Cotton tote bags printed by Australian artists

Heavyweight cotton tote bags with original prints by Australian illustrators. Reusable, machine washable, and made to last years of daily use. Each bag is illustrated by a named La La Land artist.

Specs

What to use them for

Daily commute, farmers' market shopping, beach days, library trips, and laptop carrying. Cotton totes are the heavier-weight everyday option — for lighter packable bags, browse foldable shopping bags instead. For smaller accessories, see printed purses and travel pouches.

Designs and themes

FAQs:

How much can a cotton tote bag carry?

Cotton tote bags are rated for 5-8kg of comfortable carrying. The double-stitched handles and reinforced seams mean they handle laptop weight, full grocery loads, and beach kits without straining.

Can the tote bags be machine washed?

Yes. Cold wash on a gentle cycle, line dry. Avoid hot water and tumble drying — heat can shrink cotton over time. The artwork is printed with fade-resistant inks rated for 50+ wash cycles.

What's the difference between cotton totes and foldable bags?

Cotton totes are heavier-weight and meant for daily everyday use — they don't fold compactly. Foldable nylon bags are lighter, fold into their own pouch, and live in your handbag for emergency shopping use. Most customers own both.
