Tote bags have become one of the few ways we showcase our personality with the prints that adorn the front of them. We choose a bag that has our favourite TV shows, music, quotes, and artwork on the front to let the world know what they might find in common with us. On top of that, the eco-friendly materials used to make these only make the decision to purchase one even easier. So, if you have been looking to get one for yourself or as a present for a loved one, here are 5 woman-led brands that will offer a myriad of choices in their range of eco-friendly tote bags.
1. Feb & Flowers by Zara Naqvi
Zara Naqib’s longtime hobby of painting, and her love for everything floral has manifested into her brand, Feb & Flowers.
