Because a Bag Isn’t Just a Bag — It’s Your Portable Personality
Let’s be honest — we’ve all seen that one person walk into a room with a tote bag that screams, “Yes, I’m quirky, caffeinated, and probably headed to a bookstore.”
And let’s also admit… we kinda wanted to be that person.
Tote bags have quietly tiptoed into our lives — from boring grocery companions to full-blown fashion icons. Today, they’re bold, weird, artsy, funny, loud, subtle… just like us. And with custom designs? They’re basically a personality wrapped in canvas.
So here’s a love letter to the mighty tote bag — and why you need one that’s as dramatic, wild, and charming as you are.
🛍️ The Rise of the Quirky Tote
Once upon a time, tote bags were the sidekicks of reusable shopping. Today, they’re the lead role in the indie film called “My Life, My Aesthetic.”
From airports to art fairs, from cafes to colleges — they’re everywhere. Why?
Because totes are:
- Lightweight and practical 🪶
- Eco-friendly ♻️
- Basically a blank canvas waiting for your sass 🎨
- A vibe
💬 What Your Tote Might Be Saying Behind Your Back
Let’s decode a few tote-bag types:
📚 The “Bookish & Proud” Tote
Quotes from Jane Austen. Sketches of cats reading poetry. You probably drink tea and write in cursive.
Ideal Custom Print: “My weekend is fully booked.” (Pun fully intended)
☕ The “Coffee Is a Lifestyle” Tote
You don't go anywhere without your espresso. Or at least five coffee-related stickers.
Typical Design: Illustrated mugs + “First I drink the coffee, then I do the things.”
🌍 The “Eco-Warrior” Tote
Sustainable. Ethical. Vegan snacks inside.
Look For: Earth tones, leaf prints, and messages like “This bag used to be a plastic bottle.”
😂 The “Meme Queen/King” Tote
You treat memes like gospel. Your tote probably says, “This is my emotional baggage.”
Font Style: Loud, bold, chaotic good.
🎨 The “Aesthetic Overload” Tote
This is less bag, more art. Abstract prints, paint splashes, maybe your own doodles.
What It Screams: “Don’t talk to me unless it’s about color palettes.”
🎨 Custom Tote = Walking Artwork
What’s better than buying a quirky tote? Making one that only exists because you imagined it.
You could:
- Put your pet’s face in a spacesuit
- Add your life motto in calligraphy
- Turn your inside joke into a viral conversation starter
- Even print your own handwriting
And yes — every PrintVarsity tote bag is totally customizable.
