heavy and nothing about it is a gift. |
For a bridesmaid gift, a conference bag or an eco-friendly present that gets used weekly, the embroidered organic cotton tote is the one that stays in circulation.

Questions shoppers ask about the Recycled Organic Cotton Tote Bag
What size is the Recycled Organic Cotton Tote Bag?
13" W x 14 1/2" H x 8" D. The extra wide 8" gusset is what lets it stand up and hold bulky things rather than flattening like a thin tote.

How is the tote personalized?
It is embroidered in-house by HansonEllis on up to 2 lines, so your wording is stitched into the cotton.
