The Story Behind TotePets

Because separation anxiety (secretly) goes both ways

It actually started with a very simple but universal feeling: that little pang in your heart when you pull the front door shut behind you. You know, that moment when you catch one last glimpse of a pair of loyal brown eyes or a purring furball on the doormat, wondering why you're heading off on an adventure without them. Or in my case: I have rabbits, and that feeling isn't much fun. Especially not when I go on vacation...

Let's be honest: as proud 'pet parents', we're slightly obsessed. At least... I am! We're the people who pull out our phones at birthday parties without being asked. "Look, here he's sleeping. And here... he's eating a twig. Cute, right?"

We felt that love deserved to be seen. But we ran into a problem. Most ways to carry your pet with you were... well, let's put it kindly: not very stylish. Or they were those thin, floppy cotton bags that get holes the moment you put a carton of milk in them. I was simply looking for a cute bag with my sweet rabbit on it. I now have four rabbits, so you guessed it... a personalized bag for all four! Haha

That had to change.

We wanted a bag that's as reliable as a Labrador and as 'classy' as a pedigree cat. A bag that isn't just a pretty picture to look at, but also feels like a big, sturdy hug.

That's why we started TotePets. No compromises, just quality. We chose heavy, recycled cotton (300 gsm, for the experts!) that can take a beating. A bag big enough for your laptop, your groceries and that inevitable roll of dog treats. And most importantly: a stage for your best buddy.

With TotePets, you always have them with you a little, even when they're at home snoring on the couch.

Carry them with pride. Carry them close. (And yes, it's totally okay to talk to your bag.)

The team behind TotePets

Behind the scenes at TotePets, a small, driven team of creatives works with one shared 'quirk': we're completely crazy about our pets. We're the kind of people who get totally distracted during a serious meeting when a dog pops up on Instagram or Facebook.

Our division of tasks is clear. Our team takes care of the sleek designs, sourcing sustainable fabrics and carefully packing your order. Our own four-legged friends, the real CEOs of this company, take care of the daily inspiration, the mandatory walk breaks and strict quality control in the field of cuddliness. Did you know we also have our own office dog?

Together, we work with a smile every day to make TotePets that you (and your buddy) can be proud of.
