- Trader Joe’s released a new pastel striped version of its viral mini canvas tote bag.
- The bags are available in stores only, with stock varying by location and expected to sell out quickly.
- Trader Joe’s does not endorse resale, though past tote drops have appeared on sites like eBay.
If you, like me, frequent your local Trader Joe's, then you’re familiar with the incredibly long lines of customers waiting to buy the grocery chain’s tote bag releases. And even if you don’t frequent one, you’ve probably heard about these events on social media at some point.
The lines may be long and chaotic, but I have to admit I get it. Not only are these bags an environmentally friendly way to carry your groceries home, but they’re also incredibly cute. They come in different colors, making them a dream for collectors. If you missed the past couple of drops, then you’ll be happy to know that Trader Joe’s just released a new version of the mini canvas tote bag.
I didn’t think it was possible for the bags to get cuter, but they sure did! The new bags have stripes and come in a variation of pastels, which give the best coastal grandma vibes for summer.
How can I get the new Trader Joe’s mini tote bag?
The new Trader Joe’s mini tote bags dropped on June 17, 2026, and you can get one by heading to your local store to check availability in person. Since these releases tend to sell out quickly, it’s best to go early and ask a crew member whether the striped pastel mini canvas totes are still in stock. Availability can vary by location, and Trader Joe’s typically doesn’t offer these limited tote drops online.
While some resell the bags on sites like eBay at much higher prices, Trader Joe’s doesn’t condone resellers.
"Our customers, in our stores, are our focus; we do not endorse the resale of any of our products, anywhere,” a Trader Joe's representative told USA Today in 2024, when the first set of bags was dropped.
If you want one, don’t wait too long!
