Description:

I don't know about you, but I have a lot of tote bags and am always collecting more! I use one every day and carry spares when I go grocery shopping to cart my things home. If you'd like to receive a tote bag from somewhere you've likely never been, this is the swap for you!

The rules are simple: you send ONE tote bag to ONE partner:

  • Sender's choice BUT it would be nice to check your partner's profile for hints (they may love books so you might be able to find a tote bag from a local book shop; and you probably don't want to send a bag from a meat market to your vegetarian partner!).

  • The kind of tote bag I'm picturing is the lightweight cotton type big enough for carrying groceries/folders for school, as pictured. BUT if that type isn't widely available where you are (or you find a different style that you think would really suit your partner) feel free to send a boxier tote or a thicker canvas one - as long as it's a decent size to carry things around (no mini totes).

  • Try to buy a 'local' bag - from a shop unique to your town/country (e.g. 'Westport Books'), or a bag with the name of your town/country on it (e.g. 'I <3 London'). Museums and galleries often do lovely totes too!

  • Although I love handmade, in this swap the bag should be shop-bought rather than handmade.

  • Please no free promotional tote bags with the names of insurance companies or charities on them!

Note: some artist-printed/design-led totes can be expensive - whether you send these is up to you, but I created this swap with the kind of "buy a reusable cotton bag at the cash desk" kind of tote in mind.

4.90 minimum rating, no recent unexplained 1s or 3s. Please get in touch if you will be sending late for any reason - I know that things happen but all it takes is a message to let me and your partner know. Thanks!

I would totally join this one but the turn around on the mailing to too short.

@MamaMay I've edited it to give you three weeks to shop and send - I hope that helps!

I will watch for now, (I assume you will be hosting more as you really like totes) as I like to have already bought whatever it is I am swapping before joining a swap.
