I adore canvas tote bags. This is an issue, considering that the whole "tote bag concept" is supposed to be about combating waste by reusing a canvas bag rather than tossing yet another plastic one.

But if, like me, you've never seen a canvas bag with a witty message or delightful print you didn't like, your closet may now be a touch overstocked. The whole idea of reusing a tote bag is fast becoming a moot point for me because truth be told I have enough to use a new bag every day of the week!

Thank you for listening to my confession. I need to go off-set some carbon emissions now. 

But before I go, please enjoy tote bag number 7, "Green & Gorgeous", made of natural linen with a jute handle and an irresistible bright green message. Available from Vivre for $28. I'm on a bag diet until further notice. Thank goodness for web-window shopping.
