Thing is I forgot to put pics of my first ever craft market Bits and Pieces held at the Movietowne Banquet Center on November 3rd.


I was hoping people would take advantage of coming to register for their Carnival Tote-E's, and a few did! So I want to thank them for coming and I look foward to designing their bags.

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)

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.
