Two totes of note

Metro columnist Jacquielynn Floyd may feel like a pioneer in the wilderness, but those cloth bags she insists on using instead of paper or plastic are the wave of the future. Here are two more, designed with foodies in mind.

The Dallas Farmers Market has a colorful, shallow-and-wide tote with the farmers market name on it and mesh panels. Neat, for $20. I saw it at Koster-Pastabilities next to El Mercado.

Whole Foods Market is selling a dual-purpose tote. First, it's a tote for a cause: The purchase price of each Feed 100 bag provides 100 school lunches to needy children in Rwanda. What's also nifty is the way it looks like a small burlap clutch, which unzips to reveal the all-cotton tote. The outside of the clutch becomes, a la Transformer, the bottom of the tote. Way cool for $29.99. (Then again, getting it back inside is kind of like repacking a parachute.)

We've got some cute ones at Flavors From Afar in Snider Plaza. I left a few with Cathy yesterday. http://www.flipandtumble.com/ Ours are $13.50 ($12 online but you have to pay to ship.) Very fun - using them always now!
