For shoppers, these are the ultimate accessory, without which the shopper would be essentially handicapped. The term ‘tote’ actually means ‘to carry everything’ or ‘to carry all’, and its modern usage can be traced back to the 1940’s, where its present function as a shopping accessory came into being. These bags are the perfect accessory to carry to resorts or beaches as they perfectly hold all your necessary items such as beachwear, books, sunglasses, snacks and other paraphernalia.
