The ethical tote bag, a timeless accessory
Originally, the tote bag was a large basket made of woven strawand used to carry harvests from the fields. In the 20th century, it was regularly used by women for their market shoppingdue to its size and depth, which allowed them to easily store their groceries. Today, the tote bag has become an essential fashion accessory,often taken to the beach, thanks to its function as a "carry-all" bag. Every woman can store a large number of itemsin it: beach towel, sunscreen, sunglasses, mobile phone, wallet, make-up bag, compact mirror, water bottle, book…
Subtly combining functionality, comfort and design,the tote bag can be carried on the forearm or over the shoulder, just like a tote bag. Chic or casual, it has become a trendy everyday accessory. Every woman can carry all her belongings in it to go to work, to her sports session or to go shopping. It is also the only bag that can hold a laptopin addition to personal belongings. Having stood the test of time without aging, the ethical tote bag remains one of our brand's timeless ethical accessoriesthat undeniably has a future in women's wardrobes.
