Did you know that L.L. Bean made the first tote bags in the 1940s? "Beans Ice Carrier" was a tote designed to carry ice from your car to your ice chest - before most homes had electric refrigerators. In the 1960s they update their Ice Carrier to the "Boat and Tote", still available today, and still one of their best sellers.

This Transwonder Matte Black is my go to favorite HTV for tote Bags.
It's about $1 a sq foot [inexpensive!], goes on beautifully, and there's just something about matte vinyl on canvas that I think works especially well.

A Quick History Of Tote Bags
================
Did you know the word ‘tote’ is a colloquial term that means ‘to carry a heavy load’? Quite ironic considering that nowadays the tote bag is often used to carry a few light things for day-to-day wear.
L.L.Bean is often credited with creating the first tote in Maine in 1944 when they launched "Beans Ice Carrier" - a sturdy, durable, water-resistant canvas bag. Designed to “carry ice from car to ice chest”. At the time, Maine was known for stocking a large quantity of premium ice. The majority of American households didn’t have refrigerators, so the bag was the solution for transporting ice from the car to the freezer.
Before long, people began using it for all kinds of other things, like groceries and other household chores.
In the 1960s, L.L.Bean renamed their popular bag "The Boat and Tote". They upgraded the design with some stylish elements, and the result is still one of their best sellers today.
In the 1980s, the New York Book Store the Strand pioneered the trend of tote bags for advertising. The first Strand tote was made with cotton duck canvas (more tightly woven than canvas) and an interior lining, and it boldly advertised the store’s name, address, phone number, and slogan.
