Great Uses For Fabric Tote Bags

Fabric tote bags have so many uses it would be difficult to list all of them. But what is for sure is that they never go out of style. They are commonly used as beach bags, diaper bags, purses, and as girls move to higher grades in school, they are using them as book bags in place of backpacks. They are just trendier and look more adult than a backpack.

One of the reasons that they work so well is that they can be purchased plain or printed with virtually any kind of design. Plain bags are a favorite among crafty people who enjoy decorating their own bags. Some people decorate the tote bags and sell them at craft shows and small shops.

Fabric tote bags are inexpensive to buy, too. Many women have several bags for different uses, and they usually have one that they carry to work with their laptop computer, files, appointment book and some office supplies. These women may have another for shopping days that are large enough to carry their smaller shopping bags as they go from store to store in the mall.

You should be aware, though, that when you carry a big fabric tote bag into a store you are likely to be followed around by security because there's plenty of room to drop stolen goods into. But if you are doing nothing wrong there is nothing to worry about, let them follow you.

Fabric tote bags are popular among busy moms, especially those who have toddlers. These bags are great as diaper bags since they will fit everything you need to take care of your baby on an outing. And you can throw in your wallet and personal things in, too This way there is no need to carry a diaper bag and a purse.

An old trend that is new again is kids in primary school carrying fabric tote bags in lieu of backpacks. Girls at that age need to carry personal items to school like hairbrushes, feminine products, and they can't live without their cell phones (which they're not allowed to carry in school, but they do). There is enough room in such a tote bag to put their personal items and all their books and schoolwork in at the same time.

Many busy women prefer bags made of fabric to pocketbooks for regular use. These bags make it easy to toss everything into; when you need something on the go, you can reach into your tote bag and grab it. No need to remember which pocket or zipper everything is in.

Fabric tote bags are wonderful for traveling, too. As a carry on bag for air travel you can fit your personal items, an electronic game for long trips and puzzle books and magazines, snacks, and items that you don't want to check. Some people put their clothes in one bag and their personal items in another and that's all they need for a short trip. There's no need to check any bags and worry about them being lost in flight.
