Not the renowned live music venue in Melbourne, just the name for a stylish bag to sling over your shoulder. Why is it called a 'Tote'? We’re not sure, so let's ask Wikipedia.

The word 'Tote' is a colloquial term of North American English origin meaning "to carry" or "to transport", generally in relation to a heavy load or burden. It is first recorded in Virginia in 1677, but its etymology is uncertain. An alleged African origin has been discredited. The term "tote bag" is first recorded in 1900. -
