HOLIDAY DEADLINES: For U.S. delivery of a custom tote, order by December 9. (We can't control the carriers and therefore can't guarantee delivery, but will do absolutely everything in our power to get it to you by December 24th!)

Carry your favorites with you all the time, so everyone can see them! It makes a great conversation starter. All you have to do is pick your favorite books from our list using the search field above. You can also browse the full book list here.


PLEASE NOTE: Usually about 13 to 16 books fit best on a tote (meaning they will be large enough for the titles to be legible, etc.), if they are normal contemporary novels. If you're picking thin children's picture books instead, then choose the full 20 books, and if they are thick epic novels from the 1800s, probably 12 is plenty.
  • Made of thick, natural 100% cotton canvas 
  • The bag is 14.5" wide x 15.5" tall
  • The handles are 21" long with reinforced stitching
  • Based on original work by Jane Mount
  • Lukewarm hand wash only
Please see the tabs below for more details on lead time and more!

PLEASE NOTE: In the field for "Name or initials of the Book Picker", please enter the name or initials of the person whose favorite books those are. It is just for Jane's naming convention and won't appear anywhere on the tote.

Lead Time

Custom totes are designed by Jane and printed on demand, and usually take 2-3 weeks to ship, and if you add a book(s), that can add up to a week. But let us know if you have a specific deadline you're hoping to meet and we'll try our best to make it happen!

Book Orientation & Arrangement

On totes the books fit best lined up next to each other (instead of stacked on top of each other), perhaps with a few stacked on top of the row, depending on how many you choose. Jane will use the editions of books (if there are multiple possibilities) that look best together, and will arrange them in the most aesthetically pleasing way. If you would like Jane to use a particular edition of a book you have seen in another one of her prints, please describe the spine AND tell us which print you saw it in.

Printing Quality

Custom totes are direct-to-garment printed, and so the inks blend with the natural canvas of the bag and are slightly less clear than on paper.

Gift Certificates & Other Options

If the tote will be a gift and you would rather let the recipient pick their own favorite books, you can purchase a Gift Card for a Custom Tote instead.

Jane can also make an archival print, a notebook, a phone case, a tea towel, or a mug of your favorites, please see here for all the options.

Wonderful and unique

I sent my daughter a tote and notebook for her birthday and she was thrilled with them. I have many friends who are bibliophiles, and I intend to have other gifts made by Ideal Bookshelf. Thank you!!
