Being so far satisfied with the produce bag designs, although anxiously awaiting reviews from my first wonderful customers, I have started working on designs for a Daily Tote. My goal for this one is to make a bag that people WOULD actually carry with them inside their larger purse/briefcase everyday to work to cover all those little unexpected carrying jobs that land us with unwanted bags and packaging. The fabric would be the same organic color grown cotton I used for the wine gift bags due to its durability and gender neutral pattern. It would need to be small enough to be rolled up conveniently in one’s briefcase or purse but large enough to carry a take out lunch or pick up a few items after work, oh…say 2 or 3 bottles of wine and some stinky cheese. My first idea was to make it a flat tote for easy rolling and stashing, but flat can limit carry potential. I think a slight box approach might be better- like a shirt box shape. Or maybe I will make both designs.  Maybe a little inner pocket for to-do lists, money, etc? Nothing too bulky. Attractive enough to be stylish, but not so fancy people wold be afraid to chuck a lunch in it. When do you find yourself caught without your bag?

PS. What is with spell checker letting me spell definitely wrong on my sponge post? Tad embarrassing. I’ll get you spell checker…….don’t you worry.
