Remember those days when you’d reach the sabzi mandi, only to realize your jhola just leaked because the bhindi got a bit too enthusiastic? Been there, cried over the tomatoes too. That’s exactly why I switched to waterproof cotton totes for my grocery runs. They’re sturdy, cute, and most importantly, able to survive Udaipur’s surprise […]

Every time birthdays or weddings come around, I panic a little. Not about what to wear this time, but about what to gift. Last year, I ended up wrapping a kurti in newspaper because I forgot to buy wrapping paper. That’s when it hit me — why not use something that’s actually useful as part

Raise your hand if you’ve ever ruined a good outfit because your bag didn’t match or worse, it gave up halfway through the day. Been there, cried over that. I still remember my first fancy tote — looked great till the straps snapped outside a college fest. Since then, I’ve trusted no bag without proper

Every time I step out with a tote bag, I smile thinking how far I’ve come from stuffing everything into one overworked jhola.

Okay tell me honestly, how many of us have walked into a concert or mela praying our tote survives the crowd? I’ve lost one to rain in Goa, another to a food truck spill, and once—embarrassingly—had to tie my tote handle with a hair rubber. Festivals are fun till your bag gives up mid-dance. After

Once I spilled watercolor all over my tote on a bus ride to Mount Abu. I was trying to sketch the landscape while balancing chai in one hand and my art bag in the other. Absolute chaos, but also the moment I realized how much a good tote matters for an art soul. It’s not

Some mornings I open my wardrobe and stare at my black tote bag like it’s my best friend and therapist in one. It has seen chai spills, traffic meltdowns, and those “late again” walks into meetings. If you’re anything like me, you know the magic of a classy black tote. It’s that one bag that

Once upon a time, I believed a tote bag was just a bag. You throw in your wallet, keys, maybe a spare biscuit for the dogs, and move on. But with time, I realised each tote carries a story. Sometimes it’s a block-printed tale from Rajasthan, or a piece of art retold in threads from
