The Don’t Take Pictures Tote

We are excited to share the new Don’t Take Pictures tote bag! Our editors are always carrying around books, snacks, and copies of the magazine…now we do it in style!

A different design is printed on both sides of the 12 oz. canvas tote.
Natural canvas with black handles. 14.5in x 11.25in x 3in. 100% cotton canvas.

Carry the mantra with you: Don’t take pictures—make them!

The bags are screen-printed locally by the good folks at Pete's Print Shop in Brooklyn. The screen-printing process uses a negative, much like a photographic printing process, to place the design onto the bag. A negative of the design is printed onto a screen and placed against the fabric of the bag. Once the design is aligned correctly, thick inks are rolled over the screen. The ink seeps through the screen in the area where the design is printed, and the process is repeated by hand until all of the designs are printed.

Looking good

The tote fits nicely under your shoulder and can comfortably carry a laptop and all back issues of Don’t Take Pictures. Take it on the subway, take it to work, take it the beach, the farmer’s market—anywhere you need to go.

When you have purchased your bag, please send us photos of yourself with it to post on our Facebook page and Instagram account.
