The history of the tote bag

It consists of a beautiful tote bag with a timeless design that offers a generous capacity, protected by a discreet zipper. The leather handles are comfortable and allow it to be carried on the shoulder or arm.

There are many stories about the origin of the tote bag, one of which begins in the 1860s in Paris.

The luggage industry is booming with the rise of travel. This is how more and more bags of all sizes appear. The tote bag was originally created for businessmen traveling with their documents, personal belongings, or travel blankets. Made of leather, they are more durable than the canvas bags of the 18th century.

The tote bag continued to be widely used throughout the 1970s and into the 1980s. As the tote bag's popularity grew, its uses expanded. For example, companies began using tote bags as advertising media. Inexpensive to produce, it was easy to print a logo on the front and sell them as merchandise.
