・Tote bags are a staple fashion item. LL Bean is said to be the originator of the tote bag. In the days before refrigerators, people would put ice in a wooden box called an ice chest as a substitute for a refrigerator to keep things cool. LL Bean tote bags were developed as a bag to carry that ice. Initially, tote bags were used as practical items, but in the 1960s, they evolved into fashion items by using leather materials and offering a wide range of colors. Because they are large-capacity, sturdy, and easy to use, they attracted the attention of students who carried notebooks and textbooks, and began to be used as school bags and became an essential bag for housewives to use when shopping, evolving into one of the "fashion items that blend into everyday life." LL Bean tote bags, which were popular in the United States, arrived in Japan in the 1990s. Now they are recognized as casual and practical fashion items and are loved by people all over the world.
