Inevitably, after years of iteration, tote bags evolved from being used for just functional purposes, but have become the style-du-jour. Each bringing its own unique character to the bearer's personality, slogans, graphics and logos are emblazoned on a variety of different styles. Recently, New York-label Chinatown Market, came out with a tote bag resembling the smiley grocery bags that are common around historical Canal Street.
Tote bags seem to appear everywhere whenever summer comes around, probably because of how light and hygienic they can be. Compared to backpacks and messengers, totes give off an effortless feel, without the commitment of packing on a thousand things and having excessive bag straps.
