About This Item

This DipaliZ tote bag is an all-over-print shopper carrying an original illustration of a stacked pile of books beside a cup of tea. The line "I Read Books Like It’s My Job" runs with the artwork. The tote is sold in three square sizes and three colorways. It suits library trips, book club nights and carrying rather more paperbacks than you meant to borrow.

The story behind this design

The books are drawn as a leaning stack rather than a neat one, spines facing out in mismatched colors so the pile looks lived in. A steaming cup sits at the base of the stack, which is the detail that turns a picture of books into a picture of an afternoon. The lettering is set in a plain typewriter face, a nod to the joke that reading is the job.
