History of Tote Bags

Tote bags have been used for centuries by mankind. Long before the term was even coined, people used to carry animal skin tote bags. However, they became popular when LL Bean released their first Boa Bag in 1944. It was a standard canvas bag that was designed for boaters. Since this bag was simple yet functional, it rapidly got popular among women. Of course, this was the time when tote bags came into the main scene and since then they have become one of the most common types of bags women take for shopping.

Also, tote bags became extremely popular as purses in the 50s. Since during the 50s women looked out more for practical bags instead of exquisite bags, tote bags became highly popular. Due to this demand of tote bags, the production of simple sturdy big bags grew. Two names are ought to be mentioned here; Bonnie Cashin and Kate Spade. Both of these people helped tote bags to come into the main scene and be part of the designer handbag circle. Bonnie Cashin was a famous Coach designer. She created her own line of Cashin Carry tote bags during the 60s. Kate Spade, during the 90s, transformed the basic tote bag into a complete fashion accessory for women.
