Cats Coffee and Books Tote Bag, Dark Academia Gift
A book lover tote sturdy enough for a library haul and pretty enough to be the gift itself. Made to order in more than one size, because one book was never going to be enough.
Absolutely beautiful bag! It was a gift to a friend and she loved it. Great quality and exactly what I was hoping for. May need to get one for myself now!

Description
A cats, coffee, and books tote bag in dark academia colors, printed edge to edge and built to carry a full stack of library books. It states the whole personality up front, arranged under a magical moon.
- All over print on both sides. The moonlit design wraps the whole bag rather than sitting in a small square.
- Medium weight 200 gsm polyester with double stitched seams, so it holds its shape under a full stack of books.
- Boxed corners and a non woven laminate interior give it structure and guard against spills.
- Three sizes with comfortable black cotton handles, made to order and shipped from the USA.
Give it to the night reader, the teacher, or anyone whose bookmark collection includes at least one whisker. Carry it to the coffee shop, the library, and home to the cat by moonrise.

A cats, coffee, and books tote for the whole personality
Dear nocturnal reader,
- Tired of pretending you have hobbies beyond these three?
- Still juggling the library haul in your arms at the car door?
- Want the evening routine stated plainly, moon included?
Most book totes are a plain bag with a stamp on one side. This one is printed on both sides..... the cat, the coffee, and the open book under a crescent moon, front and back.

Six reasons this is the nocturnal tote that gets carried
A tote only works as a gift if it leaves the house. This one leaves the house.
All over print
The design covers both sides, edge to edge. No blank back, no cheap look.
The whole personality, stated
A cat perched on an open book, one paw up after the stars, steaming mug alongside, all in cream on black under a crescent moon.
Room for the haul
A full stack of books, a water bottle, and the receipts you will ignore.
Everyday tough
