The Weekend Tote

OUR WEEKENDER BAG IS A CHIC GETAWAY COMPANION

Form meets function with Minted’s Weekend Tote, which features fresh prints from our community of independent artists. With a durable leather base and top zipper closure, this tote is perfect for a short weekend getaway, a day trip to the beach, or holding onto treasures uncovered at the Sunday farmer’s market. The Weekend Tote is lined with a fresh complimentary print and has roomy interior pockets to help keep your valuables in place. Additional secure exterior pockets provide quick access to your phone, boarding pass, or snacks. To keep track of your one-of-a-kind bag on a weekend trip with the girls, add personalization with a free foil-pressed leather tag featuring your name or initials.

IT’S ALL IN THE DETAILS

Fit everything comfortably in one of these overnight bags that you need for the weekend. This practical and fashionable weekender bag is 17 inches long, 14.25 inches wide, and 5.5 inches deep. Made out of durable cotton canvas, this woman’s tote features strong 22-inch canvas strap handles with a genuine leather trim. The base is covered with the same natural leather, offering a protective, yet chic and cohesive outer layer. Keep smaller go-to items in two open inside pockets as well as one interior zipper pocket. Zippers are styled with brushed copper and come with a pull strap made with genuine leather. Keep easy access items like your cell phone, keys, and wallet inside the exterior pocket, sealed with a copper snap closure. There is an additional exterior zipper pocket for carrying extra valuables. Keep this weekender tote looking its best by spot treating it as opposed to machine washing.

MAKE IT UNIQUELY YOURS

For a weekender tote that feels truly personal, be sure to style your very own personalized leather tag for free. During the checkout process on our site, you will be presented with six font options to select from when finalizing your name tag. We allow up to 12 characters to be printed on the leather tag and encourage you to be creative with your name choices! Nicknames and pet names are fair game! Each leather tag is sized at 3 1/8" x 3/4" and will complement the other leather elements on the bag nicely. Once your order is placed, our small team prints each character by hand in luxurious copper foil onto the leather for an elegant embossed finish using a traditional foil heat press. You will be impressed at the level of hand-craftsmanship that goes into the creation of each of our personalized bags.

OH THE PLACES YOUR WEEKEND TOTE WILL GO

A large, spacious bag that is comfortable to transport is a must-have for any trip, long or short. In this weekender bag you can pack everything needed for a staycation with friends or extended vacation minus the suitcase. Pack a change of clothes, toiletries, and a few necessities in place of a suitcase, or use the chic bag as a convenient and spacious carry-on while the rest goes in your checked bags. You’ll find that you’ll be surprised with how many uses you can find for this weekender bag – even beyond the weekend.

• Weekend Getaway/Staycation - For that spontaneous overnight trip at a friends or family, throw a change of clothes, your toiletries, and any other essentials with ease. No need to cram, stuff, or press down your bag just to close it up. With the Weekend Tote, you’re ready at any time.
• Beach/Pool Day - Towels can take up all the space in your backpack or day bag. This overnight bag can fit two towels with ease, plus your favorite book, a pair of sandals, sunscreen, and anything else you need for a fun day at the beach or poolside. The leather lining of the base means this woman’s bag will stay upright on your beach blanket. Canvas is also a great material for the beach, allowing for sand to easily be cleaned out afterward.
• Family Picnic - Grab that second bottle of rosé! The extra depth of this weekender tote allows for easy storage of larger food items like bottles of wine or a baguette. Stick everything you need inside and throw it around your shoulder while you head to your favorite spot at your nearby park. The inside lining provides extra insulation for your favorite picnic items.
• Carry-on for air travel - This overnight bag’s wide opening means easy access to anything you need to pass the time during a long flight like your favorite book, your tablet, your notebook, or your headphones. The bag’s flexible shape means it can be comfortably stored under your seat or in the overhead storage compartments.
• Trips to the Farmer’s Market - Shop local and organic in style! Give yourself plenty of extra space to stock up on your favorite local produce items and support local farmers. This canvas tote is a fashionable alternative to the reusable grocery bag with more space and more uses, like a post-market brunch with friends.

UNIQUE PRINTS FROM INDEPENDENT ARTISTS

All products for sale on Minted’s online marketplace have been designed by independent artists from around the globe; and our Weekend Tote collection is no exception. By taking on product development, production, fulfillment, marketing, and customer service, Minted enables artists to focus on what they love most – creating beautiful designs. To source fresh patterns and prints for this collection, we held a design challenge in which all artists on our platform were invited to submit artwork for consideration. All submissions were then voted on by fellow artists in the community as well as Minted customers. Our internal merchandising team then used this voting data to select designs that resonated most with shoppers and artists to curate this small, artisanal collection.

Since the patterns and prints were created by an array of artists with different backgrounds and mediums, you’ll be able to find a design that best suits your personal style. Options range from vibrant botanicals to earthy neutrals to soft watercolors. Our mission is to support the personal development, creativity, and careers of artists by bringing their vision to life in the form of physical products and connecting those products to customers who appreciate great design. When you purchase a Weekend Tote from Minted, the artist behind the pattern you’ve selected will earn a 6% commission. Every sale they make on Minted helps further their career as a full-time artist. Each Minted order includes a slip inside the package with a message from the artist and a brief bio. This is a great way to get to know the artist and what makes their art and your purchase truly unique.

PAIR IT WITH A POUCH

Looking for a way to keep small personal items a bit more organized? Minted has an array of beautiful pouches and clutches that pair beautifully with this spacier tote and fit nicely in its interior pockets. Choose a matching pattern or play around with complementary or even artfully mismatched prints for a fun, unexpected weekend duo. Here are some of our favorite items to pair with this weekender bag.

• Catch-All Pouch Set - Store pens, makeup, lip gloss, toiletries, and even loose change in style with our combination of two fabric pouches sized at 11” x 7” and 7.75” x 5.25”. Each pouch has an elegant matching pattern and is sealed shut with a durable zipper and leather pull. Store both easily inside of your Weekend Tote to secure small essentials. Similar to the larger tote, we allow you to add personalized leather tags to each pouch for a finished look.
• Casual Clutch - Our chic Casual Clutch will keep all your belongings stylishly in place for a night out with the gals. Keep track of your phone, wallet, keys, and concert ticket, and still have room for your favorite breath mints or gum! Sized at 8” x 10.5”, the soft leather trim helps accentuate the bold fabric pattern.
