the story behind the tote
In May 2021, I found myself in a slight funk. Living and working from home, during a pandemic and its dreadful lockdowns + no-movement days, was at times mundane and uninspiring. One afternoon, I stumbled upon a tote bag on Pinterest and felt inclined to create one for myself. I painted a tote bag with evil eyes of varying sizes. This bag unlocked pandora's box and spurred on a hobby and stress-reliever that eventually became a problem - I had way too many totes to keep for myself!
I am so excited to embark on this new chapter and share my Totes with the world, the official launch of our Miles Guide Shop.
​
Our hand-painted tote bags are 100% made in Jamaica with a durable and long-lasting cotton canvas material. Each tote is unique, one-of-a-kind and the perfect way to express yourself whether travelling, staycationing or running errands.

care instructions
To protect the hand-painted design on your tote, it is recommended to spot clean or gently hand wash the tote inside out.
​
Additionally, do not tumble dry or dry clean. Do not apply bleach to the bag. Use a dry iron on the cotton setting with a pressing cloth to protect the painted area. For any further queries, don't hesitate to contact me via email at shopmilesguide@gmail.com.
