December’s Tote of the Month by Tools for Working Wood really challenged our process! The bag is a 15 oz royal blue, with many small details in the various wood working tools. The guys at Tools for Working Wood did a great job of working with Enviro-Tote to get a fabulous, double sided, all over print tote bag.
If you are in New York, you can visit their pop-up shop for a limited time, and check out these totes and a lot of their products.
Each month Tote Talk will post a favorite bag choice and some background information about it. This month’s winner is: Puinsai Clothing Co.
Being a brand from Hawaii, PUINSAI Clothing Co. has adopted the responsibility to “Spread the Aloha” around the world. If you are unfamiliar with the meaning of “aloha,” Pilahi Paki, a time honored figure of Hawaii’s past, best described it. She wrote, “Aloha is the coordination of mind and heart . . . it’s within the individual. It brings you down to yourself. You must think and emote good feelings to others.”
PUINSAI Clothing Company’s tagline is “Spread the Aloha” and this is exactly what the company intends to do. Join them in recognizing each item in their line as the embodiment of “Aloha.”
Mahalo!

Find your balance when you use the new Yoga bag to easily tote your yoga mat with you where ever you find inner peace. When made from recycled cotton or recycled soda bottles, you complete the cycle and keep unwanted waste out of landfills. Yoga bags offer a long shoulder strap and a cinch closure at the top. (Cord & lock closure shown is available at extra cost.)
This week we were visited by two Bow High School students for Career Day. Alison and Abigail got a tour of our facilities and learned first-hand what it takes to create an Enviro-Tote bag. We set them to work designing art for our new lunch bag prototype and our Large Cheapy Tote bag. Let us know if you like the paisley pattern they came up with. Good job girls!
