The Thriving (Mostly) Tote Bag

What is it?

The Thriving (Mostly) Tote Bag is a very large, very honest carry-all for people who are holding it together… more or less.

Featuring the wonderfully relatable “thriving, surviving, with a lil’ bit of crying” illustration, this tote is equal parts humour, chaos, and quiet resilience. Big enough for your daily essentials, your coping mechanisms, and whatever the day throws at you.

Because sometimes thriving looks a lot like surviving. And that still counts.

Why you’ll love it

This tote gets it.

It’s oversized, spacious, and built for real life. The kind where you’ve got plans, snacks, a notebook, and possibly a minor existential crisis all in one bag.

The design is playful but painfully accurate. It says what we’re all thinking, just with better typography and a very cute cat.

Functional, expressive, and just the right amount of unhinged.

Who it’s for

• People navigating life one to-do list (and one sigh) at a time
• Students, creatives, and “I’ll do it later” professionals
• Office workers who deserve a soft launch into burnout recovery
• Anyone who laughs through the chaos
• Fans of honest, slightly dramatic accessories

Details

• Large canvas tote bag with sturdy construction
• Spacious main compartment for books, notebooks, and daily essentials
• Comfortable shoulder straps for everyday use
• “Thriving, surviving, with a lil’ bit of crying” illustration with a chaotic-cute cat

Styling ideas

Looks great with:

• Casual outfits and oversized layers
• Coffee-in-hand, slightly overwhelmed energy
• Office wear that needs a bit of personality
• Study days, creative sessions, and “getting my life together” moments
• Anywhere you’re doing your best, which is frankly enough

Gifting note

A brilliant gift for that friend who is absolutely fine (they are not fine), the colleague who deserves a laugh, or anyone navigating life with humour and a bit of grace.

Also a perfect self-gift. You’re doing better than you think. Even if the tote disagrees slightly.
