General Questions

 

What is The Teacher Tote?

  • The Teacher Tote is a tote bag designed with the teacher in mind! There are pockets to contain all of your needs! Two outer side pockets can hold your liquid containers (coffee, water, etc), while a zippered front pocket perfectly fits your cell phone. Open up the bag and you will find an insulated lunch box; built right into the bag! There is also a middle zippered compartment to safely store your laptop, as well as a side flap for those papers that you swear you'll grade when you get home! Several other pockets for pens, small office supplies, your wallet and even a key ring will make this the most convenient all-in-one bag you own!

Who is it for?

  • Contrary to the name, The Teacher Tote is NOT just for teachers! Anyone looking for the perfect all-in-one bag that has a place for everything would LOVE The Teacher Tote.

What is the best way to care for my Teacher Tote?

  • The Teacher Tote is made from durable material and can be wiped down with a soft damp cloth. Stains can be treated with some mild soap and warm water. Gently wipe the spot and allow to air dry. The handles are made from genuine leather and should not be washed. For stubborn odors, we suggest sprinkling baking soda on the affected area and allowing the bag to air out. 

Is the Teacher Tote waterproof?

  • The body of the bag is made from durable, waterproof nylon. The handles are made from genuine leather, so we do not recommend intentionally getting them wet, but we've used our bags in all kinds of rainy and snowy weather and they still look brand new! 

How much can the Teacher Tote hold?

  • Our tote can hold A LOT, and it can be tempting to overload it, but we recommend filling it with the amount that you personally feel comfortable carrying. We recommend loading your bag up to 20 pounds worth of your belongings. 

What size laptop can fit in my Teacher Tote?

  • The padded laptop compartment of Teacher Tote has an opening of 13.5 inches. Please see our video on how to measure your laptop to see if it will fit. Larger laptops can also be stored in the large front or back pockets of the tote! 

I love my insulated compartment, what is the best way to use it? 

  • We recommend using the insulated compartment to transport food to and from your workplace.  If you are keeping your food in the compartment for the whole day, we recommend using icepacks to keep your food fresh. The food compartment can be washed by dampening a soft cloth with soap and water and wiping clean. Allow to air dry.
