Shoulder Tote Bag

The shoulder tote bag is a fashion staple for trendy young women. There are many shapes and sizes of tote bag and they are all functional and fashionable at the same time. The shoulder tote is slightly different from the others. It has longer straps so that you can sling the bag over your shoulder instead of holding it with your hands. It is also a little bit wider to make sure the weight is distributed over a larger area making it more comfortable to carry on your shoulder.

Shoulder bags make great shoppers. Because they are so large, you can fit all of your shopping into them so you only have to carry one bag instead of many. As they are so sturdy they will not break under heavy weights like carrier bags sometimes do. Some supermarkets are trying to convince shoppers to use tote bags instead of carrier bags to try and reduce the effect that carrier bags have on the environment. But supermarkets aren’t the only shops that sell “Bags for Life”. Marks & Spencer’s, TopShop and even Stella McCartney have designed their own versions. Thanks to these brands getting involved, saving the environment is becoming more fashionable.

Shoulder tote bags are often used as promotional gifts by companies needing to advertise their company. A canvas tote is quick, easy and cheap to make and it can be given out to potential clients with any brochures or information about the company inside. Sure Start Children’s Centres are one of the government’s recent initiatives and in order for the centres to get their message out to all the parents, they have open days. At the open days they give out canvas shoulder bags with a big Sure Start logo on the front. As parents are regularly socializing at toddler groups, school playgrounds and children’s birthday parties, it doesn’t take long for people to notice the tote bags. As the bags are so useful, many parents use them everyday. So the bags really do get maximum exposure. Even though parents get these free tote bags, many still go out and buy new tote bags. They are not expensive to buy and there is a massive market of tote bags aimed at mothers. Totes bags are an excellent casual choice for a daytime look for the yummy mummy. They fit so much in them that mothers can carry bottles, diapers, wipes, cream, a change of clothes, and whatever else their baby might need.

Shoulder tote bags are often given out in women’s magazines as free gifts. These work as an excellent incentive for women to buy the magazine as they know how useful the bags can be. As the bags are so cheap to make, it doesn’t cost much for the magazine to enlist a designer to make them and the extra magazine sales more than cover this. A shoulder tote bag makes an excellent free gift and definitely encourages more people to buy the magazine that month.
