I suffer from the same sickness - totes totes and more totes !!! there’s something about a good tote - nothing conveys your taste and personality like a tote!
I'm always in awe of your early influences on who you are today. We carry our lives (and every. other. person's. every. single. day!) so the tote is truly the only bag we ever need. The more, the merrier!! And you know my Clothes Minded spirit well...I don't think these are just great bags, but evidence of a life well lived.
Leon Leonwood Bean? I have lived a lifetime with LLBean and this is the very first time I knew his full name. And his tote lore is priceless! Also, my Madewell tote is everything! Queen bee!
Ok ppl don’t forget she’s also THE designer behind the Madewell transport tote. We’re all just eating from your hand!!!
OMG ROSE! Making me blush! xo
EXCUZE ME!????!! The way this would be my bio…
LOL!
Literally my getway drug to totes!

Joyce, I could read a book about totes from you!! I love your round up!!
OMG I just devoured your Tote Post too!! x
Same girl, same!
Would love to see a post detailing your collection of totes! I am also tote bag obsessed!
Ooh love this, I’ll have to do it!! Thank you!!! ☺️
I love the Chavas tote you stenciled so much...it's SO good ✨
Thank you Christene! It was a good one!! She carries it all the time, makes me so happy to see.

Man, I love a tote. This line up was great!
Thank you!!!! 🙏🏽
Love this
Thank you!! 😘
Didn't you also design and make your own totes for your personal Quiltey brand? I recall seeing these and wishing I had snagged one, but never did...
Omg! Yes! I made quilted bandana tote bags as a Covid project ! 🖤🖤🖤
I knew it, thank you for validating my memory. I would thoroughly support a resurrection of this project! Maybe a special for Substack subscribers? :)
Great memory!! And I’ve considered this, as several people have reached out to rebuy the bag over the years! Hmmmmmm…. Xo

The more the merrier is how I will think of it, even though my apartment is bursting at the seams with big old totes!!!
I have a fetish for tote bags, and a bit ashamed to admit it! My favorite one ever is the one from Maison Kitsuné that I bought in Paris years ago 🦊
No shame for any tote you love!!!!! Send a pic!
Ahhh what a fabulous round up! I treasure my Joyce Lee original and this was a good reminder to pull her out and use it more this summer!!
So excited that you have that tote and I want to see more pics!!! Xo

Obsession over every word here!!!
Thank you Charu! x
