TOTE-E BAGS FAQ 2014 CARNIVAL

Welcome to the TOTE-E FAQ. We invite you to read all information carefully

What is a Tote-E
As the name says it’s a bag to tote everything essential. It’s the extra item that completes the look of your costume.
What is the size of the Tote-E and what can it hold?
The Tote-E is typically 7 inches wide by 9 inches long and is comparable to a medium sized clutch bag. It can hold everything from your cellphone, camera, shades, keys, money, make up compact and lipstick, tablets.
What are the Tote-e’s made of and are they durable?
All Tote-E’s are neatly sewn fully lined bags made with durable material, just right for it to take jamming on the road. Whether or not you have your tote-e on Carnival Monday and Tuesday, or just Tuesday, or even order 2 Tote-E’s – one for each day- you are guaranteed a beautiful bag to match your costume
 What is the cost of the Tote-E?
The Tote-E’s price depends on the type of design and decoration on the bag. We do not supply undecorated bags.
Unlike previous years we DO not have the Basic Decoration Option anymore. ALL BAGS ARE FULLY LOADED NO MATTER WHICH STYLE YOU CHOOSE!! YAYYYY!!! The 3 styles of bags are
·         Wristlets (with zip and loop to fit around the wrist)                           
·         Drawstring (short or long cord option)                                                                            
·         Zip and long strap ( like a pocket book)  
                              
The Price range of these bags depends on the style selected, and the level of decoration. Prices for the drawstring (short cord long cord options) bags start at 135.00. Prices for the Zip and long strap and wristlet options start at 155.00 

What about the TOTE-E Collaboration with Boots by AFRO CHIC?

As a result of our creative collaboration with Boots by Afro Chic, we have had to change up things a little. We now  have 3 package Options from which to choose

The Silver Tote-E, the Gold Tote-E and the Platinum Tote-E

  • The Silver Tote-E package includes a drawstring bag (long or short cord/no inner pocket), with the option of selecting boots to match your bag
  • The Gold Tote-E package includes a wristlet or pocket book styled bag ( optional inner pocket) with the option of selecting boots to match your bag
  • the Platinum Tote-E package includes a fully loaded wristlet or pocket book styled bag with an inner pocket with Matching Boots ( we highly recommend this package :D)
Are there additional options for the Tote-E?
Yes there are additional options for the Tote-E. Please note that these incur additional costs.
·         Custom shapes like knapsacks, or cylindrical bags . No we do not do Fanny Packs

65 Days to Carnival....Do you have your Tote-E BAG YET?

So folks,
Christmas and Boxing days are over, and even though Christmas officially ends on January 6th, lets face it....DE TING START!!!!

Switching into real high gear is one thing, but your overwhelming support has been fantastic! I've been trying very hard to attend to each and every one of you, so I am asking your indulgence to exercise patience at this time :)

NB: I am no longer accepting orders for boots as the deadline for receiving them has passed. 

However you can still order your TOTE EVERYTHING Bags, and now your customized Monday Year. Yes, I'll be doing a limited quantity of decorated bras, swimsuits and corsets. They'll be designed to complement your costume, unless of course a request is made for something completely different.

Thanks to your inquires already, and I'm looking forward to doing some of your requested Monday Wear creations.



So now that we've shifted gears a bit, Keep your eyes on the facebook page, the blog and the twitter account as we continue to update. Who knows? a few surprises might well be in store ;)

TOTE-E? A pictorial.

Well by now you've heard all about TOTE-E Bags and what we have to offer, but I'm sure you're wondering exactly what is a pocket book styled bag, or a cross body drawstring bag, or even what size is the TOTE-E BAG

Now let me tell you, the TOTE-E ONLY comes in ONE SIZE. Why? because it was specifically designed. These measurements aren't random, they're based on an ergonomic ratio. And they are designed to hold as much as you need to take with you on the road. Keys, cell phone, camera, survival kit items (safety pins, pain killers, plasters) Make up compact, small mirror...and while I won't say the list is infinite, you get the idea.

The bag was meant to TOTE EVERYTHING!!!

As an avid masquerader who likes to make sure she has everything she needs with her on the road including a hairbrush, trust me when I tell you, this bag can hold A LOT of stuff :)

So here is this simple pictorial to help you see what the bags are like.


Our New Packages!!



Hey everyone! here is the updated post on our new package offerings for Tote-E bags for Carnival 2k14  :)


We HAVE LAUNCHED!!!!!!!!

YES!! I am happy to say that TOTE-E bags has official launched its Carnival 2k14 Campaign! And what's even better is that we are happy to be collaborating creatively with Afro Chic of Boots by Afro Chic!

This is the second launch video that has been prepared by yours truly, and I have to say it really sets the tone for something that I think is exciting and fresh! which is what TOTE-E bags is all about.

Those clients with whom I have dealt with over the past 2 years know that I am a stickler for detail, perfection and that I treat each and every bag as if it were my own. That definitely won't change but will be expanded to include all the other items which WE (Afro chic and I) will be customizing. So, if you want the real complete look of Matching boots and bag, blinged out cup, a corset or bra for monday wear or whatever accessory look you may want, CHECK US OUT!  Look out for further details regarding registration, etc!

In the meantime, enjoy the VIDEO! WE READY FOR DE ROADD!!!
