Some societies are exclusive. This one just requires that you’d rather be reading.
The Society of People Who’d Rather Be Reading Market Tote features a vintage-inspired distressed seal with an open book and coffee motif for readers who know exactly where they’d rather be. With its roomy carryall shape, zippered front pocket, contrasting black handles, and classic neutral styling, it’s made for bookstore runs, library hauls, workdays, errands, and carrying around the book you absolutely intend to read instead of doing something productive.
