The popular Trader Joe’s mini canvas totes have sparked a frenzy on social media, with customers clamoring to get their hands on the coveted $2.99 bags. Available in four colors, the totes have become a hot commodity, with resellers taking advantage of the hype by selling them for much higher prices online.
Videos on social media show eager customers flocking to Trader Joe’s stores in search of the trendy totes, while TikTokers are customizing their bags with paint, buttons, and embroidery designs to make them unique.
A Trader Joe’s spokesperson revealed that the bags sold more quickly than anticipated and expressed that the company does not condone the reselling of their products. The combination of exclusivity and limited supply has contributed to the high demand and inflated prices on the secondary market.
This viral sensation is not unique to Trader Joe’s, as similar crazes in the past have included demand for items like Stanley cups. Despite the initial rush, Trader Joe’s mini totes have now sold out, but more are expected to arrive in stores in late summer.
For now, fans of the mini totes will have to keep a close eye on social media and Trader Joe’s announcements to snag one of these coveted bags when they become available again. Stay tuned to The Bib Theorists for updates on this hot trend and more.
