Description

TOTE BAG MADE IN FRANCE, hand-painted, unique and in limited quantity.

A true medium for artistic expression, this tote bag is a unique model because the painting is done by hand in our workshop.

Inspired by the delicate art of Japanese origami, the Monébari tote bag captivates with its subtle interplay of pleats and graphic lines. Its design is based on a clever balance between formal creativity and textile engineering, notably thanks to the clever insertion of the handles into the structure of the bag itself, creating a silhouette that is both original and refined.

Handcrafted in our Chauvigny workshop, this model reflects French craftsmanship through a rigorous selection of noble materials: an exceptionally high-quality cotton canvas combined with full-grain leather. The pattern coating reinforces the fabric's resistance to friction, guaranteeing remarkable durability for everyday use.

Featuring a single compartment, this tote bag is designed for simple, intuitive, and lightweight use. Its extreme lightness makes it particularly comfortable to carry, whether by hand or over the shoulder, to elegantly accompany both active days and more relaxed moments.

Each copy is carefully made in our Chauvigny workshop.

Why is this bag called a tote bag?

The term "tote bag" has its roots in 17th-century English. The verb "to tote" at the time meant "to carry" or "to transport". This term became popular in the early 20th century when British postmen adopted these lightweight bags to replace their heavy leather satchels.

A real boom occurred in 1944 in the United States, when the LL Bean brand launched its first model designed for transporting ice blocks. The exceptional practicality of this bag revolutionized the daily lives of Americans.

Today, Monébari reinvents this tradition by creating unique pieces where art meets functionality. Eachtote bagfrom our collection perpetuates this historical heritage while adding a touch of contemporary elegance.

How do you wear a tote bag?

THEcasual styleThe Monébari tote bag adapts to all body types. When worn over the shoulder, position the handles so that the bag rests naturally at hip level. The optimal length of the straps allows for an elegant fit without restricting your movement.

For a more urban look, carry your tote bag by hand, letting the handles join naturally. This technique particularly highlights the hand-painted patterns characteristic of our creations.
