The Mercado Tote

A vibrant market tote for mid-week grocery runs.

More than just a simple bag. La bolsa del mandado (or “errand” bag) is a staple across Latin America. These market totes emerged as a solution for carrying produce and goods throughout the energetic and busy markets of Latin America. The design has been around for over a century, replacing the tenates (wicker baskets) originally made of palm leaves and jute with a more colorful, durable alternative.

Our bags are made from 100% recycled extra-durable woven poly mesh plastic that’s tear-resistant, yet flexible enough for squeezing in that extra bunch of carrots. Stow in your car for shopping trips, picnics, and visits to the beach. Each is roomy enough for a medium-sized market haul (think eggs, bread, a couple of tomatoes and a few heads of lettuce). Waterproof and stain-resistant, these market totes are easy to clean – simply rinse with water.
