Sustainable Living with Sitti: The Tote Bag

4 Ways We’re Using Our Tote Bag As mentioned before, the nature of cotton tote bags gives you countless ways to use them. In the following list, we put together some of our ideas on how to get the most out of your tote bag. 1 - As a grocery bag This is the most common (and also, most important thing!) to do with your tote bags. Shopping is one of the most repeated activities we do, so carrying your fabric bag around while running your errands is a great way to replace plastic bags with a greener substitute. 2 - As a lunch bag or on a picnic It’s not very heavy to carry, easy to clean if you spill food on it, and looks good when paired with your purse if you carry one. 3 - As a casual alternative to your purse Or, just carry it as your purse! Tote bags can be absolutely gorgeous, with unlimited styles, colours and looks. 4 - As a gym bag or a diaper bag Tote bags come in really handy when you want to leave quickly and grab some essential items for your kids or yourself. Keep it near the door with your sneakers, ready to grab on the way out. Our Sitti Guide to Tote Bag Care Follow this simple routine to keep your Sitti x Deerah Embroidered Tote Bag (or any tote bag) in healthy condition, and to give it the long life it deserves for maximum environmental impact. Clean your bag periodically Most tote bags are cotton, and depending on the details of their design, they can be hand washed alongside your delicates. Our Sitti x Deerah Tote Bags are hand wash only, which will prolong the beauty and condition of the hand stitched embroidery on each bag. To hand wash: Grab some Sitti soap flakes in cold water, gently scrub any stains with a Loofah, and give your tote some TLC. B - Store it in a clean place In that way, it can stay clean and ready for any moment to be used. C - Repair it Why give up on your tote bag when it can be rendered to look as good as new with a few stitches? Don’t hesitate to fix it and enjoy it for a longer time while also being more sustainable.
