Wearing slogans on bags is a public way to share individual beliefs and convictions. Bags have long provided a canvas for political, social, personal and artistic concepts and mottos. Thanks to their visibility, they can communicate compelling statements, from support for the anti-slavery movement to declarations of love.
Today the affordable, versatile and ubiquitous canvas tote bag produced for businesses, charities and other organisations has become a powerful vehicle for promoting ideas. Some have even become unexpected 'It bags', such as The New Yorker’s version offered free with a magazine subscription [T.269-2019].
