Design your own custom tote bag with photos, typography, an array of fabrics, custom pockets, and more with the help of the small shops on Etsy. By exploring creative customization options, your totes will be transformed into personalized accessories that are versatile, functional, and unique. Let all of the following ideas spark your imagination for designing personalized tote bags:


  • Personalization: Designers on Etsy have options to add your favorite photos or children’s artwork to grocery tote bags. Or add your favorite quotes, a name, or other meaningful graphics and typography to a photo tote bag.
  • Fabric selection: Go beyond the traditional printed canvas tote bags and experiment with a variety of fabrics, from luxurious materials like velvet, suede, and brocade to natural fibers such as cotton, hemp, or jute. Consider combining fabrics, textures, and patterns for one-of-a-kind tote bag designs. For example, try mixing a bold floral print with soft chambray, or pair plush faux fur with sleek vegan leather.
  • Handle customization: Tailor the handle length on a large tote bag to give yourself an over-the-shoulder bag, or opt for short, sturdy handles for a chic, small tote bag.
  • Interior lining: Elevate your cotton tote bag or handbag tote purse with a silk or satin lining for some elegance or a bright patterned fabric such as playful polka dots, geometric prints, or monochromatic stripes.
  • Color blocking: Play with color by designing striking color-blocked branded tote bags. Add badges or embroidery patches that reflect your brand or personal aesthetic.
  • Embellishments: Adorn mini canvas tote bags with eye-catching embellishments that make a bold statement. This may be vibrantly colored patches, intricate lacework, or elegant beading that reflects your style. Attach fringes, tassels, or pom-poms for a bohemian vibe, or go with metal studs and rivets for an urban look.
  • Pockets: Decide what type of inside and outside pockets you want in your printed, colored, or white tote bag to enhance its functionality. A tote bag with pockets may have slip pockets, zippered compartments, magnetic closures, a water bottle pocket, or a laptop sleeve.
  • Custom closures: Many sellers on Etsy offer options for closures, including buckles, magnetic snaps, metal clasps, or drawstrings.
