Our Sustainable Story

Discover how EcoTotes is revolutionizing the way we carry our world while protecting the planet we love.

From Passion to Purpose

Founded in 2018 by environmental activists Sarah and Michael, EcoTotes began as a small project to reduce plastic bag waste in their local community. What started with just five handmade tote designs has grown into a movement that spans continents.

After witnessing the devastating effects of single-use plastics during their travels, the founders committed to creating beautiful, functional alternatives that people would be proud to use every day. Each EcoTote is designed to replace hundreds of disposable bags while making a style statement.

Today, we partner with artisans across the globe who share our commitment to ethical production and environmental stewardship. Every tote tells a story - of sustainability, craftsmanship, and conscious living.
