Patent attributes
The convertible tote bag of the present invention comprises a container of any width, depth and length that can be either closed or open at the top, with or without exterior or interior pockets, with two carrying straps of adjustable size that are permanently attached on one end on opposite sides of the bag diagonally across from each other. The convertible tote bag can be carried in the hand or on the shoulder when the end of each strap that is not permanently attached to the bag is selectively attached to the attachment mechanism on the same side of the bag. In this invention there are two ways for the convertible tote bag to be worn as a backpack. One way to wear the convertible tote bag as a backpack is to thread the ends of each strap that are not permanently attached to the bag through the rings or apertures attached to the top of the opposite bag wall and extend the straps down the back wall to selectively attach to the attachment mechanisms permanently affixed on the lower part of the back wall of the bag. A second way to wear the convertible tote bag as a backpack is to selectively attach the end of each strap that is not permanently attached to the bag to the attachment mechanism on the opposite side of the bag.
