It's 2021 and canvas tote bags are very much 'in'. Only only as a style accessory but as a practical means of carrying necessary items from point A to point B. Whether you are out and about on the street, navigating a busy workday, or spending some quality time with friends or family, a tote bag is a must-have item.
One of the best things about a tote bag is that they are compact and can be folded away when not in use. Can your existing handbag do that? In this blog post, we'll highlight five easy ways to downsize your current bag to a canvas tote bag.
1. Take Inventory of Your Handbag
Before we do anytime else, let's take a look inside your handbag. Many of us are at fault for carrying way too many items around with us. This inventory may surprise and even shock you, but it's the first step to doing an effective bag detox.
Empty your handbag and see exactly what items you have in there. Line them all up and see which of these items are essential and which fall into the non-essential category.
2. Say Goodbye to Non-Essential Items
Ideally speaking, you will only want to carry items around with you that are of practical value on a regular basis. If there are items in your handbag that haven't been used by you in months (or even years!), then it's a sure sign that you can say goodbye to them.
Canvas tote bags are as much about efficiency as it is style. Carrying around heavy and unnecessary items, lost in the bottom of your handbag, should be a thing of the past with trendy canvas tote bags.
3. Downsize Practical Items
Once you've settled on a list of essential items for your canvas tote bag, you can create additional space and reduce weight by downsizing certain items. For instance, you can purchase a foldable water bottle, which is an extremely convenient item to have.
When it's empty, you can simply fold it down to almost nothing and it won't take up nearly as much space as a normal water bottle would. Plus, it's reusable which is a plus for the environment!
4. Update Your Bag Regularly
Ideally, you should update your bag daily so that it only contains items you'll need for that day. Anything that isn't relevant at that time can be left at home or in the office. This is a practical step to avoid carrying around unnecessary weight or an overly large handbag.
5. Don't Use It As a Rubbish Bin
This is probably something we're all guilty of. If we were to check out handbags now, a fair percentage of the items in there may actually just be rubbish. Always keep an eye out for rubbish bins in public and keep your new canvas tote bag free for the essential items!
