Gifts Cards

In 2025 I made an everyday tote for my personal use.  I wanted something, not too big, to hold my kindle, wallet, keys, small water bottle etc. Juggling a purse and multiple small objects was an invitation to disaster.  It worked perfectly.  I decided to make a few more, and that is how my ‘Totes by Tere started.  Each everyday tote is 12” wide X 7.5” high X 5” deep, has two large interior pockets and an attached key holder.   

After seeing the everyday totes,  several ladies in the Cascades asked me to make a ‘Mini Tote’ for them.  Something just big enough for their keys, phone, sunglasses etc. These are now an available option., the size is 7”x5”x3.5”.   

That led to requests for  an adjustable strap ‘crossbody’ Mini Tote for those who would like to keep both hands free i.e. when walking their dog.  In 2026 the crossbody design has evolved and now has a  tab closure with a magnetic snap, a credit card holder and extra pockets.  

Here is a photo of the difference in size between the ‘Everyday Tote’ and the ‘Mini Tote’:
