Tropical flowers come dressed for the occasion against a deep black background, mixing fiery anthuriums with hibiscus, plumeria, and layers of leafy greens. Teal and olive wind their way through the brighter blooms, giving the whole print a lush, almost dressed-up quality without losing its playful side. There’s a lot happening here, but that’s half the fun.
A roomy tote comes in handy for more than the grocery run. Load it up with farmers market finds, towels and sunscreen, an extra layer for the plane, or the things you inevitably pick up while you’re out. The fully lined cotton construction is made to be washed and used again, and when the tote is empty, it folds down small enough to tuck away until the next time you need the extra carrying space.
Lovanna Hawaii carefully handcrafts each bag in small batches in Kaua‘i, Hawaii. Because of natural variations in the fabric and pattern placement, each piece is unique.
Open: 18.5" H × 18" W × 3.5" D
Folded: 7" H × 5" W × 1.5" D
Handle height above bag: 7.5"
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Tumble dry low or air dry. Iron on low to medium heat as needed, avoiding the plastic snaps.
For the easiest fold, start by finding the plastic snap near the top of the tote, directly below the fabric flap. Lay the tote on a flat surface with that snap facing down. The fabric flap and handles should extend above the tote, with the handles resting on top of the flap.
1. Fold the handles down at their base, just below where they meet the body of the tote.
2. Fold the sides inward in thirds.
3. Starting at the bottom, fold the tote upward in thirds toward the flap.
4. Wrap the flap around the folded tote and snap it closed.

For the just-in-case moments.
You don’t always leave the house expecting to need more room than you started with. But plans change, things come home with you, and every now and then you find yourself with more to carry than you bargained for.
Having an extra bag nearby means you’re already one step ahead. When the moment comes, all you have to do is open it up and be quietly pleased with yourself for thinking ahead.
