Trader Joe’s fans, mark your calendars. The grocery store chain unveiled a new mini tote.
The craze-causing viral tote will return to Trader Joe’s later this month, in four different striped pastel colors: green, pink, blue and brown.
The mini totes — which have previously sent customers into a frenzy — are 11 inches long by 6 inches wide and 13 inches high, and come in a heavy duty 65% cotton and 35% polyester blend.
“The size is ideal for smaller shopping trips, to pick up those few items you forgot the first time around” reads a press release from Trader Joe’s. “Just be sure to pick up a Tote while you can — supplies are limited.”

During the height of mini tote mania, hundreds of listings appeared on eBay, Facebook Marketplace and other e-commerce platforms, with resale prices ranging between $5 and $500 each — nearly 200 times its retail price, according to CNN.
In response to demand, knockoff Trader Joe’s mini totes began circulating online. The grocery chain is aware of the counterfeit bags, and recently filed a lawsuit to protect customers from being misled, the company told People.
“At Trader Joe’s, it’s very important to us that our customers are getting what they’ve paid for. That’s one of the reasons we only offer Trader Joe’s products for sale inside Trader Joe’s stores. This enables us to put our customers first, ensuring they’re getting authentic Trader Joe’s products,” the company said.
Since the first mini tote launch, Trader Joe’s has released or re-released the viral product several times, including the debut of insulated, pastel and Halloween-themed versions.
