The archetypal tote is made of sturdy cloth, perhaps with thick leather at handles or bottom; leather versions often have a pebbled surface. Common fabrics include heavy canvas, possibly dyed, or treated to resist moisture and mold. Jute is another traditional material, though less popular. In recent decades, heavy nylon and other easy-care synthetics have become common, although these may degrade with prolonged sun-exposure. Many of today's inexpensive/free tote is often made from recycled matter, from minimally-processed natural fibers, or from byproducts of process that refine organic materials.
The term tote, meaning "to carry", can be traced back to the 17th century but was not used to describe bags until 1900. (wikipedia)
