Writer Emily Schuman aimed to create a stylish yet discount option for her veggie runs, hence her use of a [basic beige tote bag](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peach-tote-bag). Although the beige side purse began with plain fabric, she has dressed it up here with paint, stencils, scissors and tape.

In addition to being aesthetically pleasing, this post is also quite useful as the Tote Bag can be use over and over. And should one tire of the [navy and yellow stripes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/versatile-bags-for-essentials), they can of course be updated and re-imagined. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 57% | Activity: 26% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [DIY](https://www.trendhunter.com/diy) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Reusable DIY Grocery Garments:** Create personalized and reusable grocery garments through DIY methods. - **Stylish and Sustainable Shopping:** Combine fashion and sustainability by creating stylish reusable grocery garments. - **Customizable Bag Designs:** Experiment with unique designs and personalized touches for reusable grocery bags. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion and Accessories:** Fashion brands can explore eco-friendly alternatives by creating reusable grocery garments. - **Craft and DIY:** DIY enthusiasts can capitalize on the demand for reusable grocery garments by creating tutorials and selling related products. - **Retail and Grocery:** Grocery stores can collaborate with designers to offer reusable grocery garments as a sustainable option for shoppers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Fashion-Forward Grocery Totes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waitrose-x-lulu-guinness-tote.md) - [Functional Bookworm-Inspired Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/book-club-tote.md) - [Functional Grocer Tote Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trader-joes-totes.md) - [Woven Statement Totes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holst-lee1.md) - [Stylish Cooler Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tote-cooler.md) - [Bespoke Bakery-Inspired Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/croissant-bag.md) - [Limited Peach-Tonal Summer Totes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peach-tote-bag.md) - [Dutch Oven-Themed Tote Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/le-creuset-4.md) - [Posh Plastic Shopping Totes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tote-shopping-bag.md)
