5 Things to Look for in a Quality Custom Monogram Bag
Custom monogram bags are fashionable, functional items. They provide a means of carrying your belongings while keeping you in style. Custom monogram totes give you a blank canvas on which to express your unique personality. They also make a thoughtful gift for friends and family.
When buying a custom monogram bag, it is important to consider the factors that set it apart as a quality choice. Consider these five features to look for in a quality custom monogram bag, and find out why Threadwell’s personalized tote bags meet your needs.
Durability
Quality custom tote bags have a high durability factor. They are made of materials that make them resistant to damage, wear and tear, and abrasion.
Canvas is the most common textile choice for tote bags. Canvas is made of plain-woven cotton, linen, and synthetic fibers. These synthetic fibers are interwoven with heavy cotton threads, creating an extremely durable fabric. Canvas’ reputation for durability makes it a popular choice for sails, shoes, bags, paintings, and furniture coverings.
When you choose a tote bag, pick one made of a durable material like canvas. Tote bags made of canvas are sturdy yet pliable. They hold their shape and carry heavier items like water bottles, lunch containers, makeup, or food without sagging or ripping.
Threadwell’s Canvas Carry All is the perfect classic tote bag. It’s stylish, functional, and durable, and made of 18 oz. canvas. This blank cream-colored tote is the perfect space on which to add a colorful embroidered monogram.
Craftsmanship
The mark of a quality monogram tote bag is in the bag’s craftsmanship. Craftsmanship extends from the bag itself to the embroidery on the outside. If the bag has a zippered closure, check if all the teeth align and if the manufacturer has used double stitching as reinforcement. Choose a bag with a tightly woven canvas that holds its shape and is free from frays, tears, or other indicators of poor quality.
Along with tote construction, assess the bag’s embroidery craftsmanship. Look at the seller’s featured items to get a sense of their embroidery expertise. Read about their company to understand their experience and approach to customization and embroidery.
Quality companies, like Threadwell, share their passion for embroidery and design and provide plenty of examples of their superior embroidery skills for you to look at before deciding on your personalized items.
Functionality
A quality tote bag serves a functional purpose in addition to looking stylish. A quality tote bag can be used for many purposes, including:
- Carrying wine or spirits to an adult gathering
- Carting school or craft supplies
- Transporting gym or sports clothing
- Bringing food and drink to a picnic or luncheon
- Serving as a travel bag for weekend trips
- Conveying belongings on a camping trip
- Storing makeup, pencils, fingernail polish, or other small items
- Keeping books or papers safe from the weather
- Hauling towels, swimsuits, and sunscreen to the beach
The weather-proof Rain Tote is a quality example of a functional, stylish tote bag. It is made of truck tarp material to keep the rain off your belongings and provides a colorful space for a personalized vinyl pressing.
The Avery Jumbo Tote is perfect for hauling any number of items whenever they need to go. Made of thick canvas material, this bag is treated to be stain-resistant and antimicrobial. It also features a reinforced bottom that helps to keep your books, food, clothes, or makeup organized.
Special Features
Quality tote bags include special features that make the bag easy to pack up and hassle-free to use. Many totes offer plenty of storage space for your important items. Cheap totes might look cute and serve their purpose, but high-quality bags anticipate your needs with multiple pockets, reinforced bottoms and sides, and adjustable or removable straps you can alter as needed.
The Advantage Tote is designed with storage in mind. The leather handles make it easy to grab and go, and the two inside pockets give you a place to secure smaller items within the larger open space in the middle.
The camo Camp Tote highlights convenience with its D-rings that allow you to add removable, adjustable straps. The Insulated Carry All provides a convenient insulation feature that helps keep your food items fresh throughout the day. Just put an ice pack inside the silver insulated lining, and your food will stay cold for hours.
