The official birthplace of the tote bag as we know it today was during the 1940s in the United States. Iconic Maine-based outdoor brand L.L.Bean debuted their “ice bag” in 1944. Still recognisable today, the large, boxy bag was cut from heavy canvas. It was created, as the name suggests, to transport ice from the car to the freezer. The bag was a hit, and people realized how useful such a sturdy, versatile bag could be. And now every fashion brand on the market has jumped on the band-wagon to charge you a fortune for a simple canvas bag.
