Market totes are commonly made from canvas, polypropylene, recycled nylon, plastic/vinyl, and polyurethane.
Closures include open/no-closure designs as well as zip closures, magnetic closures, and snap closures.
Most market totes have double top handles or double shoulder handles. Some models also include removable or adjustable shoulder straps (product listings sometimes specify maximum strap lengths).
Interior options range from open, no-pocket designs to bags with zip pockets, interior slip pockets, removable pouches, multiple compartments, and padded laptop compartments.
Market totes appear in several constructions, including soft-side, collapsible, hard-side, and unstructured designs.
