Organic Cotton Tote Bags - More Than Just a Bag

TOMs FLOWer CLUB's organic cotton tote bags - sold under the name TAKE YOUR BAG - are GOTS and FAIRTRADE®-certified, available in more than 20 original designs, with worldwide shipping from Switzerland.

A good tote bag carries groceries. A great tote bag carries an idea.

Long before disposable shopping bags became normal, people simply carried their own bag. It travelled with them to the market, the bakery, the train station or on holiday. It was practical, reliable and used again and again. Today, that simple habit feels surprisingly modern.

Our TAKE YOUR BAG collection is a reminder that sustainability often begins with the smallest daily decisions.

The Story Behind TAKE YOUR BAG

TAKE YOUR BAG began as a simple idea: replacing single-use plastic and paper shopping bags with a durable, reusable organic cotton alternative that people actually want to carry.

TAKE YOUR BAG is not simply a collection of cotton tote bags.

It is a small statement about conscious living, thoughtful consumption and reducing unnecessary waste. Every time you leave the house with a reusable bag, you make one less disposable bag necessary.

The message is simple:

Before every shopping trip, every market visit, every journey - TAKE YOUR BAG.

What started as a practical object has become a symbol for carrying responsibility with us wherever we go.

Why Organic Cotton Matters

Organic cotton is grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, which reduces environmental impact during cultivation and results in a stronger, longer-lasting fabric than conventional cotton.

Not all cotton bags are equal.

Our bags are produced from certified organic cotton and selected according to the same philosophy that guides TOMs FLOWer CLUB's plant collection: quality before quantity.

Combined with durable construction and thoughtful design, the result is a bag intended for years of use rather than a single season.

A truly sustainable bag is not the one that is purchased most cheaply. It is the one that remains useful for many years.

Designed to Be Used

Each TAKE YOUR BAG tote is built for daily, practical use - shopping, commuting, carrying plants, books or travel essentials - not as a single-occasion accessory.

The best tote bags are rarely the most complicated ones.

They accompany us while shopping, carrying books, transporting plants, commuting to work, visiting local markets or travelling. Over time they become part of everyday routines and often develop a character of their own.

Many customers initially discover our bags because they appreciate the design. They continue using them because they appreciate the practicality.

Art, Design and Individual Expression

Every TAKE YOUR BAG design is created in-house by TOMs FLOWer CLUB, with each motif reflecting a different theme - from nature and botany to diversity, circular thinking and contemporary culture.

Some motifs celebrate nature, plants and creativity. Others explore themes such as diversity, circular thinking, human values or contemporary culture. The bag becomes more than a practical object; it becomes a subtle expression of personal values and interests.

In a world increasingly filled with disposable products, we believe everyday objects should have meaning.

Ethical Production You Can Trust

TAKE YOUR BAG totes are certified by GOTS, FAIRTRADE®, EarthPositive® and Certified Responsibility™, standards that verify fair working conditions, organic materials and environmentally responsible manufacturing.

Responsible products require responsible production.

These certifications help ensure responsible sourcing, fair working conditions and environmentally conscious manufacturing throughout the supply chain.

For us, sustainability is not a marketing trend. It is a long-term commitment to making products that people genuinely enjoy using.

Not Just for Shopping

Beyond grocery shopping, customers use TAKE YOUR BAG totes to carry plants, books, laptops and travel essentials - making them one of the more versatile reusable bag formats available.

Although often called shopping bags, reusable cotton tote bags have become one of the most versatile everyday accessories. Their simplicity is exactly what makes them so useful.

A well-made tote bag adapts effortlessly to changing lifestyles.

The TOMs FLOWer CLUB Philosophy

TAKE YOUR BAG follows the same quality-before-quantity philosophy that defines TOMs FLOWer CLUB's plant collection - favouring durable, thoughtfully designed products over disposable ones.

Visitors often discover TOMs FLOWer CLUB through unusual plants, orchids, succulents or botanical rarities.

The TAKE YOUR BAG collection follows exactly the same principle.

Whether carrying a rare plant home, visiting a local market or simply navigating everyday life, a reliable bag becomes a companion rather than an accessory.

TAKE YOUR BAG.
