Snap Totes: Personalized Photo Purses, Bags, and Totes
Wednesday, April 28, 2010 Posted by The Mom Jen


When I'm out and about, I often run into friends that want to see photos of my 3 children. I don't typically carry pictures with me anymore now that the kids are older and the first thing I thought of when I saw these bags was, "now I'll always have a photo to show off!" as well as having a unique, fabulous bag!

How do you order? It's easy!
Choose a bag.
We offer more than 2 dozen handbag styles with your choice of strap, liner, color and more. Browse through our gallery to get an idea of you style, then zoom in to choose design elements.
Add your photo.
It's easier than you think. All of our bags are designed to work best with standard 4x6 photos. So just find a snapshot you love and send it in. We'll do the rest.
Or, spend about 15 minutes and we'll walk you through the process step by step. Just upload your photo (or file), use the tools to position, crop, edit and color correct, and get a first look at your new bag.
Order and Enjoy!
Once you have designed your bag and supplied an image, provide us with your payment information and place your order. You will receive an order confirmation within 2 hours and your custom photo bag, wallet, or pillow should arrive within 3 weeks.
My Take: I cried happy tears when I opened my package from SnapTotes! The picture I chose is one of my recent very favorites that we actually used on our Christmas cards in '09. I saw the bag and was overjoyed how amazing it was. The photo was so crisp and clear and the bag was enormous!
I received The New Gigi bag ($135):
- Zipper closure top
- 3 Compartment with Center Divider Pocket
- 13.5"W x 10"H x 4.75"D
- 7" zipper pocket and two interior pockets
- Top grain leather trim and handles
- Metal feet
A bonus feature that is so smart is a clip for your keys sewn into the bag! How many times do you lose your keys in your purse? Me, about 3 times a day.

I chose the red floral panels on each side for some added color since I used a black and white picture.
There are two fabulous pockets perfect for my phone and my iTouch. Two zippered pockets and two LARGE sections for taking everything you need including your wallet, makeup bag, water bottle (juice cup for the littles), snacks, and more!

I'm above and beyond impressed by SnapTotes. I've gotten fabulous compliments and also get to show off my beautiful children to boot. It exceeded my expectation for custom photo bags!
SnapTotes recently introduced a design service. We are hoping this feature will be helpful for those who do not feel artistically inclined to create a bag from scratch. Please check this out at http://www.snaptotes.com/contest/snaptotes-custom-bag-design-service.aspx .

Ha, these are great! Love the pet photo bags especially -- they're both a little quirky and a nice tribute to our beloved four-legged friends. Thanks for sharing - definitely a great gift option for Mother's Day!

I have always wanted to make one of these purses with a picture of my three girls on it- maybe I should just do it! :)

These look really high quality. I remember when products with photos printed on them first became available. They looked nothing like this!

How cute!!! I bet the grandmothers would love these!

When I first saw these I didn't like them. I'm more of a solid color purse style. But the more I looked the better I like them. They would be really cute with very casual outfits.

It turned out beautiful & would make a fabulous gift for any mom or grandma!
