Tote bags are perfect for work. Three reasons why working men are increasingly graduating from business bags.

My name is Nakajima, and I am the store manager of the men's leather brand HushTug.

I have spoken to several thousand customers at the store, and the most common one is

"I'm looking for a tote bag that I can use as a business bag."

Why are so many people starting to choose tote bags instead of business bags?

This made me curious, so I decided to do some research and interview customers in-store.

Based on the opinions of customers who actually visited our store, we've compiled the top three reasons why people choose tote bags over business bags.

It seems that many people feel that it is better to have a business bag that can be carried on the shoulder than one that is carried in the hand (such as a briefcase).

Many people feel that their hands get tired easily when they put heavy items in a business bag.

It seems that many people are concerned about what their superiors or business partners think when it comes to business backpacks.

Regarding 2-way and 3-way business bags that can be used as shoulder bags or backpacks,

The results showed that many people (especially women) found them to be uncool.

Do dangling shoulder bag straps or backpack shoulder straps make them unstylish?

In that respect, business tote bags are

Another reason to choose a tote bag is that you can carry it around with you on days other than work.

I think this is a common thing for men, I don't want to change my bag depending on my outfit. There were many opinions like this.

・I don't want to spend that much on a bag. ・It's a hassle to change the contents.

That seems to be the main reason.

Business tote bags have a formal look and can be used for work, but the tote bag genre itself has a casual look,

First of all, the question arises: is it okay to use a tote bag for work?

"The only thing you can use at work is your own business bag."

This excludes companies with extremely strict rules such as those above, but generally you can assume that there will be no problems.

Among the customers I talk to in the store, there are some who work in serious professions, such as finance and real estate, and who have many business negotiations with clients.

From such customers

"My documents are heavy, so I want to carry them on my shoulder. A backpack is no good, but a genuine leather tote bag will do!"

The downside to choosing a business tote bag is the price.

Tote bags have many advantages, such as being able to be worn over the shoulder and being suitable for both formal and casual occasions, but the shape itself is a casual item.

Nylon and canvas materials are more casual, so if you're using it for work, you'll want the luxury of leather.

If you consider using it for daily work, genuine leather is preferable to synthetic leather, which deteriorates quickly and is prone to falling apart and peeling, so the price tends to be higher.

Actually, this tote bag is from HushTug, the store where I manage.

Among them, the one that has been highly praised by many people is "High cost performance" is.

HushTug manages everything from product production to sales in-house,

We are able to sell our products at about half the price of other genuine leather brands.

In addition, we offer peace of mind support, allowing you to return or exchange the product free of charge within one month of purchase, no matter how much you use it or for any reason.
