ORIGINAL DEANO TOTE LARGE The tote bag that started it all – our original design – remains our #1 best-seller year after year for a reason! This versatile open-top tote is ideal for carrying pretty much everything (work stuff, beach/pool stuff, sports stuff). 19” W x 15” H x 10” D
ORIGINAL DEANO TOTE SMALL Not too big, not too small, this just-the-right-size tote has an open top and an interior zipper pocket. The structured design stands up on its own and is perfect for small grocery trips, carrying books to class, or toting road trip essentials. Lengthy straps offer comfortable carrying, even when the bag is full. 12” W x 13” H x 6” D

BEN POCKET TOTE With five pockets in all, this tote is perfect for keeping you organized on the go. Durable, lightweight, and structured, this bag is wellsuited for multiple uses. Teachers and nurses love it for work. Town & Country called it “the beach bag you’ve always dreamed of.” Women rave about it being a great weekend bag or carry-on. 18.5” W x 14” H x 8.5” D
UPTOWN POCKET TOTE This structured everyday bag has a slim profile that carries close to the body while fitting files, a laptop, lunch, water bottle, and anything else you need to slay your day. Thanks to four large outside pockets, this sturdy, lightweight bag is a popular pick for moms, teachers, students, and nurses. 16” W x 12” H x 5.5” D

BAGETTE MARKET TOTE You won’t find a bigger, better, stronger, or cuter bag for your daily bread. No double bagging necessary. The Bagette has a big square bottom and holds 2x as much as typical grocery bags. Two sets of straps set it apart from the pack. Keep in your car trunk at all times and prepare for compliments from fellow shoppers. 12.5” W x 14.5” H x 12” D
ROCKET POCKET TOTE This top-seller has the most pockets, seven in all, of any bag we sell, making it a dream bag for those who like to compartmentalize! From water bottles to pens/pencils to tennis balls, you name it - there’s a place for everything and everything in its place. 15” W x 14.5” H x 5” D

PLUS 1 TRAVEL BAG Two bags in one! The Plus 1 is a brilliant and versatile travel partner. The soft quilted tote folds up inside the zipper pouch for transport/storage (stash in your suitcase for destination shopping and to bring back souvenirs). When the tote is in use, the pouch snaps inside to become a pocket. In a pinch, the Plus 1 also makes a great travel pillow! 22.5” W x 14.5” H x 7” D
3 BOYS ZIP TOTE X-LARGE Ridiculously lightweight and amazingly durable, this extra-large tote lets you fit everything you need in ONE bag. A favorite for beach/pool, travel, seasonal storage (they stack nicely), moving day, and more. The U-shape zipper makes it easy to fill to the brim, compress, and zip shut. Checkable at the airport too! 21.25” W x 17” H x 11” D

WEEKENDER TRAVEL BAG Our team’s favorite carry-on bag since 2010, the Weekender is deceptively spacious, ultra-lightweight, and designed to be smushed under the seat in front of you, in the overhead bin, or in your car trunk for road trips. Our co-founder has packed for 10-day overseas trips in this (really!). 24.5” W x 14.5” H x 12” D
DAYTRIPPER TOTE Not too big, not too small, the light-as-a-feather Daytripper fits more than you can imagine but never weighs you down. Loved as a carry-on, a personal beach bag, or a purse/handbag for running daily errands, the square base makes it easy to pack in a lot and still find what you’re looking for. Folds (nearly) flat as a pancake for storage or travel. 19” W x 11.5” H x 9” D

(Almost) too cute to regift. In fact, many people use them as an extra day-to-day bag for all kinds of uses.

STIFF ONE COOLER Bring the entire party, literally, in this large, soft cooler. It can fit 30 cans (plus ice packs), with outside pockets. The hard, reinforced bottom stands up to any surface while the soft sides allow you to carry all your snacks and drinks far more comfortably than with a heavy, bulky, hard-sided cooler. 14.25” W x 12.5” H x 9” D
PLEASURE CHEST COOLER The perfect size for outings, road trips, or a 12-hour shift, this tall, square cooler is a great shape for stacking containers. Stash napkins and utensils in the outside pockets for quick access. Because it squishes flat in your suitcase, we love the Pleasure Chest for travel, and it makes a great leave-behind hostess gift. 9” W x 12.5” H x 9” D

PACKIN’ HEAT TOILETRY BAG Pack all your makeup, hair, or travel accessories in a single place with this very spacious, versatile bag. The interior slip pocket brings order to smaller things, like bobby pins, cotton balls, and hair ties. Roomy enough to fit your regular hairbrush (yay!). 9.75” W x 7” H x 3.75” D
NOONER LUNCH BAG Everyone loves our Nooner. Our most popular lunch bag, it’s wide at the bottom for easy loading, and fits nicely inside most SCOUT totes. The outside pocket is perfect for napkins and utensils, energy bars, or other treats. Also makes a great insulated sunscreen bag for hot summer days. 14.25” W x 8” H x 6” D
