A tote that doubles as the wrapping
Use this decorative tote in place of wrapping paper for holiday presents. According to aggregated customer reviews, the print is attractive enough to serve as the wrapping itself, so the bag can be reused after the gift is opened — turning one present into two.[1]
Everyday tote for errands and grocery runs
Use it as a sturdy everyday tote for errands and grocery runs. Based on customer reviews, the thick cotton canvas holds up to repeated hauling and the bag is easy to carry, though several reviewers found the straps too short to wear comfortably over the shoulder on many body types, making it mostly a hand-carry bag. Sizing runs mixed in reviews—some found it too small and others roomy—so how well it works depends on how much you typically carry.[1,2]
A nostalgic Quebec City keepsake
Keep this tote as a souvenir of Quebec City: the printed street scene of storefront facades along with the words "LA MAISON SIMONS" and "20, CÔTE DE LA FABRIQUE" depicts the Côte de la Fabrique storefront. In customer reviews, the illustration is said to trigger childhood and Quebec City memories for former residents and visitors, making it an emotional keepsake.[1,2]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| 20, Côte De La Fabrique Tote Bag Christmas Collection: Choose this if you want a nostalgic keepsake or reusable gift bag: it is a Simons Maison exclusive designed in Canada, with a winter pattern inspired by the first La Maison Simons store in Quebec City at 20 Côte de la Fabrique, and reviewers found its print attractive enough to serve as the wrapping itself. It is made of 100% recycled cotton canvas (about 18.5 inches tall, 15.75 inches long, and 3.5 inches wide), machine washable in cold water and hung to dry, and reviewers describe the thick canvas as holding up to repeated hauling for errands. Note that several reviewers found the handles too short for over-the-shoulder carry on many body types, and opinions on size vary from too small to roomy, so check the dimensions against what you plan to carry.[1] | Pyjama-Stripe Shopping Bag: Choose this for a lightweight, packable carry-all: per the reviews analysis, its oversized capacity fits a full grocery haul or beach gear without feeling heavy on the shoulder, and it folds flat into a handbag or suitcase for unexpected shopping trips. It is made of 75% recycled cotton and 25% recycled polyester, machine washes in cold water, and this Simons Maison design features thin two-tone stripes in a retro style with a choice of Patterned White or Navy/Midnight Blue colorways in one size. Reviewers describe the thin fabric as durable and easy to wash, though it is a coarse open-weave textile rather than a dense fabric.[3,4] |

Reversible pink/grey soft scarf for warmth
Soft cozy material; mauve pink on one side (not peach/pink) and grey on the other side with mauve pink dots. Lovely combo and goes better with cranberry/pink/cream coat than a peachy pink. Good for warmth and not too large

Super purchase!
I love the canvas tote bag! I used it as soon as it was delivered. It's roomy, and the straps are wide and long enough to wear over my shoulder. I had it loaded down quite heavily on that occasion, and it held up well. I also like the artwork of the simons storefront decorated for Christmas on the front of the bag.
Beautiful design
Let's face it, it's a recycled cotton bag, no different than a bunch you probably already own. The reason to buy this is the design. It's beautiful and embodies the warmth of the season. The print is high quality. I love it.
