Tahitian Tote Bag*
Carry all your essentials for your summer getaway with this spacious tote bag.
The Tahitian Tote Bag is built for the days when a handbag is not going to cut it. At roughly 17-3/4 inches across and 12-1/2 inches high, with 7 inches of depth through the middle, it swallows a beach towel, a paperback, sunscreen, a water bottle and a change of clothes and still closes its mouth over the top without complaint. That is the whole appeal: one bag, everything in it, hands free.
What lifts it above the tote she already owns is the embroidery. Personalization is included, stitched in-house by HansonEllis, and you get up to two lines of your own wording: a first name, a monogram, a title like Bridesmaid or Maid of Honor, a wedding date, a phrase that only your group will understand. Because it is thread and not print, the wording does not crack, peel or fade the way a heat-pressed name does after a summer of sand and salt. Hand her the Tahitian Tote Bag with her name on it and she knows immediately which one is hers, at the pool, in the car, on the boat, in the pile by the door.
It earns its keep long after the event, too. A bridesmaid carries it to the beach, then to the gym, then to the farmers market. A teacher fills it with books on Monday. A new mother uses it as the bag that lives in the trunk for everything the day throws at her. A traveller keeps it packed flat in a suitcase for the way home, when the shopping will not fit.
Order a single Tahitian Tote Bag as a gift, or a matched set for the bridal party, the bachelorette weekend, the team or the office, each one stitched with a different name. Every bag is personalized in-house by HansonEllis, in business since 1999, so the wording you type is the wording that gets sewn.
Add your personalization text above, choose your quantity, and give her the bag that is unmistakably hers.

Which one should I choose
A tote is either something that gets used once at the event or something with her name on it that stays in rotation for years.
| Tahitian Tote Bag | Choose it when you want a large bag, roughly 17-3/4 inches wide and 12-1/2 inches high, embroidered with up to two lines of wording. |
|---|---|
| A plain, unpersonalized tote | Choose it when the bag is purely a carrier and nobody needs to tell one from another. |
| A small clutch or cosmetic bag gift | Choose it when the gift should be a pretty extra rather than the bag that carries everything. |
For a bridal party, a beach weekend or a group gift where every bag should belong to someone by name, the embroidered Tahitian Tote Bag is the one that keeps getting used.
Ordering the Tahitian Tote Bag for weddings and events
For a wedding, bachelorette weekend or company event, order one Tahitian Tote Bag per person plus a spare or two, since a bag with the wrong name on it cannot be handed to somebody else. Every bag can carry different wording: place the order for the full quantity, then email your list of names to [email protected] so it can be matched to your order. A company or event logo is a custom order, so send a vector file or a high-resolution image to the same address, and note that not every logo can be embroidered. Standard production is 5–10 business days, rush 3–5 and expedite 1–3, plus 2–5 days US shipping; for a wedding, order 3–6 months ahead. For bulk pricing, please contact [email protected].
Questions shoppers ask about the Tahitian Tote Bag
How big is the Tahitian Tote Bag?
Approximately 17-3/4"L x 7"W x 12-1/2"H, so it holds a beach towel, a change of clothes and everyday carry with room left over.
Is personalization included?
Yes. Personalization is included with the Tahitian Tote Bag; you type your wording in the personalization fields on this page.
How is it personalized?
It is embroidered in-house by HansonEllis, so the wording is stitched in thread rather than printed on.
How many lines of text can I have?
Up to two lines. No character cap is listed for this bag, but shorter lines stitch larger and stay easier to read.
What should I put on the two lines?
A first name, a monogram, a bridal party title such as Bridesmaid or Maid of Honor, a date, a destination, or a short phrase your group will recognize.
Can each bag have a different name?
Yes. Place your order for the full quantity, then email your list of names to [email protected] so it can be matched to your order.
Can you embroider our company or event logo?
Logos are a custom order. Email a vector file (.eps, .ai, .cdr, .pdf or .svg) or a high-resolution image to [email protected]; a logo setup fee applies and not every logo can be embroidered.
Can I see a proof before you stitch it?
Yes. Proofs are optional and available on request for a $35-55 service fee per proof, and a proof adds extra days to production. Changes after a proof has been sent carry a $40 minimum updating fee, so check your spelling before ordering. Ask in the order notes or call Customer Support at 310-878-9429.
Is there a minimum order?
No. Order one bag or one for every bridesmaid. For bulk pricing, please contact [email protected].
How long does it take to get a personalized Tahitian Tote Bag?
Standard production is 5 to 10 business days, then 2 to 5 days shipping in the US. Rush (3 to 5 days) and expedite (1 to 3 days) production are available at checkout. For a wedding, order 3 to 6 months ahead when you can.
Do you ship internationally?
International shipping is by request. The shopping cart calculates US shipping only and international orders cannot be rushed, so email [email protected] for a quote.
Can I return an embroidered tote bag, and where do I buy one?
Embroidered bags are made to order and are final sale unless defective; non-personalized items can be returned within 14 days. You can order the Tahitian Tote Bag at HansonEllis.com, personalized in-house since 1999.
