Unlike the viral canvas mini totes, the insulated bags are designed to keep items cold or hot.
WASHINGTON — Trader Joe’s is release another mini tote bag ahead of the summer season.
The new mini insulated tote bags will be released later this month on May 20, but supplies are limited. The bags will have a 1.5-gallon capacity and come in six different colors, including pink, blue, orange, lavender and striped patterns.
The mini totes will retail for $3.99, according to Trader Joe’s. The bags feature a zipper top and two reinforced handles.
“Many of our customers have also found that they make quite a statement when used to carry your lunch along to school or work, too.,” a spokesperson for the popular grocery store said in a statement.
Unlike the canvas mini totes, the insulated bags are designed to keep items cold or hot.
In 2024, the launch of the mini canvas tote bags spiraled as videos shared on social media showed crowds of customers waiting to get their hands on the highly-coveted tote bags. The bags were originally released in red, blue, green and yellow.
Trader Joe’s has released iterations of the mini canvas tote bags through the seasons, including Halloween-inspired bags and spring pastel options.
The spring colors made waves last year with third-party reseller sites like eBay selling a pink bag listed at $999.99.
Trader Joe’s describes the tote bags as “ideal for smaller shopping trips — the kind where you’re just picking up something for lunch, or grabbing those items you forgot the first time around.”
