Together Bags

Once we started getting into grocery shopping bags, we realized how useful it is to have super lightweight, easy totes. The first step was using the bags for all types of shopping: the drugstore, Target, office supplies, anything. They're so handy at the newsstand when feeding a magazine habit. On busy days, the shopping tote doubled as a bag-overflow bag. In it went an extra tube of sunscreen and a hat for sunny days outside or an umbrella and gloves for cozy fall adventures.

We realized we were using the shopping bags as proxy accessories and wanted to take them a step further, to have the bag itself declare what's going on. So we ended up with a surreal design that references luxury but ultimately works as an anti-status status symbol.
