Custom Southern Sass Canvas Tote Bag

Some bags carry your stuff. This one carries your personality.

The Southern Sass Tote is a custom hand-embellished canvas tote — each one curated, assembled, and brought to life right here in Charleston. Every bag is a true one-of-a-kind, with custom patches and signature brooches layered onto a structured canvas tote built to last.

Carry it to the farmers market. The beach. The airport. Brunch with the friend who gets it. Wherever you go, it says everything before you do.

Built for the long haul. The base is from Shore Bags — a female-founded, female-owned company crafting sustainable, biodegradable canvas bags. The natural heavyweight cotton canvas holds its shape, the full nubuck leather bottom protects against wear, and the striped red-and-navy cotton webbing runs strap to strap for that unmistakable look. Spacious enough for your laptop, your weekend, or everything in between.
Curated, not mass-produced. Each bag features a different mix of embroidered patches and metal brooches hand-placed on canvas.

FAQs:

How is this different from other patch totes?
Most embellished totes are mass-produced with the
same patch placement on every bag. The Southern Sass Tote is hand-curated and assembled one at a time, with brooches added  — a detail unique to JuJu Loves and inspired by our jewelry roots. Every bag is one-of-a-kind.

How do I customize it?

As soon as we receive your order we will email you with a request to tell us your likes, dislikes, and style. We will pull together some options and send you photos. You will approve the design before we fabricate your custom tote. 

How big is the bag?

Approximately 15.5” long x 5.5” deep x 20” tall — large enough for a 15” laptop, beach essentials, or a packed day of errands. Structured enough to stand up on its own.

Is the base bag sustainable?
Yes. The canvas tote is made by Shore Bags, a female-founded and female-owned company committed to sustainable, biodegradable canvas bags. Supporting Southern Sass Totes means supporting two woman-owned businesses.

How do I care for it?
Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging, machine washing, or putting it in the dryer — this protects both the patches and the leather trim. With reasonable care, this bag is built to last for years.
