Accessories: martha stewart tote {and a giveaway}

Even if you don’t travel that often, you may be like me and use a tote bag almost every day. I have lots of tote bags but none of them are designed for my work needs. I usually end up tossing in all my goodies into one of my large tote bags – even my laptop. The items above are just some of the things that I usually “tote” around with me.




So when I got this note and two tote bags from Martha Stewart Home Office with Avery, I was pretty darn excited. This new line of totes and cases has all the attributes that Martha Stewart looks for in a tote. And if it’s good enough for Martha it’s way good enough for me.


I received the grey vertical laptop tote and the small black tote. I decided to road test the grey laptop tote and give away the small black tote to one of you.




The vertical tote is perfect for me. There’s zippered pockets on the outside and inside. Compartments for all my gizmos and of course, a padded laptop compartment.


I love that it’s designed vertically. It doesn’t feel as bulky when you carry it and I’m less likely to bang my laptop into things since it’s not wide. The handles are the perfect length to fit comfortably over my shoulder and drop down under my arm.

Check out all the features and things you could fit into this tote.

I filled up my tote with my everyday items; laptop, notebook, pen, extra scarf and water bottle. Everything fit perfectly and there’s plenty more room for additional items.

Here’s the tote I’m giving away. It’s the small black horizontal tote.

It’s so pretty. Honestly, I wanted to keep it. And although it’s called the small tote it’s actually quite large measuring 17” x 12” x 7-3/4”. It’s made of water- and stain-repellant canvas for easy cleaning, stands upright and has a roomy interior with multiple pockets for your tablet, smartphone, keys, pens, and other items. And the sides of the bag unsnap and expand for additional storage.

The Martha Stewart Home Office with Avery Totes and Cases are available exclusively Staples and Staples.com.
