DA TOTE
Our Chicago Tote honors the greatest city in the world and is made of sturdy canvas with webbed handles. It’s 14" × 14" and 3-1/2" deep, with a flat bottom: perfect for the Logan Square Farmers Market, The Printer’s Row Book Fest, a trip to Wax Trax, a haul from The Seminary Co-op, or bringing a lunch to Promontory Point, dinner to the Pritzker Pavilion, or sneaking a couple cold ones into Oak Street Beach. It’s screen-printed on both sides by our pals at Relish and the back side displays a handy list of Practical Applications.

Each tote comes with a matching 3-Pack of our hometown, graph-paper Chicago Edition Memo Books to record lists, quotes, and other “good information.”
