Washed Denim Tote Bag*
The Washed Denim Tote Bag, available in charcoal or pink, has an unfinished seam for a fashionable and classic appeal. The washed denim gives the bag a vintage look, the kind that usually takes years of wear to earn, and the raw edge is deliberate: it is the detail that keeps this bag from looking like every other plain canvas tote on the table. At 14.5"L x 14.5"H x 3.5" it is a real bag, not a gift-bag substitute, wide enough at the base to stand up on its own when it is loaded.
With a 5.5" x 4" interior pocket and 18" webbed cotton handles, the denim tote bag is all you'll want with you when shopping or taking a visit to the park for a picnic. The pocket keeps keys and a phone from disappearing to the bottom, and the 18" handles clear a shoulder, so it carries hands-free between the car, the market and the front door.
Personalize the washed denim tote bag with a fun phrase, monogram, or the recipient's name on the front, embroidered in-house by HansonEllis, personalizing gifts since 1999. Twelve characters is the working space, which is exactly right for "Team Bride", "Bridesmaid", a first name or a married surname. Stitched into washed denim, the lettering looks worn-in from the first day rather than printed on.
The bag could serve as a special thank you gift for your bridesmaid and close friends at the wedding. It's also a great event favor at birthdays, bridal/baby showers, picnic parties, or reunions, and it has a long second life after the event is over. In addition to being a shopping bag, the denim bag is a useful book bag for students, or convenience bag for carrying multiple items conveniently. Its denim build and webbed cotton handles with metal clipping give dexterity and reliability for prolonged use, which is a polite way of saying it will still be in the back of the car years from now.

Which one should I choose
Most shoppers are deciding between a denim tote with some character and the plain bags usually handed out at showers and weddings.
| Washed Denim Tote Bag | Choose it when you want the vintage washed-denim look, the unfinished seam and a name embroidered on the front of a bag that gets carried for years. |
|---|---|
| A plain canvas tote | Choose it when the bag only has to hold things for one afternoon; it will not have the denim character, the interior pocket or the webbed handles. |
| A gift bag or paper favor bag | Choose it only as packaging; it goes in the recycling the same week, while the denim tote becomes a book bag, market bag or picnic bag. |
If you want the thank-you to be carried rather than stored, the embroidered Washed Denim Tote Bag is the one to order.
